1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CAUTIONS CAUTION The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States, which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 18x is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review and understand all aspects of these Technical Specifications before using the GPS 18x. When in actual use, c

1.3 OVERVIEW The GPS 18x series products include an embedded receiver and an antenna. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin GPS receivers, the GPS 18x tracks multiple satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, precise navigation updates (five times per second for the GPS 18x-5Hz, and once per second for the GPS 18x USB, 18x PC, and 18x LVC), and low power consumption. This generation of GPS sensors includes the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System

2 GPSX 18x LVC & GPS 18x -5Hz WIRING AND PINOUTS The GPS 18x LVC/18x-5Hz interfaces to a serial port. The unit accepts TIA-232-F (RS-232) level inputs and transmits voltage levels from ground to the input voltage, TIA-232-F (RS-232) polarity. The GPS 18x LVC/18x-5Hz wires are terminated with a six-wire connector that is used by Garmin for testing purposes. You can remove this connector without voiding your warranty (see section 1.2 Limited Warranty). 2.1 GPS 18x LVC & GPS 18x -5Hz PINOUT

4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI) The $PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the GPS sensor’s set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the GPS sensor causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it will be echoed upon receipt. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMI sentence will contain the current default values. Current PGRMI defaults (with the exception o

4.1.4 Additional Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC1) The $PGRMC1 sentence provides additional information used to configure the GPS sensor operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS sensor will echo this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC1 sentence will contain the current default values. Current default values can also be obtained by sending $PGRMC1E to the

4.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted by the GPS 18x PC and LVC. 4.2.1 Sentence Transmission Rate Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate. The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentence descriptions) at a periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. The GPS sensor will transmit the selected sentences

4.2.2 Transmitted Time The GPS sensor outputs Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) date and time of day in the transmitted sentences. Before the initial position fix, the on-board clock provides the date and time of day. After the initial position fix, the date and time of day are calculated using GPS satellite information and are synchronized with the measurement pulse output. The GPS 18x-5Hz outputs a UTC with a tenths-of-a-second precision: 123456.8, for example. The GPS sensor uses informa
