10. The INS operation
10.1. The main operation modes of the INS
Step 1. Connect data transfer cable to the INS. Connect the other end
of the data transfer cable to either COM port or USB port of the host
computer. If connection between the computer and the INS is done through
a USB port, a driver for a COM-to-USB converter needs to be installed. See
Appendix A ‘Installation of the COM-to-USB converter drivers and
configuration of PC parameters’ for details on the installation procedure. If it
is connected to a standard PC COM port, then there are no needs to install
any drivers. Note that INS manufacturer guarantees reliable operation of the
INS if it is connected directly to the COM port.
Connect an active GNSS antenna to the INS TNC connector.
After power on the INS LED indicator lights yellow. After completing of
initialization of the onboard GNSS receiver (about 25 sec) the LED indicator
lights red and the INS is ready for operation.
Step 2. Start INS_GUI.exe file to begin working with the GUI software.
The main menu will appear (Fig. 3.1).
Step 3. Select “Test options…” from the “Options” menu (see Fig.
3.7) or click button. “Test option” window (Fig. 4.1) will open.
Step 4. Set the correct СОМ port number in the “Serial port” field and
its baud rate as Fig. 4.1 shows.
Step 5. (Not obligatory) In “Test option” window (Fig. 4.1), if you need,
you can set “Record time” of data writing when data is being saved to file
and “Number data for average” (the quantity of averaged data) that can be
used for smoothing of viewed data. Note that averaging relates to the data
output on the screen only and is not applied to the data written in a file.
Note: To find the number of the СОМ port to which the INS is connected, see “2.
Installation of drivers and configuration of the PC parameters” and “Appendix А.
Installation of the COM-to-USB converter drivers and configuration of the PC
parameters”.
