Geolux LX-80-AB

Caution

The Sensor may be connected/disconnected only when the system is powered off.

Attach the Universal Heavy Payload mount to the bottom of your drone.
Attach the sensor to the Universal Heavy Payload mount.
Connect the data cable to the SkyHub Connector #4.
Connect the power cable to the SkyHub power-in connector #6.

Power on the system.

Establish either the drone link or auxiliary connection with the SkyHub in the UgCS-CPM software.
On the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click on the “Payloads” button.
From the available payload list, enable the “Geolux LX-80-AB”.
Press the “Save” button and confirm system reload.

Wait until the reload process is finished and the connection to the SkyHub is reestablished.

On the main screen of the UgCS-CPM, click the “Start” button.
From the drop-down widget list, select the “Geolux LX-80-AB” and press the blue “plus” button.
To access the configuration menu, press the “three-dot” icon in the upper right corner of the widget and select “Settings”.

Data file format

Column name	Data sample	Description
Date	2022/10/13	GPS data
Time	09:48:28.703	GPS time with milliseconds
Sensor ID	0	Sensor instance number
Latitude	56.93033160	Lattitude from GPR receiver, precision 8 digitsIf the drone is in RTK mode, RTK coordinates should be logged.
Longitude	23.92034934	Lattitude from GPR receiver, precision 8 digitsIf the drone is in RTK mode, RTK coordinates should be logged.The coordinate is calculated for a particular sensor using OFFSET_FORWARD/OFFSET_RIGHT parameters.
Heading	127.33	Heading angle received from the drone
Altitude RTK	36.11	Altitude above WGS84 ellipsoid. It should be RTK altitude (in RTK mode) or GNSS altitude without RTK.
Altitude AGL	1.99	Altitude relative to the ground surface, from altimeter, specified by the ALTITUDE_SOURCE parameter.
LX:Distance	1.9303	The average distance between the instrument and the water surface, as measured by theinstrument. Value in meters
LX:Temperature	50.0	The internal temperature of the instrument.
LX:SNR	2.2	Signal to Noise Ratio of the detected signal. SNR is the difference between signal levelcorresponding to measured distance and the noise floor level.
LX:SD	0.65	The standard deviation of water level measurements.
LX:TiltX	0.28	The tilt angle of the instrument along X axis. For proper operation of theinstrument, ensure that this angle is zero, or as close to zero as possible(between -1 and +1 degrees).Reported in $ANG sentence, field A1.
LX:TiltY	0.35	The tilt angle of the instrument along Y axis. For proper operation of theinstrument ensure that this angle is zero, or as close to zero as possible(between -1 and +1 degrees).Reported in $ANG sentence, field A2.
LX:Trace	2222	SEG-Y trace number if we log SEG-Y file
