The difference is that the primary antenna is simultaneously linked via methods to the antennae in front or behind, and to its side. In the event that both trim and heel must be measured, this negates the need to either use two Slip Angle Sensors or to carry out separate tests
The Three Axis unit uses the same methods to measure pitch, roll and yaw angles as the .
As with the , the Three Axis VBOX can be used as a normal 20Hz VBOX data logger.
Never before has it been so convenient to measure these three parameters in the marine environment. Thanks to careful optimisation of the GPS system, these measurements can be carried out and logged without the need for any additional sensors or equipment.
Utilising a new generation of high performance, multi-antenna GPS engines, it can measure Speed, Acceleration, Position and all 3 attitude angles; Pitch, Roll and Yaw (alternatively known as Trim, Heel and Leeway). Because these angles are measured directly, there is no drift which normally affects inertial systems in this environment.
The Marine Three Axis VBOX Data Logger is designed specifically for the marine testing environment. It features the same three-antenna GPS engine which allows for the simultaneous measurement of pitch, roll and yaw (slip) angles as the , and incorporates a splash proof case, , battery pack, groundplane antennae, and all necessary cabling and connections.

The picture below demonstrates a typical setup, where antenna A is the primary antenna. In this instance antenna C is measuring roll angle, whilst antenna B is measuring both yaw and pitch. The VBOX has been configured with the distance between the antennae, and thanks to this ...
