HEADINGOFFSET

Adds heading and pitch offset values

Platform:

OEM719, OEM729, OEM7500, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7

This command is used to add an offset in the heading and pitch values of the HEADING2 log and GPHDT log.

The unmodified heading value represents the angle from True North of the base to rover vector in a clockwise direction. In some installations, it may not be possible to place the rover antenna in the desired location, for instance to match the forward-facing direction of the vehicle.

In the example above, the rover antenna (in brown) is offset from the forward direction of travel and the provided heading will look as if the land vehicle is "slipping". A Heading offset can help to account for that difference between heading output and actual course over ground. It is up to the user to accurately determine the offset to be applied to suit their scenario.

HEADINGOFFSET is not required to configure Dual Antenna ALIGN with SPAN. If desired, see configuration details in Configuring Dual Antenna ALIGN with SPAN

Most configurations of the HEADINGOFFSET command are not compatible with Waypoint Inertial Explorer and as such is not recommended for use if the data will be post processed. Contact support (see Customer Support) for more information.
