IG-500E
IG Device Integration Manual
3. Protocol requirements
In order to ease the IG-Device integration, the IG-500E should communicate directly with a
pre-configured IG-Device. Before connecting an IG-Device to an IG-500E, you should first connect
the external IG-Device to a computer in order to configure it correctly.
The easiest way to do this is to use the provided IG-30G configuration C example that use the
sbgCom library. By default, you can find it in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\SBG-Systems\IG-500 SDK\Software Development\Examples
You will find below the configuration needed by the IG-Device to work correctly with the IG-500E.
3.1. General configuration
For best results, please make sure that the IG-Device is configured as describe below. All other
settings should be reset to factory default settings.
•
Serial Baudrate set to highest possible value in order to reduce latency (minimum 115 200
bps recommended).
•
Output mode set to Big Endian with floating point format.
•
Continuous/trigger output divider set to 10.
•
Attitude computation disabled (on IG-30G).
•
Main loop filter frequency set to 100 Hz (on IG-30G)
•
Magnetometers soft and hard iron matrix set to identity and offset to null.
