Abstract: A method of performing real-time position sensing includes conveying a tool attached to a tubular string in a borehole. The tool includes a position sensing sub, and the position sensing sub includes sensing devices. The method further includes recording measurements taken by the sensing devices. The method further includes determining based on the measurements, a position along the borehole of a particular portion of the tubular string. Data from sensing devices having a higher priority overrides collecting data from sensing devices having a lower priority. The method further includes transmitting the position wirelessly.
