AutoStart
You must first configure the system with the following parameters before it
can operate properly when you transition POS MV to its navigate mode:
• The lever arm distances including those from the IMU, multi-beam
transducer and the primary GNSS antenna, to your chosen reference
point
• The sensor mounting angles of the IMU and the multi-beam
transducer relative to your chosen reference frame
These details are generally fixed at the time of installation. You can save
them to non-volatile memory so that POS MV initializes itself correctly during
each power-on sequence. If necessary, you can use the MV-POSView
Controller program at any time to alter and save any of the installation
parameters.
You can configure POS MV to enter navigate mode (the normal operating
mode) automatically after power-on. Alternatively, you can configure the
system to wait until it receives your command to enter navigate mode.
The ability to automatically enter navigate mode is called AutoStart. You can
use the MV-POSView Controller program to enable or disable AutoStart.
Refer to the
System Configuration section on page 4-1 for instructions to
configure the system using the MV-POSView Controller program. Refer to
Software Installation on page D-1 for instructions to install the MV-POSView
Controller program on a Personal Computer (PC).
