- 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 Garmin GPS 16x, is a complete GPS receiver and embedded antenna designed for a broad spectrum of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) system applications. Based on the proven technology found in other Garmin 12-channel GPS receivers, the GPS 16x will track up to twelve satellites at a time while providing one-second navigation updates and low power consumption.
Its far-reaching capability meets the sensitivity requirements of land navigation as well as the dynamics requirements of high-performance aircraft.
The GPS 16x is housed in a black, water-resistant case and designed to withstand rugged operating conditions. Size is a convenient 90mm diameter, by 45mm high, with 3mm metric screw holes for flush mounting. While the GPS 16x is designed as a "plug 'n play" GPS solution, the minimum system must provide a source of power and a clear view of the GPS satellites. The system may communicate with the GPS 16x via two RS-232 compatible bi-directional communication channels. Internal memory backup allows the GPS 16x to retain critical data such as satellite orbital parameters, last position, date, and time.
