1-2 Acutime 2000 Synchronization Kit User Guide
Introduction
1
To integrate the Acutime 2000, the OEM only needs to add a standard
serial interface port on the host system and develop a software
interface. Commonly used interface protocols, such as NMEA 0183,
and the software interface tool (the Timing Receiver Monitor),
simplify this task, minimizing the engineering costs associated with
integrating the Acutime 2000.
1.2 Acutime 2000 GPS Smart Antenna Features
The Acutime 2000 has many features common to previous products
in the Trimble family of smart antennas, including:
• an 8 to 36-volt DC power supply with protection against
reverse polarity.
• Trimble's advanced multi-channel GPS receiver architecture,
including:
• the reference oscillator
• the synthesizer and IF circuits
• the digital signal processing hardware
• a microprocessor
• the serial interface circuitry
• a patch GPS antenna with a proprietary pre-amp design for
excellent performance against jamming signals.
• a sealed, waterproof connector supporting both the power and
interface connections.
