Power Supply for Active Antennas
The standard power supply for the PX1N is 3.3 V. A phantom supply is available as an
option, allowing the PX1N to supply active GPS antennas with 3.3 V or 5 V. In addition, it
is possible to extend the power supply to 3.5 V or 5 V with either an optional assembly, or
a version that has been configured specifically.
3.2
GNSS Interface
The PX1N is equipped with a U-Blox Neo M8L GNSS module with dead reckoning, which
supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou and is Galileo ready. The GNSS
signals are received via an onboard U.FL connector, which has to be connected to an
external antenna.
3.3
Software Requirements
The PX1N does not require a specific driver. The USB2UART interface is supported under
Linux, kernels higher than 3.0 and under Windows 7 and newer.
The PX1N itself has no antenna. Please note that MEN does not supply
antennas with the PX1N, since the choice of a suitable antenna depends
on your application
