Welcome to the GBX Reference Manual and congratulations on
purchasing this high performance differential GPS product. The
purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with the proper installation,
configuration, and operation of your new receiver.
The GBX is a fully integrated DGPS sensor, possessing both an
internal GPS and beacon differential receiver. The GPS engine housed
within the GBX is a leading L1 OEM receiver, employing proven
hardware and software features for real-time positioning and navigation
applications. The beacon engine contained within the GBX is CSI
Wireless's state-of-the-art, fully automatic, dual channel SBX-2. This
integrated DGPS product is designed to function in a wide array of
applications and environments. Compact, lightweight, yet rugged, the
GBX will provide you with years of reliable operation.
The GBX Series of receivers are very similar, differing only due to the
type of GPS receiver installed. As such, this document refers to both
receivers collectively as the GBX, noting any differences between the
different models where appropriate.
