Subcomponent Information

The Subcomponent Information page shows the serial numbers and hardware version information for the Certus subcomponents. This will be useful information to include when contacting our support team.

Status

The Status shows the current status of Certus as reported by sections System State Packet (ID#20) and Raw GNSS Packet. (ID#29).

Note: The following Status flags do not update for Certus units with a Trimble BD992 GNSS Receiver. These flags are only applicable to u-blox GNSS Receivers: GNSS 2, Antenna 1 disconnected, Antenna 2 disconnected, Antenna 1 short, Antenna 2 short

Satellites

The Satellites page shows detailed information on the satellites that are visible to both antennas of the Certus GNSS receiver.

The information is displayed as a satellite skyplot, a table and an SNR graph. A maximum of 28 satellites will be displayed, even if more are accessible. This plot shows the SNR of each satellite at the primary and secondary antenna. As a guideline, these should be within 5-10 dB of each other in the absence of cable or antenna faults

Raw Sensors

The Raw Sensors page shows the temperature-calibrated raw IMU sensor values.

In the lower plot only the air pressure is plotted. The current value from the internal temperature sensors are given on the right. These do not provide general environmental temperature.

Orientation

The Orientation page shows the Certus orientation and angular velocity. Course is determined by measuring sequential positions. Slip is the difference between the heading and the course.
