How To Use this Documentation
Please read this section to understand the or-
ganization of this manual. This will help you
navigate more easily through the pages and
find more quickly the information you are
looking for.
The manual is divided into six volumes:
• Receiver Description (Chapter 1)
• Web Server (Chapters 2-3)
• The Integrator’s Corner (Chapters 4-9)
• Appendix (Chapters 10-11)
Note that these four volumes only appear in
the PDF version of the manual as bookmarks
created at the highest level in the PDF file.
On the other hand, the table of contents only
shows a succession of numbered chapters
without any reference to these volumes.
Therefore, the different chapters come as fol-
lows.
***
Chapter 1 provides a full description of the
HDS800 (front panel display screens, con-
nectors, accessories, batteries, etc.). Addi-
tional sections cover the following topics:
Antenna setup instructions for heading deter-
mination, Specifications, Port Pinouts, 1PPS
Output and Event Marker Input.
***
Chapters 2 and 3 are about the Web Server,
an embedded web application allowing you to
control and monitor the receiver over the In-
ternet. Chapter 2 provides step-by-step in-
structions for several typical applications.
Chapter 3 is an illustrated collection of the
Web Server on-line help files.
***
Chapters 4 to 9 give in-depth information on
the receiver. They are more particularly in-
tended for integrators and technical experts.
This is the biggest part in this manual.
Chapter 4 explains how to install the
HDS800
when used on board a machine or a vessel
and provides typical scripts (based on $PASH
commands) to configure the receiver as a
base or a rover.
Chapter 5 lists the connection facilities of-
fered by the Ethernet port.
Chapter 6 is about the $PASH proprietary
commands, introducing the two categories of
commands, and telling you how to apply
them. Chapter 6 also describes the conven-
tions used in their description and provides
an alphabetical list, combining set and query
commands in a single table.
Chapters 7 to 9 provide a full description of
respectively the set commands, the query
commands and the raw data output formats.
***
Chapters 10 and 11 constitute the Appendix
of the manual.
Chapter 10 is a collection of first-level main-
tenance instructions you may have to refer to,
should you encounter any problems with your
equipment. This chapter also includes the
list of alarms the receiver may generate.
Chapter 11 is designed as a memo gathering
various typical procedures you may some-
times have to run.
