1. Overview
FIGURE 1-1. The GPS16X-HVS terminates in pigtails for direct
connection to our data loggers
The GPS16X-HVS is a complete GPS receiver manufactured by Garmin
International, Inc. Campbell Scientific configures the GPS16X-HVS to work
with our data loggers and modifies its cable so that the cable terminates in
pigtails. The pigtails connect directly to the control terminals of our data
loggers or with the aid of an A300.
The GPS16X-HVS includes the GPS receiver and antenna in the same housing
with one cable for the power supply and communications. The GPS antenna
must have a clear view of the sky. Generally, the GPS antenna will not work
indoors.
The GPS16X-HVS is a 12-channel GPS receiver that supports FAA Wide Area
Augmentation System (WAAS) or RTCM differential GPS. Also supported is
the 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS) timing signal. The cable connections provided
with the GPS16X-HVS do not support differential GPS correction. The cable
can be modified by the user if differential correction is required.
