Tracker 650 Startup

Last updated 5 hours ago

The Tracker 650 boots quickly upon power-up and is ready to go. It takes 10 to 15 seconds before the Tracker 650 is cycling. It does not require any external system interaction to cycle.

Once cycling, the Tracker 650 can send any of its NMEA-like messages, such as $DVPDL, $DVPX, and $DVKFC. None of these messages are used or needed for the Omnitrack function , and you can safely turn them off to reduce network traffic, using one of the systems

Once cycling, the Tracker 650 checks to see if it is configured to send information to an ROV using its . By default, the answer is "yes." The Tracker 650 will begin checking to see if the ROV's MAVLink server is on the network using the address you configured. Once the MAVLink server is detected, the Tracker 650 will establish a communication channel and begin sending odometry data through the MAVLink server.

If the communication channel is interrupted, for example by rebooting the MAVLink server, the Tracker 650 will go back to checking for the server and will re-establish the communication channel when detected.
