    When in motion, the antenna’s yaw (heading), relative to north, is provided by the GPS heading. The Kymeta u7 antenna out-of-the-box configuration assumes that the X axis of the antenna is aligned with the heading vector of the vehicle. If this is not the case, you can set the vehicle to ant-yaw value to inform the antenna of the offset.
  • Page 21 You can adjust the vehicle-to-antenna-yaw offset value using the antenna’s API. Navigate to Help > API Documentation > /setup/vehicle-to-ant. Then, set the necessary value.
