To enable output displacement, click the checkbox in the properties window and enter
the offsets to the new location in the vehicle. The offsets are measured from the RT in
the vehicle co-ordinate frame. Select the directions from the drop-down lists.
Note that the noise in the acceleration outputs will be much higher when output
displacement is used. Typical installations in moving vehicles have angular vibrations of
about 2 rad/s²; this equates to 2 m/s² of additional vibration of a 1 m output displacement.
It will be necessary to filter the data if output displacement is used.
Distance output
Adjustment: select a predefined value from the drop-down list or type in a value.
It is possible to configure the RT to simulate the output of a wheel speed encoder. This
will be in the form of TTL pulses—each pulse representing a distance travelled. Using
the Distance output option the scaling of this output can be configured, in pulses per
metre (ppm) travelled.
Analogue output
Adjustment: click … button to open properties window.
The Analogue output option is used for configuring the RT-ANA companion product.
There are 16 channels in the RT-ANA, numbered from 0 to 15. The Measurement,
Range, and Min and Max values for all 16 channels can be configured. Click on a
specific cell to change the settings.
Note: The CAN bus must be configured correctly for the analogue outputs to work
correctly.
