GNSS Antenna Offset
The GNSS antenna offset is measured from the centre of the Boreas unit to the centre of the antenna in the
body co-ordinate frame (X positive forward, Z positive down).
Odometer Offset
The odometer offset is measured from the centre of the Boreas unit to the point at which the vehicle's tyre being
measured makes contact with the road in the body co-ordinate frame (X positive forward, Z positive down).
If your odometer is not measuring a specific wheel, the offset should be to the point on the ground beneath the
measurement point. If, for example, your car is a front wheel drive and you are using the velocity from the car
OBDII port, the measurement point would be midway between the two front wheels.
External Data Offset
These values are only required for speciality applications operating with an external source of velocity data.

9.2.7.3 Port Mode and Baud Rates
When changing baud rates, some Microsoft Windows machines are unable to function at the higher baud rates.
It is recommended to test the baud rate first without selecting the Permanent box. This way, if it is not possible
to communicate at the higher baud rate, a power cycle can be used to revert to the previous baud rate.
The factory default baud rate value for these ports is 115200 bps.
The primary and auxiliary ports can be set to RS232 or RS422. The factory default is RS232 for both ports.
