Appendix A. Changing GPS16X-HVS

Settings

As configured by Campbell Scientific, the GPS16X-HVS will output the

NMEA 0183 $GPGGA and $GPRMC data strings once a second, the PPS

signal is enabled with a duration of 100 milliseconds and the baud rate is set to

38,400 baud.

Special software (SNRSRCFG.EXE) is available from Garmin International

for system setup. The GPS16X-HVS user manual available from Garmin

International provides technical details beyond the scope of the Campbell

Scientific user manual.

Settings used by Campbell Scientific for GPS16X-HVS setup:

GPS Base Model = GPS 16(X)

Fix Mode = Automatic

Baud Rate = 38,400

Dead Reckon Time = 30 sec

NMEA output time = 1 sec

Position pinning = off

NMEA 2.30 mode = off

Power Save Mode = off (Normal mode)

PPS mode = 1 Hz

PPS Length = 100 mS

Phaze output Data = off

DGPS Mode = WAAS only

Differential mode = Automatic

Earth Datum Index = WGS 84

Selected Sentences = GPGGA and GPRMC

Common changes would be baud rate and selected sentences. The NMEA 0183

GPVTG data sentence gives ground speed and direction, which may be

required for some applications. Changes can be made with the Garmin

software, or with a terminal emulator and the Garmin technical user manual.

Contact Garmin International (www.garmin.com) for either resource.

A.1 Computer Connections

Either an A200 interface or SC110 cable is required to connect the GPS16X-

HVS to a computer. The A200 is used to connect to a computer USB port, and

the SC110 is used to connect to a computer 9-pin serial port.

A.1.1 Using the A200

A.1.1.1 Driver Installation

If the A200 has not been previously plugged into your PC and your PC

operating system is not Windows 7, the A200 driver needs to be loaded onto

your PC.
