GPS
The Agilent E6474A system has the ability to work
with several types of GPS interfaces. The system is
compatible with the communications protocols list-
ed below. The physical interface is RS-232 with a
DB9 connector.
Compatible protocols
• TAIP
• TSIP
• NMEA
Two different GPS receiver configurations are
available. The Agilent receivers are listed on the
previous page and include GPS receivers mounted
inside the receiver enclosure. This configuration
provides excellent portability and convenience.
Accessories can be ordered using the Agilent
86154A system accessories model number. Agilent
86154A Option 210 adds a Trimble Placer GPS 455
receiver with dead reckoning for external connec-
tion to the system.
Internal GPS receiver
• 8-channel GPS receiver
• mounted inside RF receiver enclosure
• SMA antenna connector
• magnetic mount antenna with cable
• differential compatible
• not dead reckoning compatible
Agilent 86154A Option 210
• Trimble Placer GPS 455 with dead reckoning
• heading sensor
• interconnect adapter (to connect to the
RF receiver)
• interconnect cables
• magnetic mount antenna with cable
• differential compatible
External GPS receivers communicate with the
Agilent E6474A via an RS-232 serial connection.
The table below lists several GPS receiver models
and the associated requirements for connection to
an Agilent E6474A system. For other models of
external GPS receivers, consult an Agilent
representative for interconnect requirements.
GPS receiver model Interconnect requirement
•Trimble Placer GPS/DR Option 211
•Trimble Placer GPS 455 Option 212
•Trimble SveeSix Straight-through
RS-232 cable
•Trimble Placer GPS 400 Straight-through
RS-232 cable
If a GPS receiver is purchased from Agilent, all
necessary interconnect parts are provided.
Differential GPS can be used with the Agilent
E6474A systems, provided the GPS receiver being
used is differential compatible. Agilent 86514A
Option 230 adds a differential GPS receiver to the
system.
Agilent 86154A Option 230:
differential GPS receiver
• differential Corrections, Incorporated RDS-3000
• magnetic mount antenna
• interconnect cables
