This gives the option to configure the DGPS Settings for your VBOX 3i ADAS. Note: RTK is permanently enabled for VBOX 3i ADAS. Enable NTRIP Tick this box if you are using an NTRIP Modem as your DGPS source. If you do not enable the NTRIP Modem here, the VBOX unit will not source RTK corrections from the connected NTRIP Modem. RS232 baud rate This setting lets you change the DGPS serial rate. To ensure that the VBOX receives the DGPS correction signal, you must make sure to set the correct RS232 rate. |

Leap second You can change the leap second value if required. The value was increased to 18 seconds as of December 2016 - you can find more information here. Elevation mask You can also change the elevation mask, with a selectable range from 5° to 25° (10° is the default). If the testing area has nearby trees or buildings, you may benefit from increasing this value to reduce the multi-path effect. You can find more information on this here. Note: Increasing the elevation mask value will reduce the number of satellites the VBOX will be able to use. |
