3.1.1 Power switch (ON/OFF)
The switch on the front panel controls primary power to the Jupiter 20 receiver module inside.
The power status LED (see section 3.3) indicates status: if lit, the module has primary power
supplied. If the conguration DIP switch 5 is on and Jumper JB5/6 linked, the module’s
secondary supply SRAM and RTC will continue to be powered when the power switch is off.
Only removal of the DC power input at the rear of the unit will stop secondary power being
applied (assuming Jumper JB5/6 and switch 5 are correctly set). Having this secondary power
supply applied means that the Jupiter 20 will have a ‘hot start’ capability when primary power is
re-applied within 4 hours, and a ‘warm start’ thereafter, by maintaining last position, current time
and satellite ephemerides.
3.1.2 Conguration DIP switch
The conguration DIP switch on the front panel provides the ability to congure the Jupiter
20 module, offering exibility depending on the specic application. Refer to section 3.2 for
a description of the functionality of each individual switch, including the typical settings when
using the Jupiter 20 module.
3.1.3 Function LEDs
The four LEDs on the front panel indicate the current status of basic features associated with
the Development Unit. Refer to section 3.3 for a description of the function of each LED.
3.1.4 Reset switch
A reset push button is provided on the front panel to generate a receiver system hardware reset.
3.1.5 Clock out connector
The Clock out connector, located on the rear panel of the Development Unit, can be used to
provide module generated timing signals. Refer to section 3.4 for more detailed information.
3.1.6 Serial port 1
This host serial port is used to send and receive serial data. This port is used as the default, with
transmission in NMEA format at the rate of 9600 Baud. Use 9-pin D-subminiature connectors
with these serial ports.

Table 3-1 DIP switch settings
A brief description of the functionality of each switch is specied below. Refer to the Jupiter 20
Data sheet for more information about the functionality of specic pads. The receiver
operating settings will not change after moving the position of a conguration switch while the
Development Unit is operating. Pressing the reset switch, or turning the unit OFF and ON will
enable the settings to take effect in the receiver. The recommended method for reconguration
is to switch the unit OFF, modify the switch positions, then re-apply the power.
3.2.1 DIP switch 1 – GPIO3 /GYROIN input
DIP switch 1 interfaces with the GPIO3 /GYROIN pad of the module. The switch is typically
OFF, but has no effect with the standard module’s software. This switch can be enabled by the
internal switch SW3.1.
3.2.2 DIP switch 2 – GPIO15 /FR input
DIP switch 2 interfaces with the GPIO15 /FR pad of the module. The switch is typically OFF, but
has no effect with the standard module’s software. This switch can be enabled by the internal
switch SW3.2.
3.2.3 DIP switch 3 – BOOT from serial mode

8
LA000510C © 2006 Navman NZ Ltd. All rights reserved. Proprietary information and specications subject to change without notice.
DIP switch 3 interfaces with the BOOT pad of the module and allows the user to upgrade the
Flash memory. For normal operation the switch should be set to OFF. To boot from the serial
port the switch should be set to ON. This switch is enabled by the internal switch SW3.3.
3.2.4 DIP switch 4 – GPIO1/W_TICKS input
DIP switch 4 interfaces to the GPIO1/W_TICKS pad of the module. The switch is typically
OFF, but has no effect with the standard module’s software. This switch can be enabled by the
internal switch SW3.4.
3.2.5 DIP switch 5 – RTC backup power enable
DIP switch 5 provides control of the RTC backup power to the module. When set to the ON
position, the RTC backup power is applied to the module, allowing the RTC and SRAM to
continue being powered when the primary source is removed. The jumper JB5/6 must also be
in place for the backup power to be supplied. This power supply will be supplied to the module
even with the main power switch in the OFFposition.
3.2.6 DIP switch 6 – Antenna preamp power select (3.3 V or 5/12 V)
DIP switch 6 provides control of the antenna preamp voltage applied to the module. The
position of the switch determines the supply voltage (OFF = 3.3 V, ON = 5/12 V). The positions
of switches 7 and 8 also need to be considered when using the preamp function.
Note: the supplied antenna is a 3.3 V type.
3.2.7 DIP switch 7 – Antenna preamp power select (5 V or 12 V)
DIP switch 7 also controls the antenna preamp voltage applied to the module. If switch 6 is ON,
then switch 7 will determine the supply voltage to the active antenna (OFF = 12 V, ON = 5 V).
3.2.8 DIP switch 8 – Antenna preamp power enable
DIP switch 8 provides the ability to enable/disable the antenna preamp voltage to the module
depending on the antenna being used. Typically this switch is ON, enabling 3 V to be applied to
the active antenna supplied with the kit.

4.0 Operating instructions
This section provides important information for the evaluation of the Jupiter 20 GPS module.
Step-by-step instructions for connecting and operating the GPS development kit are included for
rst time setup.
4.1 Initial connection and operation
The following steps describe how to connect and operate the GPS Development Kit.
4.1.1 Install the supplied SiRFdemo on your PC:
1. Insert the supplied CD into the CDROM drive
2. Double click on the SiRFDemo software icon and follow the installation process.
4.1.2 Set up the hardware:
1. Connect the DC power adapter to the power input J1.
2. Connect the antenna cable to the SMA coaxial antenna connector on the rear panel of the
Development unit.
3. Connect the DB9 serial data cable between the PC serial communication port and the
Development Unit’s Serial Port 1.
4. Place the antenna in a site where a good view of the sky can be seen (refer to section 4.2 for
more detail).
5. Run the GPS analyser software on the PC. (Refer to section 4.4 for more details.)
6. Connect the power supply to a suitable AC outlet.
7. Turn the unit on using the power switch on the front panel to provide primary power to the
Jupiter 20 receiver. Once power is applied, the Power LED should be lit.
4.2 Positioning the GPS antenna
The GPS antenna should be located with a clear view of the sky for optimal reception of the
satellite signals. The 1PPS LED should begin ashing at 1 Hz once the receiver is powered
and has started receiving at least one satellite. This provides an indication of whether or not the
receiver is running.
Note: GPS signals may be severely attenuated or totally obscured by roofs, solid walls, dense
foliage, or even coated glass (found in many ofce structures and car windows). The
Development Unit should be outside, or on the roof of a building to effectively evaluate
receiver performance. With stationary developments, care should be taken to keep the
antenna away from the side of a building as GPS signals can reect off metal or coated
glass. These reections have a longer path than direct signals and can cause multi-path
errors.
4.3 Connecting an RTCM differential source
For debugging purposes, it is suggested that users log both the GPS and RTCM data
simultaneously. To allow the provision to do this, Navman can supply a software program called
Labmon.
The Development Unit, PC and the RTCM SC-104 differential correction source are connected
as shown in Figure 4.1. If RTCM SC-104 data needs to be logged at the same time it is sent
to the receiver, the OEM must supply a cable with three connectors to connect the RTCM
correction source to the Development Unit’s auxiliary port and to an unused serial port on the
PC. In this case, data is only logged when Labmon is invoked with le names as command line
arguments (refer to the Labmon application note LA010103). Logging and subsequent review of
the RTCM correction data often resolves performance or compatibility issues.

13
LA000510C © 2006 Navman NZ Ltd. All rights reserved. Proprietary information and specications subject to change without notice.
Figure 4-1 Development Unit test equipment
The Development Unit should be set up as shown in Figure 4-1 with only the RTCM correction
source connected to the receiver. If the RTCM cable is not connected to the receiver’s auxiliary
port, DGPS operation will not be possible. When RTCM data is being received the AUX LED will
be lit.
Note: the Development Unit may be connected to either the COM1, COM2, COM3, or COM4
serial ports and the RTCM differential correction data source connected either directly to
the receiver’s auxiliary I/O port, to one of the remaining serial ports of the PC, or to both
using an OEM-supplied three-connector serial cable.
4.4 Operating the GPS Analyser software
There are two software packages supplied with the GPS Development kit: SiRFDemo and
SiRFFlash. The VisualGPS program can be obtained free of charge from the VisualGPS website
(www.visualgps.net/VisualGPS/).
4.4.1 VisualGPS
VisualGPS graphically presents the serial data transmitted by the receiver. The receiver output
must be enabled in the NMEA protocol for this software to be used.
To enable the receiver output
1. Open the VisualGPS software installed on the PC.
2. Select the Settings>Communications tab.
3. When the Communications Settings window is displayed, select the correct COM Port and set
the Baud rate to 9600 Baud.
When this has been carried out, and the Development Unit is powered, raw NMEA data should
appear in the NMEA Monitor Window. For more detailed information on any of the analysis
windows, use the Help function in the top toolbar.
4.4.2 SiRFDemo
SiRFDemo software can provide analysis of receiver output in either SiRF binary or NMEA
protocols. When enabled in NMEA format, the only analysis provided is raw data being
transmitted by the receiver. While the module is transmitting serial data in NMEA format, it is
suggested that VisualGPS is used for analysis, rather than SiRFDemo.
To provide graphical presentation of the data, the receiver can be set to output in SiRF binary
format.

5.1.1 Pin 1 – DC power supply
This pin can be used to power at either 3.3 or 5 VDC for external devices used in the DR
operation. To modify the supply voltage, refer to section 3.5 for details of the jumper positioning.
5.1.2 Pin 2 – Heading rate gyro input
Table 5-1 details the gyro requirements. It is important to ensure that the rate gyro signals have
the following characteristics:
• Range: 0 to 5 V
• Output (no gyro rotation): 2.5 V
• Clockwise rotation of the gyro causes the output voltage to rise
• Maximum voltage deviation due to rotation should occur with a turning rate of 90º per
second or less

To set the receiver output to SiRF binary
1. Open the SiRFDemo software.
2. When the Data Source setup is displayed, select the appropriate COM port and 9600 Baud
from the drop down menu.
3. Select the Action menu and click on Open Data Source. If the Development Unit is powered,
and the serial port is connected to the PC, NMEA data should appear in the Debug View
window.
To change to SiRF binary, select the Action menu and click on the Switch to SiRF Protocol. This
should now present information in each window, similar to that of VisualGPS. Whilst enabled in
SiRF binary protocol, more of the analysis software’s functionality can be accessed. To switch
back into NMEA mode, select the Action menu and click on Switch to NMEA Protocol. Select
9600 for the baud rate and click on the Send button.
Note: settings, including the current output protocol, are reset if all power is removed from the
unit. For more information, refer to the SiRFDemo and SiRFFlash User Guides.
5.0 Jupiter 20 DR (Dead Reckoning) conguration
The DR connector on the rear panel of the Development Unit provides an interface with the
external inputs under DR operation. This functionality is only to be used when evaluating Jupiter
20 DR modules.
The connector is used for signals transmitted by:
• An angular rate sensor (gyro)
• A wheel ticks source
• A forward/reverse indicator
These signals are present on many late model vehicles and may be used to assist the DR
receiver in determining position accuracy during the loss of signal conditions. Direct connection
to the vehicle is not normally possible as the inputs need to be 3 V logic level signals.
Note: when using the Jupiter 20 DR version in a Development Unit, the front panel switches 1,
2, 3 and 4 should be isolated by turning the internal switches SW3 OFF. If the front panel
DIP switch 3 is still required, leave the internal switch SW3.3 ON.
5.1 DR connector pin conguration
The following sections describe the functions of the DR connector pins. Refer to Figure 5-1.

The gyro should be mounted so that its sensitive axis is as near vertical as practical. Deviations
from the vertical will reduce sensitivity for heading changes in the horizontal direction.
Experiments have shown that acceptable performance can be achieved with mounting
deviations of several degrees, but a better performance is achieved when the gyro is mounted
closer to vertical.

5.1.3 Pin 3 – Direction F/R sensor
Input from a signal that is normally at +0 V, but rises to +3 V when the vehicle is in the reverse
gear. Use of this signal is optional; if it is not used, the effect of occasional reversing by the
vehicle will not signicantly degrade navigation performance. To ensure minimum current under
backup power, be sure that this input is not pulled up external to the board.
If this signal is not connected, switch SW3.2 should be left on, with DIP switch 2 also on to
select ‘forward’.
5.1.4 Pin 4 – Reserved
5.1.5 Pin 5 – Speed pulses
The input to this pin is a pulse train generated in the vehicle. If this signal is derived from the
vehicle’s electrical system, external level shifting for this signal is required. The pulse frequency
is proportional to the vehicle velocity. These pulses, or wheel ticks, are generated in most
vehicles by the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), the transmission, or the drive shaft. System
design must restrict the pulses between 0 and 3 V.
Detection limits are as follows:
• Minimum detectable rate: 1 Hz
• Maximum detectable rate: 4 kHz
