Easy evaluation of Fastrax receivers
The Fastrax Mini Evaluation Kit is equipped with a 40
pin socket for Fastrax Application Boards and a JST
system connector for Fastrax UP300 and Fastrax
UP130 antenna modules. Easy module evaluation of
the different GPS receivers can be done by simply
changing the application boards or by connecting the
Fastrax UP300 or Fastrax UP130 with a cable to the
system connector.
The Fastrax Mini Evaluation kit is furthermore equipped
with two (mini-B) USB connectors, a reset switch and
a programming switch for firmware upgrades. PPS sig-
nal is available from a pin header and the general I/O
lines can be probed from a 40-pin socket connector if
needed. The GPS antenna signal is obtained by con-
necting an active antenna to the MCX rf connector of
the Application Board. The Fastrax UP receivers do not
need an external antenna as they are already equipped
with an internal patch antenna.
Fastrax provides one USB cable in the sales package.
The USB needs drivers to be installed on the PC. This
driver is included in the sales package on a CD, but it
can also be downloaded from the iSuite SDK Develop-
ers page at: http://isuite.fastrax.fi/downloads.html
Suitable PC softwares are either terminal programs for
NMEA, Fastrax GPS WorkBench for iTalk or Sirf Demo
for Sirf binary. The Sirf Demo can be requested from
[e-mail] while the Fastrax GPS WorkBench
can be downloaded from:
