Chapter 2 Quick Start Setting up the MPC is a straightforward process, whether you are in the field (collecting data) or back at the office (configuring the MPC, or transferring collected data to your PC for post-processing). CAUTION!: See the cautions on Page 11 of the Notices for a list of items you should be aware of as you set up and use the MPC. Figure 2 displays how you might typically set up the MPC at the office (for example, as a base to set up other receivers in the grid, or to tra

Quick Start Chapter 2 A typical configuration would result from the following steps (see also Figure 2 on Page 16): 1. Place the MPC on a desk or other suitable work surface. 2. Connect the output of a power source to the Power Input port on the back of the MPC. 3. Connect a GPS antenna to the GPS Antenna In connector on the back of the MPC. 4. Connect an appropriate cable from the back of the MPC (PPP, Ethernet or Modem port) to your intended internet or intranet connection source. 5. Press th

Chapter 3 MPC Setup Considerations 3.1 Choose the Right Antenna The recommended antenna is from the GPS-600 antenna series, which are ideal for all applications. A Model 600 GPSAntenna provides comparable performance to a choke ring ground plane antenna while being much lighter and smaller. When installing the antenna system, choose an antenna location that has a clear view of the sky so that each satellite above the horizon can be tracked without obstruction. mount the antenna on a secur

Back Panel of the MPC Frequency Control Front Panel of the MPC Chapter 3 MPC Setup Considerations 3.2.1 10 MHz In and 10 MHz Out There are two BNC connectors on the back of the MPC for 10 MHz In and 10 MHz Out. These two connectors are looped using an RF Loop-Back connector. Therefore by default, the 10 MHz Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator (OCXO) in the MPC is looped back to the GPS receiver. The GPSCard phase locks to the 5 or 10 MHz reference signal supplied to the rear panel 10 MHz port.
