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 17x HVS 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 17x HVS. When in actua

1.2 LIMITED WARRANTY This Garmin product is warranted to be free from defects in materials or workmanship for one year from the date of purchase. Within this period, Garmin will, at its sole option, repair or replace any components that fail in normal use. Such repairs or replacement will be made at no charge to the customer for parts or labor, provided that the customer shall be responsible for any transportation cost. This warranty does not cover failures due to abuse, misuse, accident, o

1.3 OVERVIEW The GPS 17x HVS is an embedded receiver and an antenna. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin GPS receivers, the GPS 17x HVS tracks multiple satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, precise navigation updates once per second, and low power consumption. This generation of GPS sensors includes the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS. The GPS 17x HVS design uses the latest technology and high-level circuit inte

1.5 GPS 17X SERIES 1.5.1 GPS 17x HVS The GPS 17x HVS interfaces to a RS-232 serial port of a computer via a DB-9 connector and receives power through a vehicle power adapter. The GPS 17x is RS-422 compatible. See the wiring diagrams for correct wiring. ® The GPS 17x HVS can cause an issue with Microsoft ® Windows operating systems if the DB9 connector is plugged into the computer before the computer is fully running. The Windows operating system may interpret the serial connector on t

4 GPS 17X HVS SOFTWARE INTERFACE The interface protocol design of the GPS 17x HVS is based on the National Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. This standard is fully defined in NMEA 0183, Version 2.30. You can obtain a copy of the latest specification from NMEA, www.nmea.org. In addition to the standard NMEA 0183 sentences, the GPS 17x HVS may also be configured to transmit information over their serial interface using NMEA 0183 compliant Garmin propr

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 of

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 the sentence “$P

4.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted by the GPS 17x HVS. 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 contigu

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 sensor uses information obtained from the GPS satellites to add or delete UTC leap seconds and correct the tr
