Chapter 5: Communicating with Third Party Applications
Available Applications
The DGPS signals of S-Lite can be shared with third-party mobile applications.
Any application designed to receive DGPS signals from an external receiver over an
RS-232 serial interface using NMEA 0183 messages will work with S-Lite. Various
connecting cables and kits are available for such applications as yield monitors, rate
controllers, laptops, PDAs, etc.
For successful communication, you must configure both the S-Lite console and the
external application to communicate in the same way. Many applications can use the
default communication protocol; however, some applications may require alteration
from the default settings.
Changing Default Settings
You can change the default communication settings from the
NMEA PORT SETUP item in the S-Lite Service menu.
• To change the NMEA message, select NMEA PORT
SETUP.
• To change the baud rate, select NMEA PORT BAUD.
The following options are available (default options are in bold):
1. NMEA PORT BAUD: 19200, 9600, 4800.
2. GGA RATE: OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
3. GLL RATE: OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
4. VTG RATE: OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
5. RMC RATE: OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
6. GSA RATE: OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
7. Z D A R AT E : OFF,.2 HZ, 1 HZ, 5 HZ
Note: If the higher rate of 5 HZ is selected then a faster NMEA PORT BAUD rate
should also be selected (ex. 19200) to facilitate proper communication.
