4 Installation

4.1 The Front Panel Layout

FAIL LED

The FAIL LED is turned on whenever the TIME_SYN

output is low (receiver is not synchronized).

LOCK LED

The LOCK LED is turned on when after power-up the

receiver has acquired at least four satellites and has

computed its position. In normal operation the receiver

position is updated continuously as long as at least four

satellites can be received. When the receivers position

is known and steady only a single satellite needs to be

received to synchronize and generate output pulses.

BSL Button

Whenever the on-board software must be upgraded or

modied, the new rmware can be downloaded to the

internal ash memory via the serial port COM0. There

is no need to open the metal case and insert a new

EPROM.

If the BSL pushbutton behind the front panel is pressed while the system is powered up, a bootstrap-loader is

actived and waits for instructions from the serial port COM0. The new rmware can be sent to GPS170SV from

any standard PC with serial interface. A loader program will be shipped together with the le containing the

image of the new rmware.

The contents of the program memory will not be modied until the loader program has sent the command

to erase the ash memory. So if the BSL pushbutton is pressed unintentionally while the system is powered up,

the rmware will not be changed accidentially. After the next power-up, the system will be ready to operate

again.

The serial port COM0 is accessible via a 9pin DSUB

male connector (older version 9pol. DSUB male con-

nector) in the frontpanel of the GPS170, parallel hard-

wired to the COM0 port on the rear VG edge connector.
