Connect a di-GPS mini IIs
Connect the DSLR camera and di-GPS mini IIs as described below.
1. Turn off the camera.
2. Remove the Cap from the 10 pin remote terminal on the camera body.
3. Store the Cap in a safe place.
4. Connect the di-GPS mini IIs to the camera’s GPS port.
5. Switch the power mode to “On” or “Auto”.
6. Turn the camera on.
7. If the di-GPS mini IIs is properly connected, the camera will display a
blinking icon in the top control panel as the GPS receiver is searching
for a signal. The icon will stop blinking once signal has been
established and the receiver is ready to supply the current position.
di-GPS mini IIs will automatically detect the connection of the camera. It
cannot be turned on when the camera is not connected whatever the power
mode switch is set to "On" or "Auto". Both "On" and "Auto" mode only function
when the camera is properly connected.
Each satellite broadcasts a digital message that contains two types of
information. One type is ephemeris data, which includes the assigned serial
number of the satellite; the status of the satellite (healthy or faulty); the current
date and time. The second type is almanac data and includes precise orbital
position of every satellite in the system.
At the initialize stage, di-GPS mini IIs needs all these data for the position
fixed. It usually takes a minute to few minutes to receive all data. An open
sky outdoor environment will enable faster acquisition process. It will take a
longer time at a weak signal environment. Once di-GPS mini IIs locked to the
satellites, it will take a few seconds for reacquisition even at weak signal
environment.
