    Appendix C....................2425 Watson Industries prides itself on solving customer problems and serving their needs in a timely fashion. This manual is intended to facilitate this goal and to provide written information about your product. We ask that you carefully read this manual.
  • Page 3: Introduction

    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.
  • Page 4: Installation

    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.
  • Page 5: Operation

    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.
  • Page 6: Free Mode

    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...
  • Page 7 EEPROM of the unit (see Appendix A). In addition, more channels are available for output (see Appendix A). 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.
