sensitivity for weak signals without sacrificing accuracy, AGPS function, DGPS function which is supported by RTCM, WAAS, and EGNOS, and flexibility for system integrations. Because of 8192 frequency search bins at the same time, it accelerates the start-up times of the module. In addition to the above excellent advantages, FV-25 has the capabilities to perform low power consumption due to the advanced hardware components and implement power saving function owing to versatile firmware.

Chapter 2 Start 2.1 Pin Definitions and Reference Layout Figure 2.1 shows the pin definitions of FV-25. Table 2.1 describes the corresponding definitions for pins. Note that only either use VIN-1 (DC 5 ~ 12V) or VIN-2 (DC 3.3V) for voltage input. Also, if the Pins 1 ~ 10 are used, please leave Pins a ~ n being opened. There are two comm. ports to input/output the useful information (i.e. receiver’s and satellites’ data) for the users. The default setting for comm. 1 (either Pins 5 and

2.2 Sanav_Demo Sanav_Demo is required to run on a PC with at least 4 MB RAM and Windows 98 that has at least one available serial comm. port (from 1 to 24). 2.2.1 Port Number & Baud Rate When users implement Sanav_Demo, the first window appeared on the screen is the setting of comm. port number and the corresponding value of baud rate, as shown in Figure 2.3. To open or close the “Setting” window, click the selection “File/Port” or the short cut button . Figure 2.3 Setting of comm

For setting the value of baud rate, pull the scroll-down window for the “Baud rate” item and the desired window shows that the available range of baud rate is from 2400 bps to 115200 bps, as shown in Figure 2.5. The users select the right one that will communicate the module with the host PC.

subsequent window will be the one shown in Figure 2.6, i.e., the navigation data from the module are displayed in the corresponding sub-windows. If the setting values are not correct or the connection hasn’t established yet, Sanav_Demo will prompt a warning sentence “Comm port couldn’t be open, please check the device”. When a new port setting is required, make sure Sanav_Demo is disconnected from the module before sending the request, i.e., click the “Disconnect” button in the “Setting”

Figure 2.7 Constellation Map of GPS satellites. 2.2.4 Message View for NMEA Messages Figure 2.8 is the window for showing the desired (user-selected) output NMEA messages. There are two ways to show the “Message View” window. Click the item “Windows/Terminal View” or the shortcut button ?. The default window for “Message View” is only showing the output NMEA messages at current epoch (one epoch), like the one shown in Figure 2.6. Figure 2.8 Window for showing NMEA messages. Click
