Handheld Computer - Gps Receiver; Figure 3.2 Cable Connected To Z-Xtreme Receiver & Geodetic Iv Antenna - ashtech Z-Xtreme System Manual

The GPS antenna cable connects to the Z-Xtreme via a TNC type connector found on
the back panel of the receiver. The proper connector is labeled GPS. The other end
of the cable connects to the GPS antenna via either a TNC type or N type connector
depending on which antenna used, as shown in Figure 3.2. A TNC connector is
found on the Geodetic IV antenna. An N type connector is found on the choke ring.
Figure 3.2 Cable Connected to Z-Xtreme Receiver and Geodetic IV Antenna
The GPS antenna can be connected to the receiver at any time before or after the
receiver is powered on. Make sure the connection at both the receiver and antenna is
tight and not cross-threaded.
Handheld Computer – GPS receiver
The optional handheld computer must communicate with the Z-Xtreme GPS receiver
to serve as an interface to the receiver. This is accomplished via an RS232 cable
such as the one shown in Figure 3.3. The computer communication cable connects
to the Z-Xtreme via one of the three serial ports on the back panel of the receiver.
These three ports are grouped together and labeled SERIAL PORTS. Although any
one of the three ports will accept the connection to the handheld, it is recommended
that the handheld be connected to port A.
