NMEA message
selection The GPS 2000/2100 has only the GGA NMEA string
turned on initially. It is the only message string that the
Yield Monitor 2000 needs for position data. If the user
wants to use the GPS 2000/2100 to provide speed to
the Yield Monitor 2000 or display speed on the GPS
2000/2100 itself, then the VTG message must also be
turned on. Depending on the proposed use of the GPS
2000/2100, other messages may need to be turned on.
See section 3-21 for more information on changing the
NMEA strings that are output.
Changing field,
data type, and
mark names The user can either change these names on the receiver
or use the GPS 2000/2100 Utilities program provided
with the system to enter the desired names.
Refer to sections 3 and 4, Operation and Software, for a
description of this process.
Harvest Follow these steps to set up the receiver for harvest operation:
Step Action
1 Attach the 10-foot coaxial cable inside the cab to the cable
connection on the receiver.
Important: Make sure the y-cable connecting the yield monitor
and the receiver is securely connected, and the two connectors
attached to the receiver are connected to the indicated ports.
2 Turn on the receiver.
Result: After a few seconds various types of information should
appear on the screen. After the unit becomes oriented, it will
indicate a number of satellites and whether it is receiving a
differential signal.
Note: The screen may take a few minutes to display data because
the unit must adjust to its location and acquire a good lock on
satellites and a differential source.
3 Verify whether the yield monitor is receiving data from the
receiver:
a)
Turn the yield monitor on.
b) Under the yield monitor SETUP key, make sure that a memory
card has been detected. See the Yield Monitor 2000 manual for
more information on setting up the yield monitor to log GPS
