SLOTLESS GPS
The Slotless GPS Adapter (SGA) provides GPS packaging for any computer which has a
location to accept a 3.5” disk drive. The SGA is a carrier board that is designed to
mate with a Trimble SK2/SK8 (Lassen), Trimble ACEII/ACEIII, Navman Jupiter, Canadian
Marconi SuperstarII, Motorola M12, or Motorola GT/UT/VP ONCORE GPS receiver. The SGA and
GPS receiver assembly easily installs in a 3.5” disk drive bay. The SGA requires only
+5V while providing signal level conditioning and keep-alive power to the GPS receiver.
Two serial communication ports can be configured for either RS232 or RS422 signal levels.
Two additional serial connectors are available for special requirements. Differential
drive is provided for the time-mark pulse (1PPS) from the GPS receiver. The SGA requires
only +5V and GND from a standard disk drive connector to operate. This means that the SGA
can also be used in a stand-alone enclosure with a +5V power supply. Options are available
for serial fiber-optic communication, fiber-optic time pulse (1PPS) output, and a +12V
wall mount power supply.
Single quantity development kit prices shown below include SGA integrated and tested
with desired GPS module, magnetic mount antenna with 4 meter cable, development software
toolkit for selected GPS module, and design reference manual in electronic format for the
selected GPS receiver. The development kit is a total GPS solution for the PC/104
bus using the GPS receiver selected.
