11.5.9 Reference Point Offsets Packet
The reference point offsets packet can be used to adjust the measurement point that all data is referenced to.
By default all the values of this packet are zero and the measurement point that all data is referenced to is the
centre of the Boreas unit. The primary reference point offset can be used to adjust the measurement point to a
different location on the vehicle, in the body co-ordinate frame. The primary reference point offset applies to all
data output including NMEA etc as well as heave point 1.
Heave point 2 is reserved for use for the Centre of Gravity (COG) Lever Arm offset to improve coarse heading
alignment.
The other heave point offsets do not apply to heave point 1 in the 11.4.36 Heave Packet.
