Vehicle Setup
Use the Vehicle Setup window to configure the vehicle reference point. The vehicle reference point is used when configuring SPAN.
The Vehicle Setup window is only available on receivers with an internal IMU (CPT7, CPT7700, PwrPak7-E1, PwrPak7D-E1, PwrPak7-E2, PwrPak7D-E2 or SMART7-S) or receivers connected to a SPAN compatible IMU.

Click the Type button for the vehicle type that best suits the vehicle on which the SPAN system is installed. The graphic representations of the vehicle and the default values in the Dimensions fields will change.

These fields are used to properly scale the visual representation of the vehicle. They are not used in the position solution.

The values entered for the Reference Point (RP) Location must be within the maximum dimensions defined for the vehicle.
