1.0 PREFACE The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigation system operated and maintained by the U.S. Government. The GPS consists of a constellation of 24 satellites providing world-wide, 24 hour, three dimensional (3-D) coverage. GPS applications include military, surveying, marine, land, aviation, and vehicle navigation. GPS is the most accurate technology available for vehicle navigation/location. Since GPS is a satellite based system, it is immune to the li

acquires a position fix with minimal delay after power cycling. The following information is necessary to help decrease the time to track satellites after power-up and is stored in RAM when backup power is provided: • Almanac • Ephemeris • Real-time clock • Last position User settings, including port parameters and receiver processing options, can be stored in non-volatile electrically erasable (EEPROM) that does not require power. The SV12 GPS Receiver has two independently conf

TAIP TAIP is an easy-to-use ASCII protocol developed by Trimble for vehicle tracking. The user can set up polling schemes and mark GPS messages with unique identifiers. The TAIP messages and output rates are user selectable and can be configured to operate on either Port 1 or Port 2. NMEA 0183 NMEA 0183 is an industry standard protocol common to marine applications. NMEA provides direct compatibility with other NMEA-capable devices such as chart plotters, radars, etc. The SV12 GPS

earth. Trimble’s active antennas include a preamplifier that filters and amplifies the GPS signals before delivery to the receiver. There are two GPS antennas offered by Coleman Technologies, Inc. (1) magnetic mount rd antenna and (2) bullet antenna. Equivalent antennas are available through 3 party vendors, for example Tessco at www.tessco.com. One needs to choose an active antenna which is either a 3v, 3.3v or 3/5v antenna. Warning – When magnetic-mount or permanent-mount GPS ante

2. Connect the antenna cable to the receiver. Push the connector onto the MCX connector on the receiver. To remove the antenna cable, pull the antenna connector off of the MCX connector. 3. Place the antenna so that it has a clear view of the sky. 4. Using the DC power cable, connect to the 3-pin power connector on the receiver. Connect the terminated end of the power cable to the power connector on the receiver. Connect the red lead to the DC positive voltage (+9 to +32 VDC) and

Note – 3.0 V is the minimum allowable voltage for battery backup. When the power output drops below 3.0 V, the real-time clock may not operate over the specified full temperature range and this can significantly extend the time to first fix. Power requirements are listed in Table 3.1.1-1 Table 3.1.1-1 Power Requirements Signal Voltage Current o Battery Backup +3.0 to 12 0 µA with prime power; 20 µA @ 3.3 V, 25 C without prime power Ground 0 - VCC +9 to 32 25mA typ @ 12V 3.1.2

TSIP is a binary language with a wide variety of commands and reports. TSIP reports can be output automatically, or they can be output as responses to queries. The format of the automatic reports can be e
