Filter Status

The 3DM-CV7's Estimation Filter reports its status through the Status (0x82,0x10) message. The status message provides two important pieces of information for the user: the current filter state, or mode, and status flags that provide real-time warnings about the filter's condition and its estimates.

The filter status message should be monitored after the Estimation Filter has started running (see Filter Initialization for instructions on starting the filter). The filter state tells the user whether or not the Estimation Filter has initialized to the desired mode. The filter condition bits in the status flags tell the user whether the Estimation Filter is converging, stable or unstable.
