Generic (Non-Raven) GPS Setup
Select the Generic GPS option to configure the Viper Pro to communicate with the following receivers:

Note:
The DGPS receiver must be powered up and connected to the ‘GPS Receiver/DGPS’ connector
on the Viper Pro main interface cable (P/N 115-3001-011). The receiver must also output the GGA,
VTG, and either the RMC or ZDA NMEA messages to communicate properly with the Viper Pro.

Ports. The GPS Comm Port Setup screen displays.

receiver automatically.
a. If the field computer is able to receive messages from the connected receiver, touch OK to finish the
GPS Comm Port Setup.
b. If no communication is established, the Viper Pro will display a ‘Not Found’ message. Touch OK and
re-check the receiver and cables and repeat step 3.
If the Viper Pro is still unable to communicate with the receiver, refer to Chapter 13, Troubleshooting
the Viper Pro System, or contact the receiver manufacturer for additional assistance.
