1. Introduction Introduction The PNT-SG3FS-EVAL evaluation kit is a complete standalone evaluation platform for the PNT- SG3FS GNSS module. The PNT-SG3FS module is an easy-to-use Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) standalone module, with an integrated Teseo-III receiver working simultaneously on multiple constellations (GPS/Galileo/Glonass/BeiDou/QZSS).
2. Features Features The PNT-SG3FS-EVAL has the following features: USB power supply ♦ Internal backup battery option (battery not provided) ♦ ♦ Power and Reset buttons I2C and current measurement connectors ♦ ♦ UART connector via USB PPS and Power output LEDs ♦...
♦ GNSS antenna input LED indicators ♦ Power Input Power is supplied to the PNT-SG3FS-EVAL via the micro-USB connector highlighted in Figure 1 below. Figure 1. Power Input Power (On/Off) Button The power button is highlighted in Figure 2 below.
Figure 3. Reset Button LED Indicators The PNT-SG3FS-EVAL offers two LED indicators as shown below. The red power LED indicator (highlighted in Figure 4 below) shows whether the unit is ♦ On (LED is lit) or Off (LED is unlit).
GNSS input is available through an SMA female connector, highlighted in Figure 8 below. Figure 7. GNSS SMA Connector A passive or active antenna can be used on the PNT-SG3FS-EVAL. The DC power supply for active antenna is 3V3 with current limitation in case of a short circuit.
4. Interfaces Note: Please use a DC blocker for passive antenna or connection of a GNSS simulator to the PNT-SG3FS-EVAL unit. I2C and Power Connector Interface The 10-pin CN302 connector highlighted in Figure 9 below provides I2C bus signal and pins to measure power consumption.
5. Current Measurement Process Current Measurement Process The current measurement pins identified in Table 2 of the previous section are highlighted in Figure 10 below. Pin #9: VCC Pin #7: VBAT Pin #8: PM_VBAT Pin #10: PM_VCC Figure 9. Current Measurement Connector Pins To measure the current consumption of the PNT-SG3FS in different operating modes: 1.
Figure 11. Edit Session Configuration Button Add/Delete Device In the Configuration Session panel, you can add/delete PNT-SG3FS-EVAL devices in the work session and monitor existing devices. Click the "Add Device" button to bring up the Configuration Device form shown in Figure 14.
6. Teseo-Suite Connection Figure 12. Configuration Device panel Note: When selecting the Port Name, Teseo-Suite lists all COM ports available, even if these COM ports are already in use by another application. The GNSS Device Name and Protocol cannot be changed once the device has been added.
6. Teseo-Suite Connection Figure 13. Configuration Session Panel with One Device Added To delete a device from the session, click the corresponding button in the Delete Device column. The Delete All button removes all devices from the current session. Connect or Disconnect Control Port After the Control Port has been defined, its corresponding checkbox is enabled.
Open the NMEA output window to confirm proper NMEA output using the button shown in Figure Figure 15. View NMEA Output Button The NMEA output panel displays the NMEA stream coming from the PNT-SG3FS-EVAL as shown in Figure 17 below.
