Our GPS and IMU navigational interfaces are compatible with various satellite navigation systems to ensure the best signal coverage and most precise and robust position tracking:
- GPS L1 and L2
- GLONASS L1 and L2
- GALILEO E1
- COMPASS L1
- BeiDou B1 and B2
See technical specification for full specification list and details about which device works with which satellite navigation system.
Dewesoft offer highly accurate Inertial Measurement Units which provide rugged and reliable GPS aided inertial navigation system including AHRS that provides accurate position, velocity, acceleration and orientation under most demanding conditions.
DS-IMU instruments are rugged devices which offer an IP67 degree of protection and are MIL-STD-810G rated. DS-IMU1 and DS-IMU2 are a combination of multiple sensors like gyroscope, accelerometer, magnetometer, pressure sensor and a high-speed GNSS receiver. Coupled with sophisticated algorithms they deliver very accurate and reliable navigation and orientation. IMU offers up to 500 Hz output data rate.
All Dewesoft GPS and IMU navigational devices can be upgraded with Real-time Kinematic GNSS technology (RTK). RTK improves positioning accuracy with the combination of GNSS receiver and additional base station down to 2 cm.
Any Dewesoft 100 Hz GPS and IMU device can be upgraded with RTK. Dewesoft provides all hardware accessories needed for the upgrade - base station, antennas and 3G and RF modems for data transmission between car and base station.
We provide a total solution for advanced position based test and measurement applications. Dewesoft X software received multiple innovation rewards, including software innovation of the year by Automotive Testing Technology International magazine. Applications like:
- Vehicle dynamics
- Brake test
- Acceleration test
- Lane change
- Circle drive
- Chassis development
- Validation
- ADAS
- Pass by Noise
- FUSI
- RTK positioning
and more are supported directly with the support for the validation and testing standards, mathematical calculations, online visualization, and reporting tools.
Dewesoft X DAQ software features add-on called Polygon. Polygon allows for easy definition of test polygons for all kind of vehicle dynamics and other moving vehicle involved tests. It supports multiple vehicles to be synchronized together as well as other moving or fixed objects.
Advanced 3D visualization with easily adaptable view angle provides a cruical visual representation of tested vehicled and objects. Built-in math provides free definable outputs like distances, angles, gate crosses and more... All the positioning data can be combined with synchronized analog data, CAN bus data, video, XCP/CCP, FlexRay, Kistler KiRoad and many more.
The synchronization is the most important aspect of every test and measurement application. Without the right correlation of data, it`s impossible to get correct results.
Parameters from navigational devices like position, velocity, acceleration, altitude, pitch, roll, heading are completely synchronised down to microseconds to the data from other sources like CAN bus, analog (vibrations, deformations, flow), counter/encoder (RPM, angles), video, XCP/CCP, KislerKiroad and others.
The GPS and IMU devices provide exact time information which allows different devices to be perfectly synchronized even if they are on the other side of the globe. This is great for test scenarios with multiple vehicles. Dewesoft NET technology allows getting all data to a master vehicle fully synchronized.
Bright, small, rugged LED display accessory is available for the drivers that can be used inside the vehicle. The display can be directly connected to any of our GPS devices and will display:
- speed,
- heading,
- altitude,
- time and
- number of satellites in reach.
