      Support Thread: Time Offset Between GPS Data and INS Data

      Posted by Will Dillingham on Aug 19, 2020 2:09:06 PM

      Purpose: To give insight for the potential user on a commonly seen misunderstanding in the difference between UTC and GPS timestamps.

      Customer:

      I have found one issue that I am currently confused with. The timestamp recorded from COM1 of the INS is consistently 17-20 seconds fast. If I start recording at 00 seconds, the first timestamp is equal to 17+ seconds, however the location data that comes from the GPS receiver is correct for 00 seconds and not 17+ seconds. Any insights into this issue?

      Purpose: The purpose of this article is to show the steps to configuring usage of individual constellations, make sure to send these commands using an RS-232 connection and not to use Ethernet. It is critical that you follow these instructions carefully to not incorrectly configure the unit. If there is any uncertainty please consult a Customer Service agent. Developer options such as these may result in the Warranty of the device being voided.
