Using GPS 1000
Utility Version 1.0 The GPS1000 is pre-set at the factory to work with an Ag Leader yield
monitor system. Other applications may require special message
settings which can be changed with this utility. Refer to the
documentation for your software application and/or hardware to
determine its required baud rate and NMEA messages.
1. Connect the GPS1000 to a computer using either the Ag Leader
GPS1000 Mobile Logging or GPS1000 Auxiliary Power/Data
cable.
2. Insert the Ag Leader Software Suite CD into the computer CD-
ROM drive.
3. The CD Menu will now appear. Click on "Start GPS 1000 Utility
Program." The GPS 1000 utility program will now start.
4. Click on the "Connect" button below, then select the COM port and
the baud rate for the computer that you are connected to. The
correct baud rate should be 4800 unless you have previously
changed it on the GPS 1000.
5. The Messages tab will now be displayed. Once you have specified
the desired settings, click the "Send Settings" button to send the
changes to the GPS1000.
NOTE: The Messages tab does not display the current
configuration of the GPS1000, only the setting options that are
available and the recommended factory defaults.
6. The Serial Data tab will now appear and the selected NMEA
messages should now be scrolling down the screen as they are
output from the GPS1000. Click pause to stop the message sending
for easier viewing.
