Page 8: Introduction
AHRS - Advanced Configuration - User Guide NTRODUCTION This document describes the Attitude and Heading Reference Sensor (AHRS) configuration and monitoring commands which can be used during operation. These commands are sent directly through the repeater port to check settings and modify AHRS or external sensors configuration (depending of the external sensor and of the AHRS capabilities), to reset the unit, and save the configuration to PROM. -
Page 9: Version And Products Concerned
Please, refer to your Product User Manual to check which external sensors are available. Contact iXBlue customer support to get the updated firmware version to be downloaded into your system (see document: Inertial Products - General Information (Ref.: MU- INS&AHRS-AN-007) for contact information). -
Page 10: General Conventions
On repeater port, serial configuration is fixed and set to 19200 bauds, odd parity bit, 2 stop bits. Repeater port will also output OCTANS STANDARD protocol. Answers to commands sent to this port will thus be mixed in OCTANS STANDARD output frames (refer to AHRS Interface Library (Ref.: MU-AHRS-AN-003) for details). -
