LiDAR

Lidar Offsets for LiDAR Payloads

• AA450 LiDAR should be X = 0, Y = -0.104 and Z = 0.432 If creating or uploading offset files

• RESEPI XT32 should be Right = 0, Forward = -0.104 and Up = 0.457 If creating or uploading offset files

Why is my LiDAR Calibration button not showing up although I have a LiDAR selected as a payload?

What should I do If my AA450 LiDAR is constanly beeping after being booted?

This means your license has expired. You may contact Support Report a Problem to have a new liscense emailed to you, which will never expire.

Is the hot-swap protocol for LiDAR payloads the same as other operations that involve hot-swapping?

When surveying with LiDAR, what coordinate datum should you use when using a PPK base?

What speed will the drone RTL at after completing a LiDAR mission?

How do I post process data with Inertial Labs LiDAR?

The monument coordinates, provided by a surveyor, includes the offset of the pole or pole/quick release. This is so they can provide the coordinates of the point (scribed X, survey nail or monument). PCMaster requires the ellipsoidal height at the base antenna phase center. The distance between the bottom of the base and the units phase center is unique per model and is most of the time published on the unit or in the technical documents. The total offset between the phase center of the antenna and the monument will need to be added to the ellipsoidal height in PCMaster when prompted to modify or accept the latitude, longitude and ellipsoidal height.

LiDAR Processing Software Installation

Install the processing software for post-processing the LiDAR data you've collected. Follow these steps:

1. Ensure that your computer meets the following requirements:

   • Intel Core i7, Ryzen 7, or better.

   • 32 GB RAM.

   • Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti or better (minimum 4GB of Digital RAM).

   • Windows OS.

   • Download and install the required processing software to post process data.

     • Inertial Labs has updated the workflow of the programs PCMaster and PCPainter. Please refer to the provided link to download the new versions of PCMaster and PCPainter.

   • The download links are accessible at the following location:Downloads | PCMaster and PCPainter

If the RESEPI XT32 is not showing a green button on the GNSS on the side of the LiDAR unit, what should I do?

• Connect to the RESEPI Access Point and navigate to the GUI through 192.168.12.1

• Scroll until you see Record Without GNSS”

• On the dropdown switch this to off as seen below and your GNSS button should now be green.

Open

On the USB thumb drive provided by RESEPI, there exists a folder specifically named boresight folder. Is it necessary to retain this folder on the USB thumb drive?

Yes. The boresight folder contains crucial calibration information and the corresponding data that is utilized. It is very important this folder remains intact, as it serves as the sole backup for the distinct unit's settings embedded within the firmware. Refrain from making any alterations to the files contained within this folder.

How do you use a geoid rather than WGS-84 Ellipsoid?

To use a geoid rather than WGS-84 Ellipsoid, you must select the geoid prior to opening the ppk.pcmp file generated after a data capture. It must be selected before any processing of the data. Follow these steps below:

• Open a new PCMasterGL window, not by double clicking on the ppk.pcmp file.

• Select the desired geoid model under the “Geoids” menu item.

• Select the “Open Project” menu item and navigate to the ppk.pcmp file that is auto-generated after a data-capture.

• Select the ppk.pcmp file and it will now process the data with the geoid model.

To add a geoid that is not available on the list, follow the steps below:

• Close any open windows of PCMasterGL.

• Go to Waypoint Geoids to find and download the geoid corresponding to the correct location of the data capture in .bmp and .wpg format.

• Navigate to the file location where PCMasterGL is downloaded on the PC. Open the Geoids folder located at PCMasterGL/resources/Geoids

• Once the geoid is downloaded, there will be a .bmp and .wpg file. Place both files in the Geoids folder opened in step 2.

• Open a new PCMasterGL window, and the new geoid should be in the list.

Where should I download geoids from?

This link to the Geoid via the Novatel list should be used to download your geoid: Waypoint Geoids

Where is RTK data from pictures taken stored?

The RTK data from pictures taken during a mission are stored on the txt file. The data is not stored on the actual pictures themselves.

What is the difference in the RESEPI PCMaster and the RESEPI PCMasterPro? Which should I use?

• PCMasterProGL combines PCMasterGL, PCPainterGL, and Batch Processor. The software has been thoroughly tested by the Inertial Labs Development and Product Release Team but is still formally being distributed as a beta release due to the size and complexity of the release. If a feature is not functioning properly, please let us know.

• Please note that as of now, PCMasterGL, PCPainterGL, and Batch Processor will no longer be supported for further updates as future updates will be contained within the merged software release in PCMasterProGL.

• If you have an active PCMaster or PCPainter license within your local license manager, then PCMasterPro will utilize the same key. No changes are required in the windows system.
