03 - VBOX IPS Rover Connection to VBOX 3i
The Rover unit can connect to a standard VBOX 3i and switches seamlessly between GPS and the indoor positioning
system, allowing you to use your original hardware for both outdoor and indoor testing. As the VIPS is designed to be
used with IMU integration enabled, the same IMU Initialisation Process should be performed as normal.
For indoor only use, it is important that the VBOX 3i does not have a GPS antenna connected. If the VBOX receives a
satellite signal, even a poor one, the timing will change from the internal clock to GPS time, causing the VIPS system to
fail. the VBOX 3i will function the same as when using GPS in terms of CAN In / Out, data logging (analogue, etc.) and
VBOX Test Suite use.
When indoor/outdoor operation is selected, the VBOX IPS system will wait for GPS lock and IMU synchronisation before
attempting to initialise the VIPS positioning.
Using Internal IMU
Connection between the Rover and VBOX 3i is via the supplied RLCAB153 cable.
• Insert the 7 way Lemo connector in to the right hand connector on the Rover.
• Connect the 25 way connector to the A IN port on the VBOX 3i.
• Connect the 5 way Lemo connector to the SER port on the VBOX 3i.
