3. Packaging 3.1 HI-305N Introductions HI-305N is a GPS receiver with Compact Flash type I / mini-1394 interfaces and built-in active antenna for high sensitivity to tracking signal. Based on the Numerix Ultra low power consumption chip set and supports all functions (Single Sat updates in reduced visibility, Superior urban canyon performance, Foliage Lock for weak signal tracking, etc.).

HI-305N can receive good satellite signal without external antenna even using in car dashboard or side window. The only condition that you need external antenna is when HI-305N can not directly "see" the sky, For instance, when you are in the middle of a car, or any environments that GPS signal is blocked, the external GPS antenna will help to receive better GPS signal.

COM port & baud rate: 4800, N, 8, 1. Usually, the COM port is COM 2~COM 10 depending on the PDA type. User can use the testing program provided with the package to detect the COM port that HI-305N is using.
There is a small CD included along with every standard package. The CD contains certain test program and all related driver. Using the HI-305N in GPS applications, the user won't need install any driver except for the following circumstances: 1. USB driver: When use HI-305N in G-mouse mode with USB...
6. GPS Technical Data 6.1 ONE-PULSE-PER-SECOND (1PPS) OUTPUT The one-pulse-per-second output is provided for applications requiring precise timing measurements. The output pulse is 1usec in duration. Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec with respect to the start of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one- pulse-per-second output is maintained only when the GPS receiver has valid position fix.
The default receiver protocol is 4800bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and none parity. 6.3 NMEA OUTPUT MESSAGE SPECIFICATION The HI-305N supports NMEA-0183 output format as defined by the National Marine Electronics Association (http://www.nmea.org). The currently supported NMEA messages for GPS applications are:...
6.4 NMEA Messages The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. This standard is fully define in "NMEA 0183, Version 3.01" The standard may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org GGA - GPS FIX DATA Time, position and position-fix related data (number of satellites in use, HDOP, etc.).
