SPAN Configuration with NovAtel Connect on page 52. The GNSS receiver is connected to the IMU with an RS-232, RS-422 or SPI link. A NovAtel GNSS antenna must also be connected to the receiver to track GNSS signals. After the IMU enclosure, GNSS antenna and appropriate power supplies are attached, and a few simple configuration com- mands are entered, the SPAN system will be ready to navigate.
All SPAN system receivers are factory configurable for L1/L2 RTK capability and are compatible with an IMU. See Table 1: SPAN-Compatible IMU Models below for firmware model details. Table 1: SPAN-Compatible IMU Models Model Name Compatible IMUs SW Model IMU-CPT IMU-CPT IMU-FSAS-EI iIMU-FSAS IMU-H1900-CA50 HG1900-CA50 OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v1...

For example, a model with L1/L2-only capabilities can be upgraded to a model with L1/L2 and NovAtel CORRECT with RTK™ in only a few minutes in your office (instead of the days or weeks that would be required if the receiver had to be sent to a service depot).

SPAN system also needs to know the location and orientation of these additional devices rel- ative to the IMU. 3.2.1 Translational Offsets The three dimensional distances between the IMU and other SPAN components are called trans- lational offsets. OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v1...

The measurements for the translational offsets should be done as accurately as pos- sible, preferably to within millimeters especially for RTK operation. Any error in the off- sets will translate into an error in the INS position. OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v1...

Page 45
Since all three sets of axes are already collinear, our frames are coincident, and no further rota- tion is required. This solution is not unique. Due to the properties of Euler Angles, there are usually mul- tiple sets of equivalent rotations. OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v1...

Specific logs need to be collected for post-processing. See Data Collection for Post Processing on page 69. To store data from an OEM7 receiver, connect the receiver to a computer running NovAtel Con- nect or other terminal program capable of recording data.
Kinematic alignment requires that the rotational offset between the vehicle and IMU Body frame (RBV) is known. If the angles are simple (that is, a simple rotation about one axis) the values can easily be entered manually through the SETINSROTATION RBV command. If the rotational OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v1...
