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 vehicles 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
