Decoding Notes

Driver will only decode if format specification as described above is met. 
Each observation quality will be 1 when mode is 'T' (true), or -1 when mode is 'E' (error). It will be 0 (zero) if the decoded observation value is out of range.


Database Setup

To decode the machine pitch and roll information, add a 'Pitch Roll Heave Sensor' system. Select driver "Jan de Nul eDigger (Pitch-Roll)" and set the correct serial port number and communication parameters. Notice that there is no heave to decode.

To decode the five angles (plus the two spare ones) add a 'Rotation Angle Sensor' system (same port and communication parameters as above), select driver "Jan de Nul eDigger (Angles)" and add the five (or seven) observations.
Use the following table with Slot Ids to identify each angle. Set units to degrees.

Slot Id

Decoded field

Observation Type

BOOM1

Angle of first boom

Rotation (X)

BOOM2

Angle of second boom (if present)

Rotation (X)

STICK

Stick angle

Rotation (X)

BUCKET

Bucket angle

Rotation (X)

SLEWSENSOR

Angle of slew sensor (if present)

Rotation (Z)

SPARE1

Spare Slot 1

Rotation (X, Y or Z)

SPARE2

Spare Slot 2

Rotation (X, Y or Z)


The Slot Ids are case-sensitive.

To decode all fields generically, add a 'Miscellaneous' system (same port and communication parameters as above), select driver "Jan de Nul eDigger (Fields)" and on the next wizard page add for each required field a generic observation.
Use the following table with Slot Ids to identify each field.

Slot Id

Decoded field

FIELD02

Pitch

FIELD04

Roll

FIELD06

Angle of first boom

FIELD08

Angle of second boom (if present)

FIELD10

Stick angle

FIELD12

Bucket angle

FIELD14

Angle of slew sensor (if present)

FIELD16

Spare Slot 1

FIELD18

Spare Slot 2


The Slot Ids are case-sensitive.
