Interfaces section in NAVconfig
This section contains options for configuring the interfaces of the RT. Some of these
settings are feature code controlled so may not be visible to all users on all devices.
Ethernet tab
The Ethernet settings include configuring the Ethernet data output rate, packet type
and Triggers for the RT. You can also enable the Driving Robot interface and input the
Driving robot IP if you are using a Driving robot with your RT.
The Ethernet output can either output NCOM or MCOM, or be disabled by using the
Output packet dropdown list. When NCOM or MCOM is selected, the Data rate can be
selected by using the dropdown list.
If a trigger has been configured as an event input, click the ‘Output’ on falling edge of
trigger or Output on rising edge of trigger checkboxes to choose when the extra data
packet is generated. If a trigger has been configured as an output trigger, click the
‘Output on camera trigger’ to generate extra data packets based on the output trigger
settings configured earlier. These packets are interpolated to the time when the event
occurred and may be output up to 30 ms late and out of order compared to the normal
messages.
It is essential to enable these options in order to see trigger information in NCOM, or if
the events have a rate higher than 1 Hz otherwise the output cannot communicate all of
the events and some will be lost.
For the Driving robot, the default address (195.0.0.100) is listed in the dropdown list but
can be changed if required by typing the correct address. When the ABD Steering Robot
is enabled, the output smoothing is automatically enabled too.
