How to Choose LinkTrack UWB Positioning System?
1. Familiar with the product:
Users need to read product manual and visit the link www.nooploop.com to be familiar with the product. Learn about the various LinkTrack models in advance. The same hardware supports three running modes LP, DR, and DT, and supports basic features such as tag, base station, and console roles.

2. Usage Scenarios:
Clarify the application scenarios and operating modes that need to be used.

If you need to achieve single-zone positioning (such as a single room, stadium, football field, etc.), use LP Mode. Generally, the minimum positioning system contains 4 base stations, and the number of tags is the same as the object to be located. At the same time, 1 console can be added to release more Multifunction.

If you need to achieve mutual distance measurement between 3 points: use DR Mode and purchase 3 LinkTrack modules. If you only need to achieve two-way digital communication between two modules: you can use DT Mode and purchase two LinkTrack modules.

3. Choose Models:
Model selection mainly considers communication distance, communication frequency band, size and weight.

Communication Distance: The distance of each model may be different. For scenarios with high reliability requirements, it is generally recommended to use a distance not exceeding half of the communication distance. For example, for a single area positioning scenario with 4 base stations in LP Mode, using the diagonal as the distance calculation, LTS is recommended to be used within 25*25 meters, LTP is recommended to be used within 200*200 meters, and LTPS is recommended to be used within 120*120 meters.

Communication Frequency Band: LTS and LTSS communication frequency bands are the same, LTP and LTPS communication frequency bands are the same, so in general, LTS and LTSS can be mixed, LTP and LTPS can be mixed, LTS/LTSS and LTP/LTPS are generally not mixed (please comply with local radio regulations).

Size and Weight: LTS/LTP are equipped with a shell, which is easy to install, protects the circuit, and is more beautiful and generous. LTS S/LTPS is a simplified version, which is more suitable for integration. For example, for an application that needs to fly in formation of 8 UAVs within a range of 10*10 meters, the load of the UAV is 10g. At this time, 8 LTSS can be selected for the tag, and 4 LTS can be selected for the base station for easy installation, and 1 LTS or LTSS can be selected for the console.

4. Ready to Use Kit:
The ready-to-use kit is mainly used for new customers to get started quickly. It includes 6 LinkTrack single module versions, 6 suction cups, 4 tripods, and 4 power banks, which can facilitate users to build common scenarios for verification. If the user needs to increase the number of tags, base stations, etc. in the later period, just add the corresponding modules. Through NAssistant configuration, it can be configured as "4 base stations + 2 tags" and "4 base stations + 1 tag + 1 console" when running in LP Mode. In DR Mode, 6 nodes can be configured to measure and communicate with each other at the same time. In DT Mode, it can be configured as "1 master + 5 slaves" mutual digital communication and other collocations.

Description:
LinkTrack is a UWB high-precision positioning system. Through multiple core technologies such as high-precision wireless synchronization and wireless positioning algorithms, the positioning accuracy is higher, the operation is more reliable, and the experience is better. Through continuous innovation, we are committed to providing high-precision, high-reliability, and high-experience positioning solutions for the industry.

LinkTrack supports three operating modes: LP (local positioning), DR (distributed ranging), and DT (digital transmission) to meet the needs of users in more scenarios. The typical positioning accuracy is up to 10cm, the refresh frequency is up to 200Hz, and it supports PNTC (positioning, navigation, timing, and communication in one), making it possible to communicate while positioning. Support one-key calibration, wireless settings, one-key over-the-air upgrade and other functions; at the same time, it is free to authorize the use of multi-function NAssistant PC assistant, which can run on three major operating systems, supports data, waveform, 2D, 3D display, data recording, playback, and export And other functions, greatly reducing the user's threshold for use, making the operation easier and the development efficiency higher.

Features:
LP Mode (Local Positioning Mode):
LP Mode supports simultaneous work of positioning, navigation, timing and communication. The roles are divided into tags, base stations, and consoles.

After the tag measures the distance to the base station and calculates the coordinates, it is output in real time through the communication interface, and the navigation function can be realized after being connected to carriers such as robots and drones. The base station and console simultaneously output all tag positioning information in real time, and the access terminal display platform realizes the positioning (detection) function. While positioning, the tag and the base station/console support two-way digital communication to realize the communication function. Each label output contains the unified system time to realize the synchronization timing function.

The typical 1D, 2D positioning accuracy is 10cm, and the typical 3D positioning accuracy is 30cm. When the positioning frequency is 200Hz, the delay is only 5ms; the base station has a capacity of up to 120, and the tag capacity is opened by default 40, and more applications need to be opened.

DR Mode (Distributed Ranging Mode):
DR Mode supports the integration of ranging, timing, and communication, with only one role as a node. Each node measures the distance to other nodes in real time, and receives data transmitted from other nodes. At the same time, it can also transmit its own data to other nodes through the communication interface to realize ranging and communication functions. The output data content of each node includes a unified system time to realize the synchronization timing function.

The typical ranging accuracy is 10cm, and when the refresh frequency is as high as 200Hz, the delay is only 5ms. Under 10Hz output, the node capacity is up to 50.

DT Mode (Data Transmission Mode):
DT Mode supports three sub-modes: intelligent communication, two-way communication, and broadcast communication. There are master and slave roles in this mode.

High-speed, low-latency wireless data transmission can be achieved in DT Mode. The data transmission bandwidth is up to 3Mbps, and the delay is less than 0.5ms.

One Key Calibration:
For a single area (4 base stations) scenario, after installing the base station, you only need to send a trigger command to any base station or console (which can be operated through NAssistant). Within 30 seconds, the base stations will automatically measure each other's distance and construct the base station coordinates. System and complete the base station coordinate calibration. One-key calibration makes it possible to build a high-precision positioning system within 10 minutes, greatly reducing the installation time and investment cost under traditional manual measurement calibration.

Wireless Operation:
Connect to any base station/console (connect any node in DR Mode) to pass all the LinkTrack nodes in the NAssistant wireless operating system, so as to realize the functions of parameter setting, restart, firmware update and other roles of the base station, tag, console, etc.

In industrial applications, the construction environment is often harsh and the construction cost is high. For example, the base station is installed on the ceiling and other places that are difficult to disassemble. The wireless operation makes on-site installation and debugging, system maintenance, and function upgrades more convenient, which greatly reduces customers' later investment costs.

Fake GPS:
In LP Mode, the tag data output format supports configuration to be output in NMEA-0183 format commonly used with GNSS (GPS, Beidou, etc.), so that users can still obtain simulated GPS positioning through the LinkTrack system under indoor, building shelter, and bad weather environments. information.
