Page 44: Th Anchor (Example Only)
Anchor would be required to resolve the 2 solutions if the Tag can be located above or below the plane of the Anchors. If a 4 Anchor is added, TREK1000 uses data from that anchor to select the correct solution from the 2 returned solutions. Method: Add the 4 Anchor on a different plane than the first 3 anchors. - Page 45 - this is left up to the system designer to investigate other algorithms and change the code as appropriate to their application. © Decawave 2016 This document is confidential and contains information which is proprietary to Page 45 of 54 Decawave Limited.
