  • Page 7: Overview

    1.3 OVERVIEW The GPS 17x HVS is an embedded receiver and an antenna. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin GPS receivers, the GPS 17x HVS tracks multiple satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, precise navigation updates once per second, and low power consumption. This generation of GPS sensors includes the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS.

    GPS 17x antenna, and connect the white/orange wire (Rx/B) to ground. Note: The orange (accessory on) wire is used when wiring the GPS 17x to a Garmin chartplotter, or other NMEA 0183 device that has a defined accessory signal wire. If you are wiring the GPS 17x to a device that does not have an accessory signal wire, the orange wire from the GPS 17x should be connected to ground.

    NMEA 0183 sentences. The characters “$P” indicate that the sentence is a proprietary implementation and the characters and “GRM” indicate that it is Garmin’s proprietary sentence. The letter (or letters) that follow the characters “$PGRM” uniquely identifies that particular Garmin proprietary sentence.
  • Page 14: Sensor Initialization Information (Pgrmi)

    4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI) The PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the GPS sensor’s set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the GPS sensor causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it will be echoed upon receipt.
  • Page 15: Additional Sensor Configuration Information (Pgrmc1)

    All other NMEA 0183 sentence transmission will be suspended temporarily. Sending the sentence “$PGRMO,,G” will cause the COM port to change to Garmin Data Transfer format for the duration of the power cycle. The Garmin mode is required for GPS 17x HVS series product software updates.
  • Page 16: Transmitted Nmea 0183 Sentences

    4.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted by the GPS 17x HVS. 4.2.1 Sentence Transmission Rate Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate. The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentence descriptions) at a periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences.
  • Page 17: Transmitted Time

    4.2.2 Transmitted Time The GPS sensor outputs Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) date and time of day in the transmitted sentences. Before the initial position fix, the on-board clock provides the date and time of day. After the initial position fix, the date and time of day are calculated using GPS satellite information and are synchronized with the measurement pulse output.

    Time dilution of precision, 0 to 9 (rounded to nearest integer value) 4.2.12 Map Datum (PGRMM) The Garmin Proprietary sentence PGRMM gives the name of the map datum currently in use by the GPS sensor. This information is used by the Garmin MapSource real-time plotting application.
  • Page 21 NMEA 0183 RMC sentence. The accuracy of the one-pulse-per-second output is maintained only while the GPS receiver is computing a valid position fix. To obtain the most accurate results, the one-pulse-per-second output should be calibrated against a local time reference to compensate for cable and internal receiver delays and the local time bias.
