Status Indicator

The status indicator section contains a Spatial Dual status indicator, a fix indicator and
a satellites table.
11.5.3.1

Spatial Status Indicator

This indicator shows any problems with Spatial Dual. Before a GNSS fix is achieved it
will show the status "Filter not initialised". Once the filter has initialised it should show
"Healthy". Clicking on the indicator will show the detailed status flags.
11.5.3.2

Fix Indicator

This shows the status of the GNSS fix. Under normal operating conditions it should
show either "3D Fix" or "SBAS Fix". When satellite visibility is poor it may show either
"2D Fix" or "No Fix".
11.5.3.3

Satellites Table

The satellites table shows the number of active satellites being used in the current
GNSS solution. More detailed information can be found in the satellites view.
11.5.4 3D Map
The 3D map shows Spatial Dual's position on the Earth as well as a red trail of position
history. When the filter initialises the map will automatically reset the view to Spatial
Dual's location. To move the camera click and drag on the map. To zoom in and out
use the scroll wheel. To change the camera view right click and drag or shift click and
drag.
11.5.5 3D Map Controls
11.5.5.1

Reset View

This resets the map view to Spatial Dual's current position.
11.5.5.2

Clear History

This clears the current position history, this is the red trail shown on the map.
11.6

Logging

Spatial Dual Manager features a fully automatic logging system. Every time the serial
port connect button is clicked Spatial Dual Manager starts a new log file in either the
current directory or the user's home directory. The log file is given the file name
SpatialLog_date_time.anpp and contains all of the raw data received from Spatial Dual
in the AN packet protocol. The log files are closed when the serial port is disconnected.
To convert these log files into easily accessible formats, the log converter dialogue in
the tools menu can be used, see section 11.9.3. The log converter dialogue creates a
folder and generates files in the CSV (comma separated values) format that can be
easily opened with Microsoft Excel, Matlab, libreoffice and most other data analysis
