Rear Panel

The narrow rear panel of the Z-Max GPS Receiver Module, Figure 2.7, contains the
serial and external power ports for connection to external equipment.
Serial Ports
The serial ports are used for connecting the Z-Max GPS Receiver Module by cable to
external equipment including a PC or handheld computers, external radios, timing
devices, and event logging devices. These ports can be used to transfer data or
NMEA messages to another device, send receiver commands or queries, receive or
transmit RTK or code phase corrections. The serial ports include the ports seen on
the rear panel, and the USB port located inside the small door on the front panel
(described on page 11).
Serial A
Serial A is a full duplex serial port with RS-232 protocol. Pin 1 supplies 12 V
output that can be used to power external devices. Pin 7 is a 1PPS output.
NOTE: Internal to the receiver, the USB port and the Serial A port share the same internal port.
Therefore, only one of these ports can be in use at the same time. If both Serial A and the USB port
are in use at the same time, the USB port will have precedence.
