Summary of Contents for Swift Navigation Duro Inertial
Page 1
Overview Duro Inertial is a ruggedized version of Swift Navigation’s Piksi® Multi dual-frequency Real Time Kinematics (RTK) GNSS receiver including Carnegie Robotics’ SmoothPose™ sensor fusion algorithm, which combines GNSS and inertial measurements into an unified solution. The combination of GNSS and inertial measurements allows Duro Inertial to ...
Installation For proper Duro Inertial operation it is essential to mount both the Duro Inertial and the GNSS antenna securely and firmly to the vehicle body. During operation, the antenna and Duro Inertial must remain in the same position relative to each ...

Ensure that the Duro Inertial enclosure is on the same rigid body as the GNSS antenna. Some suspension systems may isolate the chassis from the cab and if the antenna moves when the Duro Inertial does not it will degrade results. When ...
After installing the GNSS antenna and Duro Inertial on the vehicle, the antenna offset should be measured. The antenna offset consists of X, Y, and Z components which should be measured along Duro Inertial’s X, Y, and Z axes (i.e. within the ...

To obtain yaw, pitch, and roll angles for the orthogonal mounting, refer to Appendix B - Duro Inertial Orientations, and use the values which match your installation. One way to think of the vehicle frame orientation is the rotations required to ...
Firmware Settings There are a number of firmware settings which directly affect the behavior of Duro Inertial. These are detailed in the tables below. Device settings can be configured via Swift Console on the Settings tab or directly via SBP messages. ...

RTK Corrections For the most precise and accurate position output, Duro Inertial should operate in RTK mode. Select and configure an RTK correction source in the same manner as a GNSS-only Duro. Refer to the Duro User Manual and support articles on the ...
LED Indicators Duro Inertial uses front panel LEDs to indicate when the INS is operational and the output position is computed using both GNSS and inertial subsystem. Purple lights for the POS LED indicate that INS is in use. Refer to the LED description table ...

The subset of Swift Binary Protocol messages directly related to Duro Inertial operation are highlighted in the tables below. When using Duro Inertial, you may need to adjust the e nabled_sbp_messages setting for the interfaces you use to communicate with the device. This setting is a comma separated list of message IDs (in decimal) that will be emitted on ...
Known Issues ● Latency of Duro Inertial is dependent on the configuration of your device. Pin 17 Position Valid (PV) does not go high during Dead Reckoning ● ● NMEA will stop output after power cycle until a valid GNSS time is received ...
Duro Inertial receivers can be identified in following ways: 1. Duro Inertial has a product name and part number located on the bottom of the enclosure. 2. The “product_id” read-only setting reflects the product ID. This setting exists in the “system_info” group in the ...
Appendix B - Duro Inertial Orientations Use the pictures below to determine Duro Inertial orientation angles in your vehicle installation. Angles are in degrees. Yaw: Yaw: Yaw: Yaw: Pitch: 0 Pitch: Pitch: Pitch: Roll: Roll: Roll: Roll:...
Appendix C - Duro Inertial Installation Worksheet Print and use this form to record Duro Inertial installation details and measurements. Antenna offset and vehicle frame rotation need to be entered to firmware settings for proper system operation. ...
For example, a rotation matrix that can be used to rotate a vector from the device frame (i.e a velocity in the Duro Inertial frame X-direction) to the Vehicle Frame, can be ...
Swift Console Graphic User Interface (GUI) program providing visual representation of what's happening inside Swift Navigation’s Piksi Multi, Duro, and Duro Inertial GNSS receivers. Console displays information and allows to adjust the settings on the hardware. Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. ...
