Using GPS 1000
Plus Utility Version
1.0
The GPS1000 Plus 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 Plus to a computer using either the Ag
Leader GPS1000 Plus Mobile Logging or GPS1000 Plus Auxiliary
Power/Data cable.
2. Insert the Ag Leader SMS CD into the computer CD-ROM drive.
3. The CD Menu will now appear. Click on "Browse CD," then the
“Misc Folder,” now the GPS 1000 Plus folder will now appear.
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 Plus.
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 GPS 1000 Plus.
NOTE: The Messages tab does not display the current
configuration of the GPS 1000 Plus, 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 GPS 1000 Plus. Click pause to stop the message
sending for easier viewing.
7. Click on Exit to finish.
