Configuration |
| >> |
WinFrog uses the power of object-oriented
programming to allow unmatched flexibility in configuring
devices, calculations and vehicles. |
Devices |
| >> |
Up to 25 devices may be dynamically configured
by the operator, with multiple copies of the same device
created, so that several GPS sets or depth sounders
may be used simultaneously. View
WinFrog Supported Devices List. |
| >> |
Navigation data may be output in industry-standard
NMEA or customized formats. |
| >> |
System may serve as a central data collection
and distribution point for an entire project and raw
data for each device may be logged for future playback
and recalculation. |
Calculations |
| >> |
Various types of data may be dynamically
combined into a weighted position solution for a vehicle. |
| >> |
Configuration options are available for
generic input types such as ranges, headings, velocity,
pseudo-ranges, azimuths and elevation / depths. |
| >> |
Kalman filtering and user-defined gates
may be selected to smooth data and reject spikes inherent
in any measurement system. |
Vehicles |
| >> |
Multiple vehicles may be defined, each
containing various devices. |
| >> |
Calculations of each vehicle’s position
may be independently defined. |
| >> |
Each vehicle may have its own shape, offsets,
waypoint and line track. |
| >> |
Events may be generated by multiple vehicles. |
Windows |
| >> |
WinFrog training time is minimal since
it runs on Microsoft Windows® user-friendly operating
system. Separate windows are provided for graphics,
vehicle control, device control, track following and
quality control. |
Graphics Windows |
| >> |
Multiple graphics windows may be opened
and controlled independently. |
| >> |
Vehicle location may be displayed with
respect to a trackline or waypoint. |
| >> |
Digitized data such as shoreline, hazards
or structures may be used for the background chart. |
Vehicle Windows |
| >> |
Alphanumeric window displays raw data
for devices. |
| >> |
Alphanumeric window for each vehicle includes
vehicle speed, vehicle heading, course of advance, crosstrack
error and other useful data. |
DGPS Positioning and Quality Control |
| >> |
May be configured to compute a DGPS position
using raw pseudo-ranges |
| >> |
Extensive quality assurance achieved through
use of UKOOA standard statistical testing |
| >> |
Multiple RTCM inputs can be used to monitor
reference station integrity
