With the IG-Devices protocol, you can also connect virtually any material to the IG-500E. For example, you can connect a DVL, an USBL and a depth sensor to the IG-500E and fuse data between these three sensors and the IG-500E.
By default, you can find it in the following directory: C:\Program Files\SBG-Systems\IG-500 SDK\Software Development\Examples You will find below the configuration needed by the IG-Device to work correctly with the IG-500E. 3.1. General configuration For best results, please make sure that the IG-Device is configured as describe below. All other settings should be reset to factory default settings.
3.3. Sync Out pin configuration If the remote IG-Device supports synchronization output signal, then a synchronization pulse should be sent at the output divider frequency. This will allow the IG-500E to synchronize incoming data with its internal clock. The falling edge pulse mode is preferable as it generates the smallest delay.
Note 2: For best results, please make sure that the IG-Device magnetometers soft iron matrix is set to identity and that the hard iron offset is set to (0,0,0). Note 3: GPS and barometer give direct data to the IG-500E, so no calibration parameter is stored in one or another device.
Mag Calib. Data. : These data are used for magnetometers calibration. • Therefore, when you run a hard and soft iron calibration, the result stored in the IG-500E corresponds to the remote magnetometer calibration. Note: When the magnetic source is changed, the magnetic calibration present in IG-500E memory becomes inconsistent with the actual magnetometer used and must be performed again for proper operation.
Our goal is to provide the best experience to our customers. If you have any question, comment or problem with the use of your IG-500E, we would be glad to help you, so please feel free to contact us. Please do not forget to mention your IG-500E Device ID (written on your IG-500E’s label).
IG-500E IG Device Integration Manual 7. Appendix: Low level commands definitions 7.1. Introduction The remote IG-Device module accepts the following specific commands. These commands are encapsulated into the generic external module configuration frames. See the IG-Devices Serial Protocol Specifications or the IG-Devices CAN Protocol Specifications for more information about this generic configuration frame.
Size (bytes) An acknowledge is returned after the transaction. SBG_EXT_CMD_IG_GET_ MATRIX_OFFSET (0x03) This command is used to retrieve the orientation offset between the IG-500E and the remote IG-Device. It has no parameter and its answer should be SBG_ EXT_CMD_IG_RET_ MATRIX_OFFSET (0x04):...
