This chapter contains instructions and tips to set up your SMART-AG to create a GNSS receiver system.
2.1Additional Equipment Required
In order for the receiver to perform optimally, the following additional equipment is required:
•A PC/laptop (user-supplied)
•A means of communicating with, and powering, the SMART-AG
•SMART-AG cable (01018256) (included with the receiver Development kit, NovAtel part number 01018257, see Figure 3, Simplified SMART-AG Setup on Page 21 for COM and power connections
Use a serial COM connection to communicate with the receiver first.
•A fused power supply (user-supplied) or other user equipment
2.1.1SMART-AG Setup
Complete these steps to connect and power your SMART-AG. See also Figures 2 to starting below.
1.Mount the SMART-AG on a secure, stable part of the vehicle (i.e. cab roof) with an unobstructed view of the sky from horizon to horizon, see Section 2.1.5, Mounting the SMART-AGon Page 23.
2.Establish a physical communication connection between the SMART-AG and the PC/laptop. Connect the COM and Power port on the back of the SMART-AG, see Figure 2 below, to a DB-9 serial port on a PC, laptop or other data storage device.
