Do not change any navigation configurations (refer to Section 4) settings when using
LEA-4R/TIM-4R, as it may influence the performance of the Enhanced Kalman Filter.
3.1.4 DR
Calibration
The
calibration
of
the
DR
sensors
is
a
transparent
and
continuously
ongoing
process
during
periods
of
good
GPS
reception:

Temperature
Compensation
The
gyroscope
is
a
temperature-dependent
device
that
requires
temperature
compensation
When
a
new
GPS
receiver
is
installed
in
a
vehicle,
the
accuracy
is
only
moderately
good
until
sufficient
calibration
data
has
been
collected,
e.g.
during
a
first
drive.
With
time,
continuous
calibration
results
in
continuous
improvement
of
dead
reckoning
accuracy.
Small
discontinuities,
like
deviating
wheel
diameters
after
exchanging
tires
(summer
vs.
snow
tires)
or
aging
of
the
sensors,
will
be
balanced
out
by
ongoing
automatic
calibration.
Calibration
parameters
must
be
reset
,
if
•
a
DR
module
is
transferred
to
a
different vehicle
and/or
a
different gyroscope
is
connected
•
the
sensor
integrity
check
has
reported
any
failure
from
the
sensors
and
set
itself
into
GPS only mode
Calibration
