Accessing the Board

The TPS OEM boards use the GNSS Receiver Interface Language (GRIL) to manage the various board parameters
for optimum performance.
GRIL works by sending instructions, called commands, to the board. When you want to request an action or result
from the board, you send commands to the board where they are parsed and executed by the command
interpreter. In response to the executed commands, the board performs the requested action(s) and usually
generates message(s) to report results.
For sending the commands to and receiving reply messages from the board, you can use a terminal program of
your choice, including:
•
TRU - Topcon's hardware configuration software, which allows you to control and monitor the board's behavior
via the graphical interface (GI) or the GRIL commands. It is available for installation on desktop computers and
hand-held controllers. See
Hardware Integration Guide
•
third-party programs, e.g., HyperTerminal and PuTTY.
•
user-written applications.
