Mounting
options
The VR1000 allows for two different mounting options: mount with
bolts, or mount with magnets.
Serial port
configuration
You may configure Port A or Port B of the GNSS receiver to output
any combination of data.
Port A can have a different configuration from Port B in data
message output, data rates, and the baud rate of the port, and
configure the ports independently based upon your needs.
Note:
For successful communications, use the 8-N-1 protocol and
set the baud rate of the VR1000’s serial ports to match that of the
devices to which they are connected. Flow control is not supported.
Baud Rates &
Message Types
When selecting your baud rate and message types, use the
following formula to calculate the bits/sec for each message and
sum the results to determine the baud rate for your required data
throughput.
Message output rate * Message length (bytes) * bits in byte =
Bits/second
(1 character = 1 byte, 8 bits = 1 byte, use 10 bits/byte to account for
overhead).
For information on message output rates refer to the
GNSS Technical Reference Manual
