NovAtel's ALIGN heading technology generates a heading solution using the position information from the primary and secondary GNSS antenna. Single antenna receivers (such as the PwrPak7, CPT7700 and OEM7700) require a second receiver to generate an ALIGN solution. Dual antenna receivers (such as the PwrPak7D, CPT7 and OEM7720) can provide an ALIGN solution without an additional receiver.

SPAN with Dual Antenna provides the hardware necessary to run an ALIGN baseline with an IMU and a second receiver.

With SPAN, the ALIGN GNSS baseline can be used to assist the initial alignment of the SPAN solution. In addition, the ALIGN baseline solution will aid the heading solution from the receiver if the heading drifts due to slow or constant dynamics.

ALIGN is capable of a 10 Hz heading output rate when integrated with the OEM7 receiver.

For optimal performance of Dual Antenna with SPAN, refer to the configuration details described in Configuring dual antenna ALIGN with SPAN.
