A-1. Additional Software Configurations

A-1-1. Configure Baud Rate

Alpha supports multiple NMEA output baud rates on UART and USB interface while the baud rate of

Bluetooth is fixed at 115200. User should NOT use any baud rate other than 115200 when Bluetooth

interface is selected, or it’ll not be possible to get RTK Fix.

User can change the NMEA output baud rate of UART and USB interface from the Setting pull-down

menu on RTK Viewer, select “Configure Output Baud Rate” and choose the desired baud rate in dialog

box.

Figure A-1-1

Base data input baud rate of Alpha RTK rover is fixed at 115200. Sending base data to rover at

incorrect baud rate will cause the rover unable to receive base data and never enter Float RTK state.
