Sensor Ranges

GNSS Compass supports dynamically changing the range on its sensors using the INS Manager > Sensor Ranges page.

At lower ranges the sensor performance is better, but at higher ranges GNSS Compass can be used in more extreme dynamics. The best performance is achieved by choosing the lowest range where your application won't generate over-range events.

Sensor over-range events can be detected in the Filter Status field and the INS Manager toolbar, where the status indicator will go orange to indicate that a sensor has gone over-range. When a sensor goes over-range this causes the filter to become inaccurate, and in some cases it can cause the filter to reset.

By default GNSS Compass comes configured to the lowest (most sensitive) sensor ranges. In this configuration it is possible to send the gyroscopes over-range by quickly rotating the unit in your hand.
