Overview
SYSTEM INTEGRATION
The Motorola Oncore receiver is an intelligent GPS sensor intended to be used as a
component in a precision positioning, navigation or timing system. The Oncore
receiver is capable of providing autonomous position, velocity, and time information
over a serial TTL port. The minimum usable system combines the Oncore receiver,
antenna, and an intelligent system controller device.
Interface Protocol
Description
INTERFACE PROTOCOL
The Motorola Oncore receiver has up to two TTL serial data ports. The first port is
configured as a data communications equipment (DCE) port and provides the main
control and data path between the Oncore receiver and the system controller. The
second port is for RTCM DGPS correction input (M12+ and GT+ only). Refer to table
below for the interface protocol parameters. To connect the Oncore to an RS-232
port, one must supply circuitry to convert TTL to RS-232 and RS-232 to TTL.
The I/O port operates under interrupt control. Incoming data is stored in a buffer that
is serviced by the Oncore receiver's operating program. This buffer is serviced every
1.0 seconds.
