[0081] 5) Open the gyro-stabilized platform control software and click "Communication Settings".
[0082] 6) In the communication settings, select the COM port as COMn in step 4.
[0083] 7) Click “Function Settings”.

[0087] 11) After completing the settings, enter the platform state. When the remote sensing aircraft is about to enter the flight route, click "Open stable platform", the gyro stabilized platform enters the adaptive control state and controls the remote sensing equipment to shoot vertically. At this time, the gyro stabilized platform continues to send gyro coded data to the positioning and orientation system through the COM3 serial port and the pulse per second BNC interface; when the remote sensing aircraft completes the flight route, click "Close stable platform", the gyro stabilized platform returns to the original state and stops controlling the remote sensing equipment.
[0088] 12) After completing all routes according to step 11, close the gyro-stabilized platform control software.
[0089] In view of the apparatus for stabilizing the remote sensing device posture and obtaining its external orientation elements provided in the above embodiment, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a control method for controlling the positioning and orientation system.

[0095] 6) Set the Event trigger rule: Select Positive Edge Trigger.

If the navigation mode is in calibration mode, the IMU status is normal, the GNSS receiver status is normal, the gyro-stabilized platform status is normal, the memory card is in idle state, and the memory card available space is greater than 50%, then the system can be determined to be normal; at this time, the positioning and orientation system continuously sends angular element data to the gyro-stabilized platform through the COM2 serial port.
