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 configuration 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 Configuration DIP switch  
The configuration DIP switch on the front panel provides the ability to configure the Jupiter  
20 module, offering flexibility depending on the specific 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 specified below. Refer to the Jupiter 20  
Data sheet for more information about the functionality of specific pads. The receiver  
operating settings will not change after moving the position of a configuration 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 reconfiguration  
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  
LA000510C © 2006 Navman NZ Ltd. All rights reserved. Proprietary information and specifications subject to change without notice.  
7
 
 
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  
first 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 flashing 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 office 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 reflect off metal or coated  
glass. These reflections 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 file 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.

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  
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.  
LA000510C © 2006 Navman NZ Ltd. All rights reserved. Proprietary information and specifications subject to change without notice.  
13  
 
 
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) configuration  
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.

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

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 significantly 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: 1Hz  
• Maximum detectable rate: 4kHz
