Foreword
8 MiLLennium GPSCard and Enclosures Guide to Installation & Operation
FOREWORD
Congratulations!
Congratulations on purchasing your MiLLennium GPSCard. The MiLLennium
,
NovAtel’s third-generation GPSCard, is
a dual-frequency capable GPS receiver designed for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) applications. This Guide is
written for the OEM system integrator.
Scope
This Guide contains sufficient information on the installation and operation of the MiLLennium to allow you to
effectively integrate and fully operate it. As such, it is beyond the scope of this Guide to provide details on service or
repair. Please contact your local NovAtel dealer for any customer-service related inquiries.
The MiLLennium utilizes a comprehensive user-interface command structure, which requires communications through its
serial communications ports. Accompanying this Guide is a MiLLennium Command Descriptions Manual, which lists
and describes the GPSCard commands and logs. Please remember that since each MiLLennium is shipped from the
distributor with a customer-specific list of features, some commands or logs may not be applicable to your model. Other
supplementary manuals may be included to accommodate special models and software features with unique functionality.
It is recommended that these documents be kept together for easy reference.
Prerequisites
The MiLLennium is an OEM product requiring the addition of an enclosure and peripheral equipment before it can
become a fully functional GPS receiver. The Installation section of this document provides information concerning
installation requirements and considerations for the MiLLennium GPSCard, the PowerPak II and the ProPak II.
What’s New in This Edition
This is the third edition of the MiLLennium GPSCard Guide to Installation and Operation. This document will be
updated periodically to reflect product improvements and enhancements. The changes made since the last edition are:
1. Passive antennas are no longer supported – only active antennas are supported.
2. The MiLLennium GPSCard no longer automatically detects and locks onto an external oscillator signal. This
function is now controlled by the EXTERNALCLOCK command, see Optional User-Supplied External
Oscillator, Page 17.
3. The MiLLennium GPSCard itself is now reverse-polarity protected, i.e. it will not blow up if plugged into the
wrong power source but will not function. The GPSCard in a PowerPak II or ProPak II enclosure has always had
this feature.
4. The PowerPak II and ProPak II enclosures for the MiLLennium GPSCard are now described in this manual as
opposed to having three separate manuals.
