The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 35LP is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use the GPS 35LP at your own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review and understand all aspects of this Technical Manual before using the GPS 35LP. When in actual use, carefully compare indications from the GPS 35LP to all

This section describes the basic operational characteristics of the GPS 35LP. Additional information 2.1 SELF TEST After input power has been applied to the GPS 35LP and periodically thereafter, the unit will perform critical self test functions and report the results over the output channel(s). The following tests will be performed: 1) RAM check 2) FLASH memory test 3) Receiver test 4) Real-time clock test 5) Oscillator check In addition to the results of the above tests, the GPS 35L

1) Latitude/longitude/altitude 2) Velocity 3) Date/time 5) Satellite and receiver status Normally the GPS 35LP will select the optimal navigation mode (2D or 3D) based on available satellites and geometry considerations. The host system, at its option, may command the GPS 35LP to choose a specific mode of navigation, such as 2D. The following modes are available: 1) 2D exclusively with altitude supplied by the host system (altitude hold mode) 2) 3D exclusively with altitude comput

3.3 CONNECTION WIRING DESCRIPTION The GPS 35LP features a stripped and pre-tinned cable assembly for connection flexibility. The following is a functional description of each wire in the cable assembly. Vin - Regulated +3.6V to +6V, 150 mA (maximum) in the - LVx versions. Typical operating current is 120 mA. Transients and overvoltages are protected by an internal 6.8V transient diode and a positive temperature coefficient thermistor. With voltages greater than thermistor, causing it to heat

Sensor Initialization Informati on (PGRMI) The $PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the sensor board set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the board set 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 ,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>*hh<

All configuration changes take effect after receipt of a valid value except baud rate and PPS mode. Additional Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC1) The $PGRMC1 sentence provides additional information used to configure the sensor board operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS 35LP will echo this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC1 sentence will contain the cu
