NEMO INVEX SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The Nemo Invex system combines powerful intuitive software and a scalable military grade hardware platform to create superior drive-test systems for wireless networks. Quick and easy to deploy, Nemo Invex provides critical quality-of-service (QoS) measurements and a wide variety of quality-ofexperience (QoE) service testing, including the latest voice and video quality measurement algorithms. Nemo Invex is flexible and scalable, capable of evolving as the network evolves providing the lowest effective total cost of ownership available. The Nemo Outdoor software application is also widely known as a tool for network optimization. With other benchmarking tools QoS statistics can be collected but no actual reasons for possible issues, such as, low data rates can be seen without a cause identified. Often the network issue is interference and other benchmarking tools are collecting quality parameters but no real time analysis is performed. The Nemo solutions allow the user to activate different interference analysis measurements, such as, WCDMA pilot pollution, GSM co-channel/ adjacent channel interference and GSM/ WCDMA missing neighbor detection. These enhanced capabilities help to save time and money and provide additional value added information also to benchmarking campaigns. Furthermore, significant cost savings can be realized by bundling the data collection solution with a post-processing solution as Anites comprehensive post-processing solution, Nemo Analyze. The Nemo Invex system differs from other solutions by adding PC-based modules running Microsoft operating systems that support the attached test devices. In a practical sense, this means that each Universal Interface Controller (UIC) module within the chassis acts as its own computer. The Nemo Invex chassis offers other improvements besides its modular upgrades. For example, the system integrates all Ethernet communications over the backplane, thereby eliminating interconnect cabling. The chassis also improves supervisory control over each module, enabling individual reset. Finally, the Nemo Invex system provides support for up to ten modules. Both adaptable and expandable, Nemo Invex allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple networks, and provides the flexibility needed to accommodate future high-speed data devices. Smart power supply features and a battery backup provide smooth, uninterrupted service for the chassis.

PREPARATION FOR USE

This chapter explains the precautions needed when opening and unpacking Nemo Invex system components. In addition, this chapter discusses the unpacking and inspecting of individual pieces, as well the operating requirements for the external power supply and external computer.

PRECAUTIONS
Shock Hazard
Use only the Anite-approved power supply. Use of any other supply may cause irreparabale damage or injury. Any use of non-authorized supplies will immediately void the warranty. As the Nemo Invex hardware is powered using the test vehicles power supply, shock hazards, although minimal do exist. To minimize this risk, when replacing the fuse in the automotive adapter cord, be sure to use an exact replacement with the correct rating and type.

Static-Sensitive Components
This unit includes integral static discharge protection devices. However, as with any electronic equipment, care should be taken not to touch connector pins directly. There are no user-serviceable components inside the basic chassis. However, plug-in modules can be replaced in the field.

UNPACKING AND INSPECTING

All equipment is packaged in a single-shock, vibration-protected enclosure. Examine the carton for signs of damage. If the carton appears to be damaged, do not open the box; contact the shipping agent for information. Open the carton, and carefully remove each item. Compare all items received with the packing slip, to ensure that the order is complete. Examine each item for physical damage, and make note of any damages observed. If any equipment or manuals are missing, contact Anite Finland immediately.

NEM O I NVE X

POWER REQUIREMENTS
The Nemo Invex chassis is powered by 10 to 16 Volts, DC. AC power can be used by attaching an optional power supply. If used, the AC power supply is designed to work with 120/ 240VAC 50/60Hz line input. For any other voltages or line frequencies, contact Anite to identify the correct supply. Note that wiring directly to the battery with the DC cable is the preferred connection method for systems that will have a large number of test devices. Alternatively the optional AC supply is acceptable in vehicles with a properly rated inverter.

DC Power Cable
The chassis is shipped with a DC cable, fuse holder, and fuse. The cable is shipped unterminated so that the user can cut it to length and install the fuse near the vehicle battery. The user must crimp the fuse assembly together and add battery terminals. A crimp tool is required for connecting the terminals to the wire. This tool can be purchased at most automotive stores or at any wiring or electrical equipment retailer.

Figure 1. Nemo Invex DC Power Cable (499082-11) Connect one side of the fuse holder to the Red wire of the Nemo Invex DC cable, and connect the other side of the fuse holder to a short 10-gauge or larger wire connected directly to the vehicles positive battery terminal. Connect the black wire of the DC cable to a good vehicle grounding location. The chassis fuse is a Littlefuse 0314030.HXP or equiv. 30 AMP Fast Acting, 3AB. Install an equivilently rated fuse in the DC cable fuse holder. Caution! Once your wiring is complete, test the DC power connector with a voltmeter to confirm that Pin 2 is positive with respect to Pin 9 BEFORE connecting the cable to the chassis (see diagram in Chapter 3: Basic Chassis).

*Picture of new supply not yet available

Cigarette Lighter Adapter

The included cigarette lighter adapter accessory is available to provide a low power vehicle DC power connection. The current rating (8 amps) for this type of connection and the current requirement for the chassis configuration (which depends on the number of modules attached) should be checked before using the cigarette lighter adapter. Also keep in mind that the DC loss through this type of connection can vary greatly, depending on the cleanliness of the connection. Note the cable uses a 10 amp slow blow fuse that is located in the tip of the cigarette lighter plug.

Figure 3. Cigarette Adaptor Cable (499082-12)

Caution! Excessive DC loss can cause connection heating and voltage drops below 10 volts. This can result in poor/intermittent operation.

INSTALLATION
The Nemo Invex platform is well suited to either permenant or temporary installation. It is recommended that all vehicles that may be used with Nemo Invex be fitted with high quality power and RF connections. In addition proper mounting of the equipment is necessary for both safety and performance reasons.

Mounting Brackets
The Nemo Invex chassis is fitted with mounting holes to accommodate: 1. Mounting the chassis in the vehicle with Hold Down Brackets (100800-06), shown as Lbrackets below, to screw the chassis to the floor of the vehicle. 2. Mount two chassis together with a Tie Plate (100800-07). For instance an active and passive chassis. 3. Mount 1 or 2 scanners on the Universal Scanner Mounting Tray (100800-08)above the chassis. The diagram below shows the above brackets in use. Note that both hard mounting and strapping the chassis to the vehicle are acceptable methods to install the hardware platform.

Figure 4. Chassis Mounting Sketch Clearance for air ventilation around the Invex chassis is as follows: Back Sides Front 10 cm 3 cm 10 cm

Note that the air intake is from the bottom of the chassis so it is critical that the unit is not mounted on carpet or other material that will limit airflow.

CHASSIS
This chapter identifies and explains the various components of the Nemo Invex chassis, such as the chassis, backplane, battery, and DC/DC converter.

ACTIVE CHASSIS FRAME

The Nemo Invex chassis is designed to function as either a fixed or mobile unit. The unit measures 17.55 cm (H) x 40.18 cm (W) x 45.34 cm (D). In addition to the System Interface (SI) module the chassis has 12 single width module slots available. The first 10 slots on the right of the SI are active and last 2 slots are passive slots. The active slots have backplane connectors to accept Universal Interface Controllers (UICs). Note that any slots not utilized for UICs are available for use by USB and or handset isolation modules (requires two slots). Example: 3 USB data devices and 3 handsets in isolation modules would fully load the chassis. 3 (UICs) + 3 (USB iso) + 3*2 (HS iso) = 12 slots The Nemo Invex chassis integrates the backplane, power supply, battery and management system into a robust platform optimized for demanding mobile data collection.

Figure 5. Chassis Parts Please note that it is absolutely required that a UIC module be present in slot 0 of the Nemo Invex chassis. The slots in the chassis are numbered from 0 to 9. Slot 0 is the one next to the SI module and the UIC in slot 0 communicates with the backplane processor and with the other UIC modules. In particular, when the chassis is being shut down, it is via UIC0 that the other UICs1-9 receive the command to stop logging and shut down.

NEM O I NVE X

13

If UIC0 is missing, it is possible that other UIC modules will boot and run the measurement server but they will never get any messages from the backplane or UIC0 and, therefore, will not shut down. When the user turns off the rear-panel switch, the backplane waits for all UICs to send a message that they have powered down. It will not receive such messages if UIC0 is not present, and will ultimately remove power after some minutes even if it does not get confirmation that all UICs have shut down. This results in a hard shutdown, which can damage the disk drive of the UIC.

CHASSIS BACKPLANE
From a practical standpoint, the chassis backplane integrates the systems communications and control functions together. Specifically, the backplane maintains the following operations: 1. Provides the Gigabit Ethernet switch and connectivity to all the modules communicating with the Nemo Invex software application on the laptop. 2. Includes the power supply and primary control for: Module reset and shutdown management Battery charging and use management Fan control Temperature, current, and voltage monitoring

3. Enables 1 pulse-per-second (pps) distribution for GPS functions 4. Provides serial communications distribution

Figure 6. Backplane Diagram Showing Functions and Slot Arrangement

PASSIVE CHASSIS
The passive chassis is equivalent to the the active chassis physically but does not contain the backplane and active circuitry to support UIC modules. Rather it is intended to house isolation modules in a secure manner and to cool the modules by pulling ambient air from the filtered opening on the bottom of the chassis and exhausting it through the fan on the back of the chassis.

BATTERY LIFE AND POWER MANAGEMENT

The Nemo Invex chassis power supply and power management system ensure that the data collection platform will operate reliably in difficult vehicle situations. Obviously the vehicle must have a sound battery and alternator to support the collection platform, however often issues like voltage transients or loose wires will create havoc with computer based equipment. The Nemo Invex platform combines an internal battery with a boost regulator into a Uninteruptable Power Supply (UPS). The battery is designed to run the platform for a period of time that allows graceful shutdown in the event that primary power is lost, preserving the data that has been collected and the integrity of the platform itself. Proper shutdown procedures are followed to protect the integrity of the collected data file. If the power is suddenly removed from the embedded controller (without a UPS), the file system could become corrupt, unstable, or even unreadable. Therefore, to make certain that the embedded PCs have enough time to shut down, a backup battery is used. The battery is a 12.8V 7Ah, chosen because of its inherent safety, high energy density and ability to deliver very high current for just such a scenario as described above. A fully loaded Nemo Invex system with test devices can draw nominally 20A. If the external power is interrupted, then the backup battery will supply the system with energy. If the interruption is short (less than one minute), the system will continue to operate normally under battery power. If the external power interruption lasts longer than one minute, the shutdown process will be triggered. Assuming a 20A drain, the battery could supply the chassis for up to 15 minutes, enough time for safe shutdown of the UICs.

NEM O I NVE X

DC/DC Converter
The DC/DC Converter provides regulated system voltages from a nominal +13.6 VDC (10V-16V) input. It is mounted on the inside-back panel of the chassis. Short wires connect the power supply to the backplane. The backplane, in turn, distributes power to the various modules. The voltage outputs provided by this unit are 13.6 volts (unregulated), 3.3 volts, 5 volts, and 6.5 volts. The +13.6 V input is fused, filtered, transient protected, and switched before distribution on the backplane. The fan is also powered from this output. The main 3.3 volt DC/DC converter provides the majority of the units required power and is attached to a heat sink on the back panel. The 5 volt and 6.5 volt outputs are used for special low current applications. See the General Chassis Specification Table on page 15 for maximum power ratings. A PIC processor is incorporated on the converter assembly to provide the following supervisory functions: Input voltage and current Low input voltage shutdown Output voltage monitor Unit temperature Fan control Power supply rating identification Remote power on Remote battery back-up controle

Status messages are sent from this processor to the embedded controller via a serial link. See the specification table for monitor/control detail. The input connector located on the back panel provides main input voltage connections, remote power supply type (rating) identification, remote battery backup monitoring, remote battery back-up control, and remote on/off switch control. The figure below indicates the pin out: PIN 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Description External Power Sense Input Positive 10-16 Volt Main Input External Battery Voltage Sense Input UPS Enable Output Signal Ground Signal Ground External Supply ID Sense Remote Power Switch Input Main Input Ground Not Used

Power Supply Turn on Conditions

The power supply will NOT turn on if: Input voltage > 16 Volts Input voltage < 10 Volts:

16

Nemo I nve x C hass is Har dw ar e M anua l

If the supply last turned off due to low input voltage, it will not turn back on until the input voltage is greater than or equal to 12 volts, or if a power switch is toggled on.

See the Serious Error and Restart topic below for other turn-on limitations.

Power Supply Emergency Turn off Conditions

Power Supply Warning Conditions

The power supply will issue a warning (while turned on) if: Input current > supply capacity (warning every 1 second) Input voltage < 10.5 Volts Input voltage > 16.0 Volts (warning every 1 second) (warning every 1 second)

Power Supply Auto Shutdown Conditions

Auto shutdown will be initiated if: Input voltage < 9.5 Volts Input voltage > 17.0 Volts

17

Power Supply Serious Error Conditions and Restarting

Once a serious error such as any of the emergency turn off conditions (other than for low voltage) occurs, the supply will NOT automatically turn back on. The Power must be cycled or a power switch (main or remote) must be switched off then on.

Power Supply Fan Function

Once a connection to the Nemo Invex software application is completed the fans will function according to the following thresholds: Fans on at 35 degrees Celsius Fans off at 30 degrees Celsius

Note: Fans may shutdown when a connection to the Nemo Invex software application is completed. This is normal, and the fans will restart when internal chassis temperature reaches 35 degrees C.

NEMO INVEX MODULES

This chapter identifies the various modules and systems that can be housed in the Nemo Invex chassis, including the Universal Interface Module, System Interface Module, USB Isolation Module, and Headset Isolation Module.

UNIVERSAL INTERFACE CONTROLLER MODULE

The Universal Interface Controller Module (UIC) is the primary component of the Nemo Invex measurement system. The UIC is a PC-based assembly utilizing Microsoft Embedded 7. Each module supports simultaneous interfacing for two USB devices, such as a handset and/or data modem (however, only one high speed data modem can be used per UIC module). Local mode operation is possible for troubleshooting via keyboard and monitor connections.

SYSTEM INTERFACE MODULE

Each Nemo Invex chassis contains a system interface module. The SI module houses the embedded GPS unit and antenna connections, in addition to two RJ-45 plugs providing 1Gbit Ethernet connections. For more information on the SI module with optional DR kit, please refer to page 25. The SI module provides a splitter with amplification to distribute GPS antenna signal to an optional external digital scanner. The GPS receiver conforms to Datum WGS84 and maintains an accuracy of 2.5 M or better at altitudes up to 5000 M above sea level. The Nemo Invex system maintains accurate time measurements when collecting data. Even if the unit loses its GPS signal, the reported time will synchronize for as long as the unit maintains a network connection. By default, the device checks with the network every five minutes

SI Module: GPS Unit and Time Calibration

The Nemo Invex System Interface (SI) module serves two key purposes. First, it provides the Ethernet connections to the chassis backplane hub. The module houses two gigabit ports, one for the user interface, and the other for adding an Ethernet connected scanner. The SI module also contains the GPS unit. The GPS system is based on the UBLOX 6 receiver. UBLOX 6 performance specifications:

Every Nemo Invex system must hold a Universal Interface Controller Module in the first user slot. This UIC is responsible for controlling GPS functions, and reporting GPS status. The GPS NMEA messages and 1pps time pulse are, in turn, routed from the SI card to every UIC connected to the chassis. Each UIC uses this GPS information to accurately set the PC clock. It is critical for the Nemo Invex platform or any accurate network measurement system to provide precise time information, so that accurate data can be collected, particularly in regard to Voice Quality.

HANDSET ISOLATION MODULE

The Handset Isolation modules provide approximately 50 dB of isolation for a wide range of supported handsets for voice or data testing. The module features a high-quality machined aluminum case with 2 SMA antenna ports, a USB 2.0 connection and an auxhiliary power port. USB and power are supplied to the handset isolation module from the UIC. Cable sets for specific phone models are required. The module occupies two slots in the Nemo Invex chassis.

Figure 10. Handset Isolation Module (100820-xx, extension varies by device supported) A key feature is that device power can be independently switched allowing recovery from all recoverable issues. Additional features include an internal audio soundcard, temperature sensor, data storage, EEPROM and Flash memory. The USB-A connector inside the module is currently unused, in the future it could be connected to a Bluetooth audio link or USB data card

For a handset to be supported in the Handset Isolation Module a custom cable set must first be created. This cable set includes 1) handset connector (USB or proprietary) 2) battery eliminator (BE) 3) RF cable(s) for the handset antenna and 4) audio cable. The cable set is typically unique to a handset and the user must set DIP switches to identify to the software what handset / cable set is installed. The cable set is user / field installable with proper tools and care. The handset and BE are secured in the housing with a Velcro strap and elastomer mounting pad.

NEM O I NVE X

23

Once operational the software queries the handset module to see what device is installed and what type of BE is in use. The HS isolation module supports both the new low voltage type BE and legacy BEs that ran off of a higher voltage and have onboard regulators. Note the connectors are all unique, polarized and and fully shrouded so that the user will not be able to accidentally or unknowingly plug intermix high voltage and low voltage eliminators with the wrong type of cable set. Providing low voltage to a high voltage eliminator will not cause any harm, but providing high voltage to a low voltage eliminator could destroy any attached handset, so the Isolation module will always read the BE type (high/low) before applying voltage. This will eliminate the possibility of destroying hardware because of an improperly configured DIP switch. The initialization routine will start the handset and also set the audio play and record gain levels. Once this is accomplished, the handset is released and made available for Outdoor

MODEM ISOLATION MODULE

The Modem Isolation module provides RF isolation for USB modems with 2 antenna ports and USB connectivity. The module provides secure mounting for the USB modem using an adjustable mounting bracket that works in conjunction with a cushioned pad to hold the modem firmly in place. The modem plugs into the USB Type A connector located at the rear of the module, while The front panel provides both USB Type B and antenna (SMA(F) type coaxial) connections. The module occupies one slot in the Nemo Invex chassis.

MODULE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
This chapter explains the general process for removing and adding modules to the Nemo Invex system. The chassis contains 10 primary slot positions. Caution! Empty module positions require blank covers To provide proper cooling air flow across all modules, empty slots must be covered using blank panel assemblies. The part numbers for blank panel assemblies vary by size and can be purchased from Anite.

MODULE INSTALLATION
Caution! Modules are electrostatic sensitive. Even a small electrostatic discharge could damage the module. A damaged module might not fail immediately, but over time will become worse, possibly causing an intermittent problem. Be very careful to handle the boards ONLY by the edges. DO NOT touch the connectors or components on the board. Leave the modules in the antistatic bag until ready for installation. 1. Turn power switch on unit to the off position but leave power connected. 2. Touch the metal chassis case to discharge any possible static charge. 3. Carefully remove the module from the antistatic bag. Keep body movement to a minimum as the modules are handled. 4. Install module into the desired slot by carefully pressing until fully seated. 5. Tighten hold down screws.

SI MODULE W ITH DR (OPTIONAL)

Dead Reckoning (DR) provides GPS positioning in locations where GPS data is missing or the signal is weak. In dead reckoning, positioning data is calculated based on speed, heading, and direction. The Nemo Invex SI module incorporates LEA-6R u-blox 6 GPS modules with Sensor Fusion Dead Reckoning (SFDR). Accelerometers are located inside the SI module. Average accuracy is better than 5% and position is given as an average of the GPS and the external wheel sensor. The optional GPS Dead Reckoning Kit (100820-17) includes the following parts: Nemo Invex DR- Input Module, 499082-58 (AN000024.G1) Interconnect cable WN000037 DR Cable Kit WN000047

INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Note that it is imperative that the Nemo Invex chassis is fixed with screws in your vehicle if dead reckoning is used. The installation of the GPS DR unit varies from car to car. It is recommended that you go to a local car dealership and ask help with connecting the cables and locating the speed pulse signal for your car. Alternatively, find a service that installs taximeters and ask them to do the GPS DR unit installation for you. The speedpulse signal required for DR modules must have a frequency range from 1 Hz to 2kHz (0 Hz is equal to a speed of 0 km/hour) and must be linear to the driven speed. Non-linearity of the speedpulse signal (e.g. speed dead band: no pulses below a certain speed limit), may lead to wrong direction calculation and therefore wrong positioning. If the pulse frequency is below the minimum frequency (1Hz), speed will be set to 0 m/s and the position output is frozen at the last known position. The direction signal indicates whether the vehicle is moving forward or backward. If the signal is high, it indicates forward driving, but it can be configured vice-versa using UBXCFG (Config) EKF (EKF Settings). It is recommended to use a direction indicator for best DR performance. If no direction signal is available, the direction must be set to forward by configuring the meaning of the direction pin appropriately, otherwise DR positioning will be incorrect due to the wrong direction. GPS only navigation is not affected by this configuration. As the forward/backward direction signal is not available in all cars, try to make use of the reverse gear light.(LEA-6R Application Note).

HARDWARE
The DR system is designed to use the speed information and backup light information from a car, combine this with a MEMs gyro to give speed and heading information when GPS is lost. Before the system will work, it must be connected to a car. All newer cars use digital speed control. This is different for each car. Choose the car/van you are going to use and then access the VSS (vehicle speed sensor). On the input module of the SI, there is a set of screw terminals, a dip switch and two LEDs.

There are four pins on the screw terminal: 1 - VSS negative 2 - VSS positive 3 - Backup signal positive 4 - Ground Connect the VSS positive to the VSS signal and the VSS negative to the closest ground. The ground can be the chassis or a screw holding down the sensor/computer. Connect the backup signal the same way. The dip switch settings are: 1 - VSS enable (should be left on at all times) 2 - 6 unused 7 - Backup signal 8 - Backup signal inverted NOTE: Switches 7 and 8 should never be on together. This can cause instability and erroneous readings. Once the hardware is installed do a quick check. Start the engine and turn the system on. Once the mainframe has started, look at the two LEDs on the interface module. One is marked FORWARD and the other SPEED.

When the car is not moving, the SPEED led should be off. When the car is moving forward, the FOREWARD led should be on. If not, switch 7 and 8. Now the led should be on. Put the car in reverse and the led should switch off (assuming you connected Pin 3 on the screw terminal). Now drive forward approximately at the speed of 3 km/h (2 mph). The Speed led should blink slowly. When you stop, the led should go off. The led has a 0.1 sec on time per pulse, so when the car is moving 15 km/h (10 mph) and faster, the led will stay on. If the led ever goes off and stays off while you are moving, there is a problem.

INSTALLING DRIVER AND U-CENTER APPLICATION

Please refer to the USBSensorDriverForWindows7(GPS-SW-09012).pdf document (Chapter 3) available on the Nemo Invex product DVD for instructions on installing the drivers on the Nemo Invex laptop. After installing the drivers, install the U-Center application on the Nemo Invex laptop. Run the ucenterSetup-6.3.1.0.exe file found on the Nemo Invex product DVD and follow the instructions on screen. Once the drivers and the U-Center program have been installed, connect a USB to mini USB cable from the PC to the UBLOX module. Under Device Manager on the PC you should see a virtual serial port.

Start the U-Center program, open Receiver, Port and select the virtual COM port. At the bottom of the screen, there is a serial port symbol. It should show it is connected and should blink green when data is transferred.

DR CALIBRATION
Note that you must have good satellite coverage for the calibration to start. When calibrating the unit, start the Nemo Invex mainframe, but do not start Nemo Outdoor. When the USB cable is connected to the SI and U-Center is started, it takes over control of the GPS system. When the USB cable is disconnected, the GPS system will not give the correct messages for Nemo Outdoor to run properly. Open the U-Center application and open the Configuration view by clicking the Configuration View button in the toolbar.

28

Select EKF from the list on the left to view the EKF settings.

EKF Enabled should be selected at all times. To clear old information and start a new calibration, select the Clear Calibration Data option then press Send at the bottom of the Configuration view. This is needed only when you first put a system in a vehicle or if you do a major position change on the mainframe, such as, a 90Deg shift. Set the Gyro axis to Counterclockwise Set the Direction Pin Polarity to High Forward. Finally press Send.

Now open the Messages view by clicking the Message View button in the toolbar.

First select UBX ESF MEAS from the list on the left.

The 10-Single Tick value should increase as the car moves. If the LED blinks when the car moves, and the Single Tick value does not change, then there is a hardware problem. Similarly, the Gyro Z value should change as you turn left or right. Temperature will change with temperature. Then select UBX NAV EKFSTATUS.

Once you get a good GPS signal and start driving, this screen will show how well the system is calibrated. The scale factor will calibrate first. You must drive for 1 to 3 kilometers (1 to 2 miles) without sharp turns for this to calibrate. Once the Scale Factor Ticks is above 80%, the Gyro and Bias will start to calibrate. This may take 8 to 15 kilometers (5 to 10 miles). You need to make several turns during this time period. After all three values, Scale Factor Ticks, Scale Factor Gyro, and Bias Gyro are above 80%, the DR system will start to work. You can remove the antenna and you should still get GPS information. Disconnect U-Center, remove the USB cable, and turn the Nemo Invex mainframe off. The system is now ready for normal use. However, if the U-Center program is used at any point, the Nemo Invex mainframe must be shut down and re-started when the U-Center program is disconnected. In short, you need to 1. Start the Nemo Invex mainframe, but not Nemo Outdoor. 2. Connect the USB cable and start U-Center. 3. Reset the EKF system. 4. Run the calibration, look at the % calibration message. When all parameters are above 95%, the unit is calibrated. 5. Disconnect U-Center and remove the USB cable. 6. Turn the Nemo Invex mainframe off.
