Features
• The computer used to run the RTDS software is Internet-
accessible through a static IP address and one or two port
numbers.
• Several instances of the RTDS software can be run on the
same computer, meaning the same computer can serve as
data relay for several bases.
• Up to 100 rovers can receive data from a single instance
of the RTDS software. All rovers communicate with a given
instance of RTDS through the same port number.
Configuration
Modes
The diagram below summarizes the possible two cases of use
for the RTDS software with your system.
In Serial-to-GPRS mode, the base and the computer running
RTDS are at the same location since a conventional RS232
serial line is used to connect one to the other.
