Sensor Communication
Once power has been applied to the sensor, it is functional. The sensor selects the appropriate serial
communication (USB or TTL) on power-up based on which cable is connected. If the hardware drivers
have been installed, communication can be established using the MIP Monitor software interface.
GNSS lock is not required to establish sensor communication.
