- 12-channel GPS receiver tracks and uses up to 12 satellites for fast, accurate positioning and low power consumption
- Highly accurate measurement pulse output for precise timing measurements: one-pulse-per-second (1 Hz)
- Waterproof design allows continuous exposure to the prevailing weather conditions
The puck-like receiver is 2.4 inches in diameter and weighs just a few ounces, making it an ideal solution for applications where space is at a premium. The non-volatile memory does not require battery backup.
Configurable parameters include expected position, current time and date, and preferred position fix type (3D or Automatic).
