2 Introduction
The Vision 1000 Configuration Tool is a software application that allows users to quickly and
efficiently configure the Vision 1000. Use the Configuration Tool to adjust and configure the
Vision 1000, view Built in Test (BIT) results, and to download log files from the Vision 1000’s
internal memory. When a Configuration Tool user connects a portable computer (such as a
laptop) to the Vision 1000, he or she will see a real-time configuration display. This display
allows users to know exactly how the images recorded and saved to the Vision 1000’s memory
will display.
The Configuration Tool has four tabs for performing different actions: the Overview tab,
Configure tab, BIT tab, and Download tab. Each of these tabs is described later in the user
guide. The connection status between the Vision 1000 and the Vision 1000 Configuration Tool
is displayed at the top of the screen, along with the serial number of the Vision 1000 the device
is connected to.

7.2 Configure the IMU zero point
Enter the roll and pitch of the aircraft as indicated by the aircraft’s attitude indicator gauge during
configuration of the Vision 1000 in the appropriate fields. Follow the instructions below to
calculate the yaw value.
Figure 11: IMU Zero Point Configuration
Roll refers to how the aircraft is situated
on an imaginary axis through the length of the aircraft. Roll can be measured between -90 and
90 degrees. Roll is positive when the aircraft is tilted to the right, negative when the aircraft is
tilted to the left and zero (0) when the aircraft is perfectly level. Roll is also referred to as bank,
or bank angle.
Figure 12: A helicopter with -20° roll (left) and with 20° roll (right)
Pitch refers to how the aircraft is situated on an imaginary horizontal axis, perpendicular to the
direction of flight. Like roll, pitch always measures between -90 and 90 degrees. Pitch is positive
when the aircraft’s nose is tilted up, negative when the nose points towards the ground and zero
(0) when the aircraft is perfectly level.
Figure 13: A helicopter with 20° pitch (up) and with -20° pitch (down)
600890-000004 Page 19 of 22Vision 1000 Configuration Tool User Guide
Revision 1.17
Date Last Revised: June 8, 2021
Yaw input is the angular offset of the Vision 1000 from the centerline of the airframe, e.g. if the
Vision 1000 is installed and pointed 25 degrees to the right of the centerline of the aircraft, the
input value would be 25. If the Vision 1000 is installed and pointed 25 degrees to the left of the
centerline of the aircraft, the input value would be -25 (as shown in Figure 14). Possible values
for yaw range between -180 and 180 degrees.
Figure 14: Configuring Yaw Offset Angle
If users enter a value outside of the possible range, the field will be outlined in red and an error
message similar to the one shown in Figure 15 will appear, displaying the correct possible value
range. The possible value ranges for roll and pitch are -90 to 90 degrees and between -180 and
180 degrees for yaw.
Figure 15: IMU Zero Point Configuration Error
Once users have entered the roll, pitch, and yaw, click Configure. If the Configure button is not
available (appear grayed out), an IMU Zero Point value is missing.
