At this point, the Lodestar can be shutdown by typing in the shutdown command
SYS SHUTDOWN 1
three times, as shown in the example below.
The Lodestar will then shutdown.
Note that in firmware V2.03 onwards the Lodestar will shutdown with a single
command instead of 3.
Configuration
Software supplied by Sonardyne allows the user to configure and operate the
Lodestar (for AHRS operation, see manual UM-8084-107 for guidance on
configuration). The Lodestar stores the configuration requirements in non-volatile
memory, and uses the stored details to restore the same operating condition when
you power-on the unit subsequently.
After you have made all connections between the Lodestar and external systems,
and you have configured Lodestar fully, the configuration PC can be disconnected
and allow the Lodestar to operate as a stand-alone motion reference unit. In this
mode, the Lodestar will continue to operate in the same configuration until you
connect the PC and change the unit’s configuration.
