a. Baud rates higher than 115,200 bps are not supported by standard PC hardware. Special PC hardware is re-
quired for higher rates, including 230,400 bps.
INPUT/OUTPUT STROBES
MSR (Measure Output)
Normally high, active low where the pulse width is 1 ms. The falling edge is the
receiver measurement strobe.
MKI (Mark Input)
An input mark (negative pulse > 55 ns), time tags output log data to the time of
the falling edge of the mark input pulse.
PV (Position Valid)
Output indicates a ‘good solution’ or a valid GPS solution when high.
ERROR
Output that Indicates fatal error warning when high.
PPS (Pulse Per Second)
Normally high, active low pulse is 1 ms wide @ 1 Hz. Falling edge is used as
the reference.
RESETOUT
Reset TTL signal output to external system; active high.
