Applanix POS AV sends NMEA data
required by iX Flight to calculate
aircraft position and flight director.

iX Flight (in iX Controller) calculates
when to take a picture (based on
NMEA/GSOF data received from
Applanix POS AV) and issues a
trigger.

• iX Flight (in iX Controller) sends
angle data to SOMAG DSM 400
stabilizer for stabilization.
• iX Flight (in iX Controller)
calculates Start of Line and before
reached, sends "Stab" command to
SOMAG DSM 400 stabilizer.
• iX Flight (in iX Controller)
calculates End of Line and after
reached, sends "Manual" command
to SOMAG DSM 400 stabilizer.
