Table 2: SPAN-Compatible IMUs on page 28. GNSS antenna 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 commands are entered, the SPAN sys- tem will be ready to navigate.
The INS Model character indicates which features are enabled by the model. The INS options are explained in Table 1: INS Options below.

Chapter 2 SPAN Installation 2.3 UIC Installation For an IMU that cannot communicate directly to a NovAtel OEM7 receiver (e.g. SDLC/HDLC), an interface card is required for communication. The Universal Interface Controller (UIC) provides this communication between an OEM7 receiver card and the IMU, specifically an IMU that has higher power requirements.
The amount of board deflection (bow and twist) must not exceed 0.75%. For example, on the UIC which is 100 mm long and 113 mm wide, the deflection along the length must not exceed 0.75 mm and the deflection along the width must not exceed 0.85 mm.

INS operation is 5 Hz. If the receiver is not running INS (no IMU is attached), GNSS logs can be requested at rates up to 20 Hz. Ensure that all windows, other than the Console, are closed in NovAtel Connect and then use the SAVECONFIG command to save settings in NVM. Otherwise, unnecessary data logging occurs and may overload your system.
Specific logs need to be collected for post-processing. See Data Collection for Post Processing on page 121. To store data from an OEM7 receiver, connect the receiver to a computer running NovAtel Connect or other ter- minal program capable of recording data. On PwrPak7 receivers, you can also collect data on internal memory.

TAGGEDMARK1PVA log should be requested ONNEW to capture the data. 3.7 Distance Measurement Instrument A Distance Measurement Instrument (DMI) can provide additional accuracy and reliability to a NovAtel SPAN solution. Typically, a DMI measures the distance traveled and represents the measurement using digital pulses. For a land vehicle, where a DMI is also known as a wheel sensor, the pulses are referred to as wheel ticks.
Chapter 3 SPAN Operation NovAtel products that support quadrature encoding also accept a single channel DMI input. In the case of a single channel, only the A+/A- differential wire pair is connected. A single channel provides benefit to the SPAN solution by measuring only the distance traveled without regard for direction.

3.12 Relative INS NovAtel's Relative INS technology generates a position, velocity and full attitude vector between two SPAN sys- tems. One is the Master receiver and the other is the Rover receiver. Once configured, the Master receiver begins transmitting corrections to the Rover receiver. Relative information is created and the system begins filling the RELINSPVA log and SYNCRELINSPVA log on the Rover receiver.
To configure Relative INS using the RELINSAUTOMATION command, the master and rover receivers must be communicating using a COM port. If the master and rover are communicating via an ICOM port, the RELINSCONFIG command must be used. OEM7 SPAN Installation and Operation User Manual v14...
