200 Hz without any impact to performance. There are two methods to change the KVH17xx series IMU baud rate. If an OEM6 receiver is available, a command is available that will allow the receiver to change the IMU baud rate.

However, all of the shields on the OEM719 are within the keep-out zone defined for the OEM615 and all of the shields on the OEM729 are within the keep-out zone defined for the OEM628. Designs that respected the keep-out zones for the OEM6 receivers will not be affected by the shields on the OEM719 and OEM729.
3.2 Electrical changes 3.2.1 COM Port Data Rate The maximum data rate for COM ports has changed. On OEM6 receivers, the maximum data rate was 921,600 bps. On OEM7 receivers, the maximum data rate is 460,800 bps. 3.2.2 Power Supply The power consumption of OEM7 receivers is dependent on receiver configuration and feature use.
3.3 V rail than a similarly configured OEM615. The typical current draw for a NovAtel active antenna is <40 mA. For a typical antenna, this may increase the power drawn from the 3.3 V supply by as much as 70 mA (as the LNA supply is approximately 85-90% efficient).
Integration Application Note (D19021). 3.3.2 Vibration On OEM6 receivers, the random vibration specification is dependent on the receiver variant. Standard OEM6 receivers were rated to 7.7g RMS (MIL-STD_810G Method 514.6, Category 24). High vibration OEM6 receivers were rated to 20g RMS (MIL-STD_810G Method 514.6, Category 24).

This design has been used to protect EVENT_IN sig- nals from EN61000-4-5 induced surges up to 2kV on several NovAtel enclosure products. If nano- second-level timing is critical to the application, this protection circuit may be unsuitable, as it causes a timing shift of a few microseconds to the EVENT signal (heavily dependent on tem- perature).
The PV signal may be used to indicate that the receiver card has computed a valid position. Many NovAtel enclosure products use it to drive a green LED on the enclosure. It may also be used to monitor the status of the receiver with an external microcontroller.
Most RS232 or RS422 transceivers will provide some ESD protection (for harsh envir- onments, additional protection may be required). COM1 on the OEM729 uses RS-232 protocol by default. This port can be changed to RS-422 protocol using the SERIALPROTOCOL command. OEM6 to OEM7 Integration Guide v1...
