•A power supply of +9 to +18 VDC

•An interface cables for the multi-purpose I/O connector on the SPAN-CPT. The interface cables can be NovAtel cables (see SPAN-CPT Cable on page 52) or custom built cables (see Appendix A, Technical Specifications on page 48 for the multi-purpose I/O connector pin outs).

•A Windows® based computer with a USB or serial port

•A radio link (if the application requires real time differential operation)

Figure 2: SPAN-CPT Receiver

The sections that follows outline how to set up the system’s parts and cables. Refer to Appendix A, Technical Specifications on page 48 for details.

Use a USB cable to log raw data - Serial communication is sufficient for configuring and monitoring the receiver through Hyperterminal or NovAtel Connect. USB is required if using a post-processing application requiring 100 Hz IMU data. We also recommend using NovAtel Connect to collect the data. Refer to Data Collection on page 32 and Data Collection for Post-Processingon page 33 for instructions.
