OVERVIEW

The GPS 17x HVS is an embedded receiver and an antenna. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin GPS receivers, the GPS 17x HVS tracks multiple satellites at a time while providing fast time-to-first-fix, precise navigation updates once per second, and low power consumption. This generation of GPS sensors includes the capability of FAA Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) differential GPS. The GPS 17x HVS design uses the latest technology and high-level circuit integration to achieve superior performance while minimizing space and power requirements. The hardware capability combined with software intelligence makes the GPS 17x HVS easy to integrate and use. The GPS 17x HVS is designed to withstand rugged operating conditions and is waterproof to IEC 60529 IPX7: immersion in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The complete GPS receiver requires minimal additional components to be supplied by an OEM or system integrator. A minimum system must provide the GPS with a source of power and a clear view of the GPS satellites. Internal FLASH memory allows the GPS to retain critical data such as satellite orbital parameters, last-known position, date and time. End user interfaces such as keyboards and displays are the responsibility of the application designer.

FEATURES

GPS receiver tracks and uses multiple satellites for fast, accurate positioning and velocity estimates. Differential DGPS capability using real-time WAAS corrections yielding position errors of less than 3 meters. Compact, rugged design ideal for applications with minimal space. Factory configuration meets the needs of most systems that expect NMEA 0183 data from a GPS receiver. Configuration commands are available to customize the NMEA 0183 output (see section 4.1 Received NMEA 0183 Sentences) Highly accurate measurement pulse output for precise timing measurements: one-pulse-per-second (1 Hz). Pulse width is configurable in 20 millisecond increments from 20 ms to 980 ms with 1 s accuracy. Configurable for binary format data output. FLASH-based program allows new software revisions through a Web site download. Non-volatile memory does not require battery backup. Onboard rechargeable backup battery can maintain the real-time clock for up to 10 days. Configurable parameters include expected position, current time and date, and preferred position fix type (3D or automatic). Waterproof design allows continuous exposure to the prevailing weather conditions at most locations.

GPS 17X HVS SOFTWARE INTERFACE
The interface protocol design of the GPS 17x HVS is based on the National Marine Electronics Associations NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. This standard is fully defined in NMEA 0183, Version 2.30. You can obtain a copy of the latest specification from NMEA, www.nmea.org. In addition to the standard NMEA 0183 sentences, the GPS 17x HVS may also be configured to transmit information over their serial interface using NMEA 0183 compliant Garmin proprietary sentences. These proprietary sentences begin with the characters, $PGRM, instead of the characters $G that are typical of the standard NMEA 0183 sentences. The characters $P indicate that the sentence is a proprietary implementation and the characters and GRM indicate that it is Garmins proprietary sentence. The letter (or letters) that follow the characters $PGRM uniquely identifies that particular Garmin proprietary sentence. It is also possible to configure the GPS 17x HVS to transmit binary data information over their serial interface. See Appendix B: Garmin Binary Output Format for details. The following sections describe the NMEA 0183 data format of each sentence transmitted and received by the GPS 17x HVS.
RECEIVED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES
The following paragraphs define the sentences that can be received on the GPS sensors port. Null fields in the configuration sentence indicate no change in the particular configuration parameter. All sentences received by the GPS sensor must be terminated with <CR><LF>, the ASCII characters for carriage return (0D hexadecimal) and line feed (0A hexadecimal). The checksum *hh is used for parity checking data and is not required, but is recommended for use in environments containing high electromagnetic noise. It is generally not required in normal PC environments. When used, the parity bytes (hh) are the ASCII representation of the exclusive-or (XOR) sum of all the characters between the $ and * characters, non-inclusive. The hex representation must be a capital letter, such as 3D instead of 3d. Sentences may be truncated by <CR><LF> after any data field and valid fields up to that point will be acted on by the sensor.
Almanac Information (GPALM)
The GPALM sentence can be used to initialize the GPS sensors stored almanac information in the unlikely event of non-volatile memory loss or after storing longer than six months without tracking GPS satellites. $GPALM,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,<8>,<9>,<10>,<11>,<12>,<13>,<14>,<15>*hh<CR><LF> <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> <8> <9> <10> <11> <12> <13> <14> <15> Total number of ALM sentences to be transmitted by the GPS sensor during almanac download.

GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 9
Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI)
The PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the GPS sensors set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the GPS sensor causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it will be echoed upon receipt. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMI sentence will contain the current default values. Current PGRMI defaults (with the exception of the Receiver Command, which is a command rather than a mode) can also be obtained by sending the sentence $PGRMIE to the GPS sensor. $PGRMI,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>*hh<CR><LF> <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> Latitude, ddmm.mmm format for GPS 17x HVS (leading zeros must be transmitted) Latitude hemisphere, N or S Longitude, ddmm.mmm format for GPS 17x HVS (leading zeros must be transmitted) Longitude hemisphere, E or W Current UTC date, ddmmyy format Current UTC time, hhmmss format for GPS 17x HVS Receiver Command, A = Cold Start, R = Unit Reset
Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC)
The PGRMC sentence provides information used to configure the GPS sensors operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS sensor will echo this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC sentence will contain the current default values. Current default values can also be obtained by sending the sentence $PGRMCE to the GPS sensor. $PGRMC,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,<8>,<9>,<10>,<11>,<12>,<13>,<14>*hh<CR><LF> <1> <2> <3> Fix mode, A = Automatic, 3 = 3D exclusively Altitude above/below mean sea level, -1500.0 to 18000.0 meters Earth datum index.

Additional Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC1)
The PGRMC1 sentence provides additional information used to configure the GPS sensor operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS sensor will echo this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC1 sentence will contain the current default values. Current default values can also be obtained by sending the sentence $PGRMC1E to the GPS sensor. $PGRMC1,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,<8>,<9>,<10>,<11>,<12>,<13>*hh<CR><LF> <1> <2> <3> <4> <5> <6> <7> <8> <9> <10> <11> <12> <13> NMEA 0183 output time 1 to 900 (sec).

Configuration changes take effect immediately, with the exception of Binary Output Data, which takes effect on the next power cycle or a reset event. Send the sentence $PGRMI,,,,,,,R to command a reset (refer to section 4.1.2 Sensor Information (PGRMI). If the GPS sensor is in the Binary data mode, it is necessary to send the following eight-byte data stream to temporarily change the data format to NMEA 0183: 10 0A 00 CE (Hexadecimal) Then send PGRMC1 with field 2 set to turn off the Binary Output Data format.

Global Positioning System Almanac Data (GPALM)
Almanac sentences are not normally transmitted. Send the GPS sensor the sentence $PGRMO,GPALM,1 to initiate almanac transmission. Upon receipt, the GPS sensor will transmit available almanac information on GPALM sentences. During the transmission of almanac sentences, other NMEA 0183 data output is suspended temporarily. $GPALM,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>,<8>,<9>,<10>,<11>,<12>,<13>,<14>,<15>*hh<CR><LF> <field information> can be found in section 4.1.1 Almanac Information (GPALM).

BAUD RATE SELECTION

Baud rate selection can be performed by sending the appropriate configuration sentence to the GPS sensor as described in the PGRMC section 4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI), field <10>.

MEASUREMENT PULSE OUTPUT

One-Pulse-Per-Second (PPS) Output
GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 16 Rev. A
The highly accurate one-pulse-per-second (PPS) output is provided for applications requiring precise timing measurements. After the initial position fix has been calculated, the PPS signal is generated and continues until the unit is powered down. The rising edge of the signal is aligned to the start of each GPS second within 1 s for all conditions in which the receiver has reported a valid and accurate position for at least the previous 4 seconds. The NMEA 0183 sentences that follow each rising edge of the PPS signal tell when you were and where you were at that previous rising edge of the PPS signal, beginning with the GPRMC sentence as the lead sentence in any particular NMEA 0183 record. Regardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS 17x HVS is referenced to the pulse immediately preceding the NMEA 0183 RMC sentence. The accuracy of the one-pulse-per-second output is maintained only while the GPS receiver is computing a valid position fix. To obtain the most accurate results, the one-pulse-per-second output should be calibrated against a local time reference to compensate for cable and internal receiver delays and the local time bias. The default pulse width is 100 ms, however; it may be programmed in 20 ms increments between 20 ms and 980 ms as described in PGRMC section 4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI), field <13>.

APPENDIX B: GARMIN BINARY OUTPUT FORMAT
In Binary Output mode, the GPS 17x HVS will transmit packets once per second. The record is sent at a default baud rate of 9600 baud, 8 data bits, and no parity. To turn this record on, use the PGRMC1 NMEA sentence as described in section 4 GPS 17x HVS Software Interface. Refer to the Garmin Device Interface Specification found in the Garmin Device Interface SDK for details on how to form and parse Garmin packets. At the time of this printing, these specs are available from the technical suppport section of our Web site: www.garmin.com/support/commProtocol.html. Records sent over RS-232 begin with a delimiter byte (10 hex). The second byte identifies the record type (33 hex for a position record, 34 hex for a receiver measurement and 72 hex for a satellite data record). The third byte indicates the size of the data. The fourth byte is the first byte of data. The data is then followed by a checksum byte, a delimiter byte (10 hex), and an end-of-transmission character (03 hex). Additionally, any DLEs (0x10) that appear between the delimeters are escaped with a second DLE. There is sample code at the end of this section that will strip off the DLEs and ETXs. RS-232 Packet: - 0x10 - 0x## - 0x## - data bytes - 0x## - 0x10 - 0x03 (DLE is first byte) (Record ID single byte) (Number of data bytes single byte) (See descriptions below) (2s complement of the arithmetic sum of the bytes between the delimiters) (DLE) (ETX is last byte)

The data bytes of each packet contain the record specified by the record ID. A description of each record follows.
GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 21
Satellite Data Record The satellite data has a record ID of 0x72 with 84 (0x54) data bytes. The data bytes contain data for 12 satellites as described below. typedef struct { uint8 svid; //space vehicle identification (132 SBAS(WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) ) uint16 snr; //signal-to-noise ratio uint8 elev; //satellite elevation in degrees uint16 azmth; //satellite azimuth in degrees uint8 status; //status bit-field } cpo_sat_data; The status bit field represents a set of booleans described below: Bit 2 Meaning when bit is one (1) The unit has ephemeris data for the specified satellite. The unit has a differential correction for the specified satellite. The unit is using this satellite in the solution.
This pattern is repeated for 12 satellites for a total of 12 X 7 bytes = 84 (0x54) bytes. The RS-232 Packet for the Satellite Record looks like: - 0x10 - 0x72 - 0x54 - 12 cpo_sat_data records - 0x## - 0x10 - 0x03 (2s complement of the arithmetic sum of the bytes between the delimiters) (DLE) (ETX is last byte) (DLE is first byte) (Record ID single byte) (Number of data bytes single byte)

Position Record The Position Record has a record identifier of typedef struct { float alt; float epe; float eph; float epv; int fix; double gps_tow; double lat; double lon; float lon_vel; float lat_vel; float alt_vel; float msl_hght; int leap_sec; long grmn_days; } cpo_pvt_data; alt epe eph epv fix Ellipsoid altitude (meters) Estimated position error (meters) Position error, horizontal (meters) Position error, vertical (meters) 0 = no fix; 1 = no fix; 2 = 2D; 3 = 3D; 4 = 2D differential; 5 = 3D differential; 6 and greater = not defined gps_tow GPS time of week (sec) lat Latitude (radians) lon Longitude (radians) lon_vel Longitude velocity (meters/second) lat_vel Latitude velocity (meters/second) alt_vel Altitude velocity (meters/second) msl_hght Height (mean sea level) (meters) leap_sec UTC leap seconds grmn_days Garmin days (days since December 31, 1989)
GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 23
DLE and ETX bytes: Sample C code to receive the two records should filter DLE and ETX bytes as described below: typedef enum { DAT, DLE, ETX } rx_state_type; /* Declare and initialize static variables */ static char in_que[ 256 ]; static int in_que_ptr = 0; static rx_state_type rx_state = DAT;. void add_to_que( char data ) { #define DLE_BYTE 0x10 #define ETX_BYTE 0x03 if ( rx_state == DAT ) { if ( data == DLE_BYTE ) { rx_state = DLE; } else { in_que[ in_que_ptr++ ] = data; } } else if ( rx_state == DLE ) { if ( data == ETX_BYTE ) { rx_state = ETX; } else { rx_state = DAT; in_que[ in_que_ptr++ ] = data; } } else if ( rx_state == ETX ) { if ( data == DLE_BYTE ) { rx_state = DLE; } } if ( in_que_ptr > 255 ) { in_que_ptr = 0; } }

APPENDIX C: CHANGING THE BAUD RATE IN GARMIN MODE
In certain cases, you may need to change the default baud rate of your Garmin GPS receiver while in Garmin mode. Follow these steps to temporarily change the baud rate. Refer to the Garmin Device Interface Specification found in the Garmin Device Interface SDK for details on how to form and parse Garmin packets. At the time of this printing, these specs are available from the technical suppport section of our Web site: www.garmin.com/support/commProtocol.html. 1. Turn off all requests by transmitting packet: id = IOP_RQST_DATA (0x1C) data = 0 (16-bit unsigned integer ) 2. 3. The GPS unit will respond by sending a packet with id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06) After you receive the above packet, transmit packet: id = IOP_BAUD_RQST_DATA (0x30) data = baud rate to change to (32-bit unsigned integer; for example, 38400) 4. The GPS unit will respond by sending a packet: id = IOP_BAUD_ACPT_DATA (0x31) data = highest acceptable baud rate closest to what was requested (32-bit unsigned integer; for example, 38361 decimal) 5. Determine the actual baud rate value from the data sent in step 4. This value will be within +/- 5% of the actual baud rate. (For example, the GPS unit might send a baud rate of 38361, which correlates to a baud rate of 38400). If the baud rate in step 5 is acceptable, transmit packet: id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06) data = IOP_BAUD_ACPT_DATA (0x31) 7. 8. 9. Sleep for a small amount of time, about 100 milliseconds, to make sure the packet in (6) was successfully transmitted to the GPS unit. Close the current connection to the GPS unit and immediately open a new connection with the new baud rate obtained in step 5. Immediately after establishing a connection, transmit packet: id = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A) data = IOP_ACK_PING (0x3A) 10. The GPS will respond by sending a packet: id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06) data = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A) 11. After you receive the above packet, transmit the same packet in step 9 again. id = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A) data = IOP_ACK_PING (0x3A) 12. The GPS will respond again with the same packet in step 10. id = IOP_ACK_BYTE (0x06) data = IOP_CMND_DATA (0x0A) 13. The baud rate has been successfully changed upon receiving the above packet. If the GPS unit does not receive these two IOP_CMND_DATA packets within two seconds, it will reset its baud rate to 9600.
GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 25
APPENDIX D: GPS 17X HVS AND WINDOWS SERIAL MOUSE ISSUE
Problem: It is possible for Windows to incorrectly interpret the NMEA 0183 output of the GPS 17x HVS as the output of a Microsoft Serial BallPoint Mouse. When that happens, Windows loads drivers for the Serial BallPoint Mouse. This causes the cursor to move erratically about the display, clicking, right-clicking, double-clicking, dragging and dropping displayed items as it goes. On Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you may not experience the problem if you wait until after the computer is booted before connecting the GPS 17x HVS to the serial communications port. This problem is not specific to the GPS 17x HVS. Any NMEA 0183 device connected to a Windows computers serial port is likely to cause this problem. Below are several possible solutions to this problem. If you wish to use a different navigation software application with your GPS 17x HVS, you will need to de-select the Binary Output Data option that is discussed in Solution 3 below. Solution 1: The easiest solution is to disable the Serial BallPoint mouse in the Device Manager. This solution assumes that you do not need to use a Serial BallPoint mouse with your computer. When erratic mouse movements occur, follow the steps below. 1. 2. 3. 4. Unplug the DB9 connector. Right-click the My Computer icon on your desktop and select Properties to open Device Manager. Go to the hardware tab of the resulting pop-up window and click on the Device Manager button. Right-click on Serial BallPoint Mouse and choose the option to Disable (NOT uninstall) this device.
