After accessing the Sensor Configuration menu this main configuration screen is active:
A variety of possible settings can be made on this screen. It is possible to navigate from one
configuration item to another by pressing the up and down arrow keys.
Value will be changed by pressing the left and right arrow key.
The fastest way to jump from one sensor to another is by pressing numbers 1
– 3 on the
keyboard. (Refer also to chapter 3.8.4 for specific information on a particular sensor)
The following changes can be undertaken for each of the sensor interfaces (by left and right
arrow key):
o Changing the baud rate (4800, 9600 and 38400) to the required speed of the sensor
device by pressing the right or left arrow keys.
o Enabling or disabling CRC-Checking by pressing the right or left arrow keys.
<auto> Sentence will be accepted with or without Checksum
<on> Checksum must be available
o Configuring NMEA sentences, which the system filters and ignores
There are 5 entry fields where characters can be input. Two positions of each entry
field are for Talker-Id, and three for Sentence-Id, which represents the NMEA-
sentence which should be ignored by the system.
(i.e. the default setting: “HC“ means ignore all NMEA records starting with HC on this
particular sensor interface)
Note: HC stands for magnetic north and should be ignored.
For Example:
-- VTG means all VTG sentence IDs will be ignored like GPVTG, GNVTG…
VW--- means all VW Talkers ID from speed log will be ignored like VWVHW, VWVBW
Changes on this screen can be saved by pressing the “Save” – Button [M5].
The factory settings can
be recalled be pressing the “Default” – Button [M6].
Returning back to the previous screen is possible by press ing the “BACK” – Button [M8].
The next step is the analysis of the current sensor interface settings, which can be
undertaken with the “Analyze” – Button [M7]. After pressing this button, the real-time analysis
of the sensor data stream begins. This process takes around 30 seconds and is visible on a
temporary screen.
