51. ull fields in the heading output messages There is no user control over the timeout period of the gyro Calibration which is set at the factory is required for the gyro to remove latency from the heading solution as well as provide backup heading when GPS is blocked The receiver will calibrate itself after running for a while but it may be important to follow the manual calibration instructions if you want to guarantee performance quickly after powering up the receiver With the gyro enabled the gyro is also used to update the post HTAU smoothed heading output from the GPS heading computation This means that if the HTAU value is increased while gyro aiding is enabled there will be no lag in heading output due to vehicle maneuvers Hemisphere GNSS GPS Technical Reference includes information on setting an appropriate HTAU value for the application 33 Chapter 3 Operation Time Constants The V104s incorporates user configurable time constants that can provide a degree of smoothing to the heading pitch rate of turn ROT course over ground COG and speed measurements You can adjust these parameters depending on the expected dynamics of the vessel For example increasing the time is reasonable if the vessel is very large and is not able to turn quickly or would not pitch quickly The resulting values would have reduced noise resulting in consistent values with time However if the vessel is quick and nimble increasing
52. working in conjunction output heading pitch and roll values Note Regardless of which mounting orientation you use the V104s provides the ability to output the heave of the vessel This output is available via the GPHEV message For more information on this message refer to refer to GPS Technical Reference available from the Hemisphere GNSS website at www hemispheregnss com Parallel Orientation The most common installation is to orient the V104s parallel to and along the centerline of the axis of the boat This provides a true heading In this orientation e fyou use a gyrocompass you can enter a heading bias in the V104s to calibrate the physical heading to the true heading of the vessel e You may need to adjust the pitch roll output to calibrate the measurement if the Vector is not installed in a horizontal plane Perpendicular Orientation You can also install the antennas so they are oriented perpendicular to the centerline of the boat s axis In this orientation e You will need to enter a heading bias of 90 if the primary antenna is on the starboard side of the boat and 90 if the primary antenna is on the port side of the boat e You will need to configure the receiver to specify the GPS antennas are measuring the roll axis using JATT ROLL YES e You will need to enter a roll bias to properly output the pitch and roll values e You may need to adjust the pitch roll output to calibrate the measurement if the V
