Digital Yacht GPS160 USB - DIY TriNav GPS, GLONASS & Galileo Sensor
The Digital Yacht GPS160 USB is a high-performance positioning sensor designed for exceptional accuracy and reliability. It utilizes GPS, Glonass, and Galileo satellite systems to provide precise positioning data. With its TriNavT technology, this sensor combines all satellite data for optimum accuracy, typically achieving sub 1m accuracy. The device can be configured as a dedicated GPS, Glonass, or Galileo only device, offering flexibility for various applications.
The GPS160 USB variant comes with a 5m USB cable, making it easy to connect to a PC, MAC, or Linux system. The device is self-powered from the USB source, eliminating the need for external power. When installed, it creates a virtual COM port on the host PC, allowing navigation programs to receive positioning data seamlessly.
Featuring a sophisticated anti-spoofing algorithm, the GPS160 USB ensures robust positioning performance and interference rejection. It offers user-selectable baud rates of 4800, 38400, and 115200 through simple internal DIP switches. The device supports multiple formats of NMEA data output, including datum information, which can be configured using the internal DIP switches.
The GPS160 USB has an update rate of up to 18Hz, providing smoother plotter track displays. It boasts ultra-low power consumption (<20mA) at 12V DC, making it suitable for extended use without draining the power source. The sensor also offers professional system (ECDIS) support with datum sentence structure (DTM/GBS/GNS/GRS/GSA/GST).
Installation options include puck installation or fitting to a 3rd party industry-standard 1" x 14TPI threaded mount, ensuring compatibility with various setups. The device is designed for marine applications, offering reliable and accurate positioning for boating and navigation purposes.
