3. Using the InterSense command format:
MCF{beaconNum}, X, Y, Z, Nx, Ny, Nz, beacon ID
Where,
{beaconNum} is a sequential number (i.e. 1, 2, 3, …)
X, Y, Z are the beacon locations in meters in nav-space (x forward, y to the right, z down),
Nx, Ny, Nz are the pointing vectors of the beacon, usually they point down in the +Z direction so
entering 0,0,1, is correct; and,
BeaconID is the SoniDisc number determined by the “daisy chain” sequence of the SoniStrips for
that specific beacon (i.e. with SoniStrips plugged into port 5, the sequence starts at 5001, 5002,
5003, 5004, etc…).
Enter beacon locations in meters into comma delimited text file (.txt) using WordPad or any text
editing application on your PC in the following format shown in the example below.
