2 Overview 2.1 Introduction This chapter describes the AgGPS 332 receiver and gives an overview of GPS, DGPS, and related information. The AgGPS 332 receiver combines high-performance GPS reception with a DGPS-capable receiver in a lightweight, durable housing. The AgGPS 332 receiver also contains the ultimate choice in technology enabling WAAS/EGNOS, OmniSTAR, or Coast Guard Beacon Tower real-time differential capabilities. When used with a Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) base statio

Overview 2 21.1 Standard Features A standard AgGPS 332 receiver provides the following features: • 10 Hz (10 positions per second) output rate • 12 GPS (C/A-code, L1and L2) tracking channels, code carrier channels • Submeter differential accuracy (RMS), assuming at least five satellites and a PDOP (Position Dilution of Precision) of less than 1 four (when used with SBAS correction) • LED display • Outputs a 1 PPS (pulse per second) strobe signal on both ports. This signal enables an ext

2 Overview 2.2 Receiver Connections Figure 2.1 shows the connector ports on the AgGPS 332 receiver. Figure 2.1 AgGPS 332 receiver connector ports The two connectors (Port A and Port B) can perform the following functions: • accept power • accept TSIP, RTCM, ASCII, and (if enabled) CMR inputs • output RTCM, TSIP, and NMEA messages • output 1 PPS signals • provide support for the J1939 (CAN) serial bus For more information about the inputs, outputs, and LCD display, see the information in t

Overview 2 2.3 Receiver Input/Output The AgGPS 332 receiver data/power cable (P/N 30945) connects to a receiver connector port to supply power. It also enables the following data exchanges: • TSIP, RTCM, and ASCII input from an external device The receiver is able to receive ASCII data from an external device, convert this data into an NMEA message, and export the message to another device. TSIP command packets configure and monitor GPS and DGPS parameters. The receiver is also able to

2 Overview • 1 PPS output To synchronize timing between external instruments and the internal clock in the receiver, the connection port outputs a strobe signal at 1 PPS (pulse per second). To output this signal, the receiver must be tracking satellites and computing GPS positions. • J1939 (CAN) bus Both connection ports on the receiver support the J1939 Controller Area Network (CAN) bus protocol. This protocol standardizes the way multiple microprocessor-based electronic control unit

Overview 2 2.4 GPS Positioning Methods GPS positioning systems are used in different ways to provide different levels of accuracy. Accuracy is measured in absolute terms (you know exactly where you are in a fixed reference frame). Table 2.1 summarizes the GPS positioning methods. Imperial units in this table are rounded to two decimal places. The values shown are 2sigma.

2 Overview A transmitter in the base station sends the corrections through a radio link to the rover radio, which sends the corrections to the AgGPS 332 receiver. The rover receiver uses RTK corrections from the base station to calculate its position to centimeter-level accuracy. As part of this process, the rover receiver must calculate an initialization. This takes a few seconds. While the receiver is initializing, an RTK Float solution is generated. Once initialized, an RTK Fixed so
