  • Page 9: The Receiver Installation

    2. The Receiver installation The GNSS signals from GNSS antenna is necessary for BX316 to work. Two SMA connectors are for the antenna signals. If only one antenna is installed, connect it to P-Ant and leave S-Ant float. COM1/2 ports are used for configure commands input and corrections/solution output. The level of COM1/2 is LVTTL, if RS-232 is required, a level transfer cable is provided, see section 3.3.2.

    The two serial ports and the USB port on a Precis-BX316 can be used to communicate with it. The USB port is mapping to a serial port in the computer. Any serial tools on a computer can be used to communicate with the receiver, it’s recommended to communicate it with graphical tool Tersus...
  • Page 11: Heading Output

    If no file name is input, a name related to the board operating time will be given. Heading output The BX316 can output real time heading angle between the true north and the vector from the primary to the secondary antenna. If the two antennas are installed parallel to the velocity direction, then pitch and heading angles will be output.
