Seres Reference Manual

Preface
Welcome to the Seres Reference Manual and congratulations on
purchasing this high-performance smart DGPS antennal. This product is
based upon the successful heritage of our SLX engine-based GPS products.
The purpose of this manual is to familiarize you with the proper installation,
configuration, and operation of your new receiver system. We chose to
write this document as a comprehensive resource rather than a simple
user’s guide in order to place a variety of information in one place. We
hope this saves you time by providing complete information in a single
document and also increases your knowledgebase beyond the basic
operation of the Seres GPS system.
The Seres is a complete smart antenna system composed of a high-
performance receiver and antenna integrated within a single enclosure. It
contains the new CSI Wireless SX-1 GPS engine that brings high
performance positioning to a compact, simple to install product. The Seres
delivers sub-meter positioning using corrections from Space Based
Augmentation Systems (SBAS), at position update rates of up to 5 Hz
(option required).
The Seres also supports optional e-Dif firmware that allows it to position
with similar accuracy to differential mode for up to 30 to 40 minutes. e-Dif
allows the Seres to become it’s own base station during a short calibration
procedure and use corrections computed from this initialization for
extended periods while providing high accuracy.
CSI Wireless has designed this GPS product to function in a wide array of
applications and environments. Compact, lightweight, yet rugged, the Seres
will provide you with years of reliable operation.
