Step 9. Click “Start” button. Initial alignment of the INS will start.
This is signified by the message “Initial alignment. Please wait”. Also a
progress bar of initial alignment will appear in the status line of the main
window. During the initial alignment the INS has to be unmovable relative to
the Earth. Once the initial alignment time is over, observe changes in
numeric data and graphical evolutions of the object.
Note: For visual convenience of INS position perception displayed on the monitor and
the INS real position, it is recommended to place the INS in parallel with the monitor
before the beginning of work as follows: direct lateral axis X to the monitor and direct
longitudinal axis Y in parallel with the monitor on the left.
Step 10. If you have selected “On Request” operating mode, click
“Request” button to get data from the INS each time if you want.
Observe changes in numeric data and graphical evolutions of the object.
Step 11. To save data click “Write” button. Caption “Data are
writing in file!” will appear. Also a progress bar of data writing and timer will
appear in the status line of the main window.
In “On Request” operating mode data are written in file sequentially with the
each clicking “Request” button.
Note: To allow data sawing the appropriate checkbox should be set in the “Test
Options” window (see Fig. 4.1).
