The receiver comes from the factory with messages settings that should be compatible
with most applications. Refer to the connecting equipment manuals for information
about what message types and serial settings they require. By default, the 110
will output GGA and VTG messages on both ports. On port A these messages are output
at 19.2K BPS with 5 solutions per second. This is the optimum setting for
connection a guidance smart bar such as the Raven LB-5. Port B outputs the same
messages at 4800 BPS with 1 solution per second. This is optimum for applications
such as GIS or yield monitors.
WAAS RECEIVER
The 110 provides real time differential solutions using free corrections (WAAS)
broadcast from satellite. WAAS corrections are available without a subscription
free everywhere in the US, parts of Canada, Mexico and Europe using a compatible
system called EGNOS. These corrections are available 24 hours a day in all weather
conditions.
GPS ANTENNA
The GPS antenna is a low profile patch antenna, which receives both GPS and WAAS
signals. The antenna can be mounted to a metal surface using the internal magnetic
mount. The antenna is supplied with a 15-foot cable with a BNC connector.
UTILITY SOFTWARE
Utility software is not required to setup or use the receiver in most applications.
However, a utility program is available from Raven.
RECEIVER FIRMWARE UPDATES
Firmware is software, which resides inside the receiver. Raven continues to improve
the performance of its receiver products and sometimes makes special features
available. When this happens, a new version of firmware is created. You can request
this firmware from Raven. You will need to connect the receiver to a PC and run the
included programming software to update the unit. You should check with your dealer
for a new versions of firmware.
It should be noted that updates cover such things as bug fixes and performance
enhancements. Sometimes upgrades can also be programmed into the receiver using
the utility software. Up-grades also include things such as the 10 position
solutions per second option, which does have additional cost. The good thing is
that you can install these upgrades and updates. You will need to get a code from
your dealer or directly from Raven to install the upgrades but the process is
simple.
