Setting NMEA Output on Trimble Juno ST

June 8, 2007 Summary

The Trimble Juno ST is capable of standard NMEA output. However, the receiver may have the SiRF protocol enabled by default. Mapping programs such as ESRI ArcPad will not be able to communicate with the Juno receiver until NMEA output is configured.
Installing GPS Controller
All options are enabled using the GPS Controller program, available for download from Trimbles Support Website. To install this program on your mobile device, follow these steps: 1. Download the program from http://www.trimble.com/support_trl.asp?Nav=Collection-32053. 2. Connect your Juno using Microsoft ActiveSync technology. 3. Run the program downloaded in Step 1.
Set Configuration Options
All configuration options are set by first connecting to the receiver in GPS Controller, setting options, then disconnecting from the receiver in GPS Controller. 1. Start GPS Controller by going to Start > Programs. The program will attempt to connect to the GPS receiver on COM 7. 2. Tap the drop-down arrow in the upper left-hand corner and select Setup. 3. Tap GPS Settings.

KeY featureS

BeSt Value GiS data cOllectiOn SYSteM
Priced to equip an entire workforce Lightweight and compact Productive field and office workflow Windows Mobile 5.0 software familiarity and convenience Bluetooth and WLAN connectivity
The JunoTM ST handheld is a highly productive yet affordable, non-rugged GPS receiver for field data collection and mobile GIS. The Juno ST handheld is Trimbles most compact, lightweight, fully-integrated field computer, providing 2 to 5 meter GPS positioning in real time or after postprocessing.
GPS field software, or use the GPS Pathfinder Tools Software Development Kit (SDK) to build an application thats customized to your needs. Office processing and postprocessing capability is provided with GPS Pathfinder Office software and Trimble GPS AnalystTM extension for ESRI ArcGIS. Full software compatibility allows existing Trimble customers to continue to use the same streamlined workflows and DGPS infrastructure.

easy to deploy

The Juno ST handheld is ideal for utility companies, government organizations, and agencies that are managing large deployments and tight budgets. In applications such as forestry mapping and workforce automation, where accuracy may be less important, and high productivity is essential, the Juno ST handheld is ideal. Incorporating a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, it has been specifically designed to maximize yield of positions in hostile environments, such as under forest canopy and up against buildings. If you need 2 to 5 meter accuracy in the field, you can use the integrated WAAS receiver for real-time corrections. Or you can collect data in the field and postprocess it back in the office to ensure positions are defined to the required accuracy level for your GIS, and to control the overall quality and consistency of your data.
industry standard software
Powered by industry standard Microsoft Windows Mobile version 5.0 software, you get all the benefits of an open platform for mobile devices. With Windows Mobile 5.0 software, all your data and applications reside in persistent storage, so they are secure even in the event of power loss. The Windows Mobile 5.0 software also includes familiar Microsoft productivity tools such as Word Mobile, Excel Mobile, Internet Explorer Mobile, and Outlook Mobile.

Stay connected

Integrated Bluetooth and wireless LAN technology provide options for connecting to the Internet and your corporate network to access data and maps and to send and receive email and instant messages. Use the built-in wireless LAN radio in conjunction with TrimPixTM technology to connect to a range of WiFi-capable Nikon digital cameras for automated capture of digital images. With TrimPix software you can take photos with a high resolution camera and send them wirelessly to your Juno ST handheld to be added as attributes to features in your GIS.
