the list. Download and install the u-center software and
download documentation as needed.
See installation notes on the back of this card.
2. Connect the unit to a PC. Options:
• USB: Connect via USB port (G). The USB driver
installs automatically when the device is
connected to a PC; internet connection required.
• UART: Connect via RS232 (F). Set switch (B) to I2C.
• SPI / I2C compliant DDC: Connect the pins (C).
Set switch (B) to either SPI or I2C.
NOTE: Press RST (E) after setting switch (B).
3. Provide power to the device at all times, either via USB
on the back (G) or the V5 IN pin (D) on the front.
4. Connect the GNSS antenna to the evaluation unit (A)
and place the antenna in a location with an unobstruct-
ed view of the sky. For best performance, use an active
antenna or external LNA (when connecting to a GNSS
simulator).
5. Start the u-center GNSS evaluation software and se-
lect the corresponding COM port and baud rate.
