type of synchronisation to implement, based on the synchronisation possibilities of their

own systems. For synchronisation, one system must be in control, therefore sends the

synchronisation signal (Master/Sync Out), and the other attached systems are controlled by

and receive this signal (Slave/Sync In).

The hardware clock of the Awinda Station is very accurate. As an indication of the clock

accuracy, the error in the Awinda Station’s clock has a maximum of 1 µs every second (1

ppm).

Therefore, in general, the recommended scenario is that Xsens is the master sending the

control signals during synchronisation.

There are four synchronisation ports on the Awinda Station, onto which BNC connectors can

be attached. Two sync ports (Line 1 and Line 2) are available for Sync In and two for Sync

Out. For each synchronisation port, there are a number of possible synchronisation

possibilities.

See Section 11.8 for synchronisation examples.

NOTE: Set the synchronisation settings before carrying out the wireless configuration step.

NOTE: It is not possible to set synchronisation settings during a wireless connection.

To configure the software for synchronisation control, go to >Tools, >Synchronisation
