Introduction
1.1.
Overview
The PinPoint Commander or PPC is used to communicate with PinPoint VHF tags or LiteTrack collars for
downloading their data, uploading new schedules and testing Proximity functions.
The PPC is lightweight and portable. It works with either a simple whip or directional antennas such as a Yagi or
a H Antenna, to further increase its effective range.
A list of tags/collars to be communicated with is created by PinPoint Host software and stored on a micro SD
card. The downloaded data is stored on the same micro SD card as well. A USB connection is used to transfer
data from PPC to a Windows computer (PC).
The unit can work in autonomous mode (Main Menu > Download > Schedule), where it will operate unattended
following a schedule. Separate solar power can be used to power the unattended unit.
