When system is loaded insert USB drive
Right-click rmware folder (e.g., r3170 BCN)
Select Open Terminal Here
In Terminal type: bash ./install./install.sh
Message at the bottom should say "Successful"
If you update to a version higher than 3105 you need to type: sudo ldcong
Close Terminal
Back in StarTracker software Main -> Restart
Check and verify rmware has updated (located bottom of ST screen "ver: xxxx")
16.2 Test Signals
The tracking test signals replace the real tracking data coming out of the StarTracker with fake
data created completely independently of the optical / gyro sensors and ltering (for instance a
constant pan with other axes xed). Thus, moving the camera during a test signal will have no
eect on the graphics.
This allows you to determine whether tracking data problems are due to communication (e.g.,
genlock, network or RS422 issues), virtual set issues (e.g., scene too heavy) or the quality of the
tracking (e.g., optical noise, gyro noise), as it is rarely obvious which is to blame for jitters,
stuttering and other eects.
The test signals will often save you time digging around and playing with StarTracker Tuning &
Data settings by ruling out optical & gyro noise if the issue is not due to the tracking quality.
Press Data → Test Data to cycle through the available test signals. The last setting will be “O”,
which provides normal tracking. The most useful test signal types are:
Inc pan: This xes X,Y,H,T,R at constant values and pans the virtual camera at a constant speed.
Zoom and Focus are unaected and function normally. If the virtual camera does not pan
smoothly in this mode, then the problem is not tracking quality but either a communication/
genlock or virtual set problem.
PT Jump2: This jumps between two sets of X,Y,H,P,T,R values alternating every eld:
X,Y,H,P,T,R→X,Y,H,P+5,T+5,R→X,Y,H,P,T,R→X ,Y,H,P+5,T+5,R→X,Y,H,P,T,R→…. Zoom and Focus
are unaected and function normally. You should see two virtual objects overlaid on each other,
one panned and tilted by +5 deg relative to the other. If there is a genlock or other sync
problem that means only odd or even elds are rendered, or elds are dropped, or the tracking
