Page 5: Vehicle Installation
Mount the SPAN CPT7 and GNSS antennas securely to the vehicle. For the simplest operation, align the X-axis of the SPAN CPT7 with the forward axis (direction of travel) of the vehicle and mount the Z-axis down. When mounted with X-axis forward, the default RBV configuration is valid. Any other mounting requires the SETINSROTATION RBV command to be sent. -
Page 6: Configuration For Alignment
3. The SPAN-CPT7 comes pre-configured with an RBV of 180 0 90. This configuration is valid if mounting is done as described in SPAN CPT7 Mounting on page 5. If the SPAN CPT7 is mounted in an orientation other than the default orientation, the SETINSROTATION command must be sent. Using the RBV parameter, enter the Euler Angle rotation from the IMU Body frame to the Vehicle frame. -
Page 7: Data Logging
The system is ready to go once it is powered and the GNSS and INS are configured using the previously shown commands. Observe the status of the system in the NovAtel Connect INS Window or in the status field of any of the INS solution logs (for example INSPOS, INSVEL, INSATT and INSPVA). -
