Garmin 16-HVS GPS Receiver
1. Overview
FIGURE 1-1. Garmin 16-HVS GPS Receiver, Part Number 17215
The Garmin16-HVS is a complete GPS receiver manufactured by Garmin
International, Inc. The Garmin16-HVS has been configured by Campbell
Scientific, Inc. (CSI) to work with CSI dataloggers.
The CR1000, CR3000, CR800, and CR850 dataloggers use serial input
instructions and string handling functions to read, parse and store GPS data.
The CR10X, CR23X, and other dataloggers that support P15 or the SDM-SIO4
four channel serial interface can be used with the Garmin16-HVS. The CR510
and CR200-series do not support serial data input. See Appendix A for
information regarding the CR10X, CR23X, CR5000, CR9000(X) and SDM-
SIO4 applications.
The Garmin16-HVS includes the GPS receiver and antenna in the same
housing with one cable for the power supply and communications. The GPS
antenna must have a clear view of the sky. Generally the GPS antenna will not
work indoors.
The Garmin16-HVS is a 12-channel GPS receiver that supports FAA Wide
Area Augmentation System (WAAS) or RTCM differential GPS. Also
supported is the 1 Pulse Per Second (PPS) timing signal. The cable
connections provided with the Garmin16-HVS do not support differential GPS
correction. The cable can be modified by the user if differential correction is
required.
2. Wiring
Wiring for the Garmin16-HVS can be done with or without the RJ45
connector. When shipped from Campbell Scientific, the Garmin16-HVS has
an RJ45 connector attached to the cable end. The Garmin16-HVS can be
purchased with an RJ45 adapter with flying leads, an RJ45 to DB9 RS-232
adapter, and a magnetic mount. TABLE 2-1 is the wiring description for the
RJ45 adapter with flying leads. To use TABLE 2-2, the RJ45 connector must
be cut off the cable.
If the Garmin16-HVS is to be connected to a computer for setups, an RJ45 to
DB9 adapter is needed.

3. GPS Data
The Garmin16-HVS has several data formats available. The Garmin16-HVS is
configured to output the NMEA $GPGGA time and position string. It is
possible to configure the Garmin16-HVS to output other NMEA strings
including the $GPVTG track made good and ground speed string. See
Appendix D for details.
Sample NMEA $GPGGA data string:
$GPGGA,hhmmss,llll.lll,a,nnnnn.nnn,b,t,uu,v.v,w.w,M,x.x,M,y.y,zzzz*hh<CR><LF>

3 a N (North) or S (South)
4 nnnnn.nnn Longitude: Degrees, minutes, thousandths of minutes
5 b E (East) or W (West)
