Functions
The Applanix POS MV offers many advanced functions including:
• Motion measurement
• TrueHeave (software option)
• Analog interface (hardware option)
• Position and velocity measurement
• AutoRecovery and fault detection, isolation and reconfiguration
• AutoStart
• Ethernet Data logging
• Event tagging
The following paragraphs describe each of these functions.
Motion Measurement
The principal function of POS MV is to deliver dynamically integrated position
and orientation data. It delivers motion measurements (roll and pitch angle,
true heading and real-time heave) for use by external equipment such as
