DMS via the RS-232 serial connection. Calibration is achieved by using the maintenance software to store data in non-volatile memory within the DMS. The DMS-SGP01 differs from a “standard” DMS with the addition of a GPS antenna and receiver. This allows the DMS to output track heading instead of relative heading.
Mounting The DMS-SGP01 has four 0.15” diameter mounting holes for 6-32 screws (See Figure 1). If high shock loads are expected (greater than 10G or repeated shocks greater than 5G), appropriate shock mounting should be used to prevent damage.
The message can be read by using a terminal program or by using the terminal mode of Watson Industries’ communication software. The DMS can also be “re-initialized” after it has been turned on. This is especially useful if the sensor has been used in severe maneuvers that have over-ranged the angular rate sensors and caused significant errors to accumulate.
The maximum rate is 71.11 strings per second. See Appendix A for information on how to change the data string. The contents of a typical string are formed as follows: Watson Industries, Inc. DMS-SGP01 Rev B 03/22/2018...

The system is protected from inadvertent write-over of the EEPROM by requiring two spacebar commands during the initialization interval to access the EEPROM or related functions.

Leave pin open if not in use. Ground to command. NOTE: The digital logic inputs are all disabled if any one equivalent serial command is sent via RS-232. This is to prevent hardware/software conflicts. Watson Industries, Inc. DMS-SGP01 Rev B 03/22/2018...
