Kalman Filter #

If you have enabled IMU Integration, the main screen should show an indication of the Kalman Filter status.

Once the unit has acquired satellite lock, the display will read Filter Initialising - Remain Stationary for 30s.
The message will count down to 0 seconds and change to Stationary Initialisation Complete
After 2 seconds, it will display Waiting For Movement.

Note: If the speed rises above 0.8 km/h at any stage during the steps above, the countdown and filter initialisation will reset and the following message will be displayed: Speed >0.8kph – Initialisation reset.

When the unit has detected the speed, the display will show an indication of the Kalman Filter quality in relation to the Speed Quality Channel output on CAN ID 0x306. The display will read either:

Low Accuracy when the speed quality is >0.1 km/h.
Medium Accuracy When the speed quality is <0.1 km/h.
OK When the speed quality is <0.06 km/h for at least 5 seconds.

Factory Reset #

You can reset the unit to its factory settings by pressing the Up and Down arrow buttons simultaneously and holding them for 5 seconds. After this period, the unit will beep and it will play an audible confirmation signal when the reset is finished.

Note: Receiver settings (Dynamic Mode, DGNSS Mode, DGNSS Rate and Elevation mask) will not reset.
