Interface board evaluation kit

Applicable receivers:  BD982

An evaluation kit is available for testing the receiver. This includes an I/O board that gives access to the following:

• Power input connector

• Power ON/OFF switch

• Four serial ports through DB9 connectors

• Ethernet through an RJ45 connector

  There are separate ethernet jacks for the BD970 and BD982 boards.

• USB port through USB Type A and Type B receptacles

• CAN port through a DB9 connector

• Two event input pins

• 1PPS output on BNC connector

• CAN / Serial port 3 switch

  To switch between serial port 3 and CAN, you must configure the receiver using the web interface or binary commands. If you do not set an option bit to make CAN the default, the receiver defaults to serial.

• Three LEDs to indicate satellite tracking, receipt of corrections, and power

The following figure shows a typical I/O board setup:

The computer connection provides a means to set up and configure the receiver.

Included with the BD982 I/O board is a small plastic bag that contains four standoffs. Screw these into the I/O board to coincide with the four corner holes of the receiver when seated on the J3 connector.

Current or prospective customers may obtain schematic drawings of the evaluation I/O board by contacting GNSSOEMSupport@trimble.com.
