Device Information
Device information is useful during technical support and for tracking your serial number, firmware and hardware version.
Manager Device Information
Status
The Status shows the current status of Motus as reported by sections System State Packet (ID#20) .

Satellites
Note: Motus AHRS variants can be used as an INS with velocity and position. It can also be interfaced to any leading brand of GNSS receivers to create an OEM GNSS/INS solution.
The information is displayed as a satellite skyplot, a table and an SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) 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. Elevation and azimuth are in units of degrees.

Raw Sensors
Raw sensors shows the
Temperature readings are available for a range of sensors: T(Ax), T(Ay), and T(Az) correspond to the accelerometer's x, y, and z axes; T(Gx), T(Gy), and T(Gz) relate to the gyroscope's X, Y, and Z axes; T(M) is for the magnetometer; and T(P) reports temperature of the pressure sensor.

Orientation
Orientation shows the Motus orientation, angular velocity and orientation error. To enhance the user's understanding of some of the less intuitive metrics, Course is defined as the path determined by measuring sequential positions, and Slip is the difference between the heading and the course.
Manager Orientation Outputs
Position
Position shows the Motus position and position error. Latitude and longitude are converted to North and East metres from a reference point that can be reset.
Manager Position Outputs
Velocity and Acceleration
Velocity and Acceleration shows the Motus velocity, acceleration and g-force.
Manager Velocity and Acceleration Outputs
Time
This dialogue box allows the to view the time for the connected device. Views are in Unix, UTC, or Local time formats to best suit user requirements to ensure accurate timekeeping and synchronisation across systems.
Time Dialogue
Communications
This dialogue shows statistics on the data packets received from Motus and can be useful in diagnosing signal integrity problems.
Manager Communications Dialogue
Heave
For the Heave dialogue to display data, the Heave Packet (ID 58) must be configured in the Packet Rates dialog. Reference point offsets for heave are configured in the Reference Position Offsets dialog.
