Trimble SCOUTM GPS Receiver The Trimble SCOUTM receiver is a small, hand-held, battery-powered GPS receiver with three channels capable of tracking up to eight satellites simultaneously. With the receiver you can determine position, navigate, and store positions. Positions are stored individually (as waypoints) in memory. The receiver holds up to 100 positions in battery-backed up memory. The SCOUTM+ can store up to 250 waypoints, with 26 routes of 20 legs each.

The receiver contains all the position and navigation functions expected in a full-featured GPS receiver. It supports Military Grid Reference System (MGRS), Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM), Ordnance Survey of Great Britain (OSGB), and Latitude/Longitude coordinate systems. It provides navigation functions such as range, bearing, and cross-track error. The receiver contains 123 datums, including two additional userdefined datums.

Trimble SCOUTM and SCOUTM+

The SCOUTM receiver operates in seven languages: English, French, Italian, German, Japanese, Norwegian, and Spanish. Your receiver has a built-in antenna (above the display screen underneath the Trimble Navigation "sextant" logo) that receives signals from all GPS satellites that are visible from your position. Hold the receiver so that the logo is flat to the horizon, with a clear view of the sky. The receiver will automatically sort through and lock onto the strongest signals in view from horizon to horizon. (See Appendix E for an illustrated parts list for accessory kits.) The signals received from the satellites allow the powerful microprocessors in the SCOUTM receiver to compute the precise distance from the best satellites to your location, and through basic geometry, locate you in three dimensions: your exact earth coordinates and altitude. The exact time for your location is also calculated. In addition, when moving, your receiver precisely computes your speed of advance and direction of travel. Simply insert the coordinates of important map positions checkpoints, targets, obstaclesinto the waypoint memory, and you are ready to start navigating. The Navigation screen (NAV) incorporates a Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) as a steer-to indicator, giving you a visual representation of your position in relation to your desired track.

The Global Positioning System The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a major military satellite-based, radio navigation system developed by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). GPS consists of 24 satellites in 12-hour orbits. The satellites emit signals which can be tracked by receivers for positioning and navigation. The GPS system provides day and night, allweather, worldwide, 24-hour navigation capability.

Equipment Care The Trimble SCOUTM receiver has a robust design and should serve you well in all climates and military environments. As with most electronic instruments, you should exercise prudent care and treat this precision navigation device with respect. Here are a few helpful hints for care and handling. • When not in use, secure the Trimble SCOUTM receiver in the carrying case and slip it into your pocket, or other protected location. •

Use the lanyard provided to avoid accidentally dropping the receiver.

•

Do not immerse in water or solvents. Use a damp cloth to clean the unit. Use a lens brush to clean the window of sand or other material that could cause scratches.

•

Keep charged batteries installed at all times to maintain the waypoint and satellite almanac memory.

•

Cut out the Quick Reference Card, found in the front of this manual. Fold and place in the carrying case pocket.

•

Fill out and mail the warranty card, found in the front of this manual. The serial number of your receiver is located inside the battery compartment.

Batteries Four AA batteries power the SCOUTM receiver. Batteries can last up to 20 hours at four position fixes per hour (intermittent operation), and up to 5 hours continuous use when using the maximum update rate. Replace batteries whenever you see the Batteries low reminder and before storage. ---------------Batteries low... Please replace. ----------------

It is important to store the receiver with fresh batteries to save memory. If the receiver is left without batteries for more than 30 minutes, all memory may be lost. When storing the SCOUTM receiver for an extended period of time, install a fresh set of batteries. If unused, the batteries will maintain the memory for over a year. NOTE: Because battery life is variable, it's a good idea to have an extra set of batteries on hand whenever planning extended use of your SCOUTM receiver.

information which can be viewed at any time. (Just make sure that you hold down the ON/OFF key less than 4 seconds.) The bottom left side of the screen shows how many satellites are being tracked, each satellite indicated by a symbol. The battery usage is shown on the bottom right. You should use the Reset Hours command to reset this each time batteries are changed. See the procedure in the More Uses Screen section. Also shown on this line is the almanac warning, which is covered later in this section. If the key is released during the countdown, the SCOUTM receiver returns to the previous screen. To skip the 4-second countdown, press W while pressing the ON/OFF key. When the SCOUTM is turned off, all user-input settings, waypoints, and the satellite almanac are maintained in volatile memory. If batteries have been removed for more than 30 minutes, memory may be lost.

Satellite Almanac Collection The first time you use your Trimble SCOUTM receiver, or if the batteries are dead, or if it has been a long time since using the receiver, you may have to allow the receiver to read the latest almanac of information from the satellites. It takes at least 12.5 minutes of continuous reception to collect the entire almanac from scratch, but almanac updates are regularly read and stored in memory whenever the receiver is being used. ----Power OFF--( 2 seconds) Screenlight OFF A? = 2.3hr

Ç almanac warning To check the condition of almanac memory, press and hold the ON/OFF key briefly (less than 4 seconds) to view the Power Off/Status screen. If the A? almanac warning flag is shown, please allow the receiver to read the almanac by following this procedure: 1. Place on a flat surface with the antenna (under the Trimble sextant logo) parallel to the horizon, with an unobstructed view of the sky. Turn the receiver on. 2. Wait approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Check for the almanac warning flag. It should have disappeared. To minimize additional almanac collection, replace batteries whenever you see the Batteries low reminder and before storage.

2D or 3D solution and accuracy

In normal operation, the SCOUTM uses signals from four satellites to provide position fixes in three dimensions, including altitude. If only three SVs are available, the calculated positions are two dimensional (no altitude); the labels for data items related to altitude flash alternately with the message 2D. In this case, the accuracy of the fix depends 22370 - Rev. C

on an accurate estimate of the altitude, whether from the previous 3D solution or operator entry. The altitude shown should be verified or changed by the user. If the SCOUTM has been receiving signals from four SVs and loses contact with one of them, it switches from 3D to 2D operation. When 3D fixes resume, the SCOUTM resumes display of the GPS-calculated altitude.

Entering an Altitude to Aid 2D Fixes If only three satellites are available, the calculated positions are two dimensional (no altitude). In this case, the accuracy of the position fix depends on an accurate estimate of the altitude, whether from the previous 3D fix or by manual entry. 1.

Information Available on Screen Elevation (elv) - satellite's angle of elevation above the horizon from you current position. Azimuth (azm) - used to describe the location of the satellite from your current location, using north as a reference. User Range Accuracy (ura) - satellite user range accuracy. The URA is sent by the satellite and computed by the GPS receiver. Typical values range from 4 to 32. Lower numbers provide higher position accuracy. n/a - means that the signal is not available; generally indicates that the receiver is searching for the satellite. Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) - value determining the uncertainty of position. Good values are between 2 and 7. Again, a lower number provides better accuracy.

3. Press ↵ to open a selection for change. Then press V or W to see available options. Press ↵ to selection an option.

Coordinate Style Coordinate systems are used to describe a position on earth a curved, three dimensional surfacein a way that can be translated to the flat surface of a map. The SCOUTM receiver offers a choice of five coordinate styles: •

MGRS - Military Grid Reference System (default setting)

•

Lat/Lon Minutes (Latitude/Longitude Altitude)

•

Lat/Lon Seconds

•

OSGB - Ordnance Survey of Great Britain

•

UTM - Universal Transverse Mercator

Because each coordinate system resolves your position to within less than 100 meters, no particular system is more accurate than another. Your choice is determined by personal preference and access to maps or other geographical information. The Trimble SCOUTM receiver prime (or default) coordinate style is the Military Grid Reference System (MGRS). Once preferences are set, they remain until changed or the SCOUTM receiver is without battery power for longer than 30 minutes. At this point, the receiver will automatically default or reset to the prime style for coordinates and all other default settings.

MGRS - Military Grid Reference System The U.S. Army Military Grid Reference System is designated for use with the UTM grids. MGRS reduces the length of written coordinates by substituting several letters for several numbers. This prevents an error in location (worldwide) that could occur using numbers alone. 4 satellites MGRS (10 S) EG 56433 41510 60m

Lat Lon Seconds and Lat Lon Minutes The latitude/longitude coordinate system is based upon angular distance north or south of the equator (latitude) and east or west of the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England (longitude). This is usually expressed in Degrees, Minutes and Seconds. CHECKPOINT B N 37°47'38.9" W 122°12'12.8" 100ft

UTM Coordinates - Universal Transverse Mercator The UTM coordinate system is typically used on topographical maps. It is a worldwide coordinate grid that can be used anywhere between 84° north and 80°south latitude. Positions are shown in terms of how far north and east they are from a given reference point. This is known as northing and easting. An example screen follows: CHECKPOINT A UTM 10 543521 T 5132991 ±100ft

Mapping Datums A datum is a mathematical model of the earth's shape used by cartographers to draw maps. For the GPS-computer position to agree with a corresponding position on your map, the datum you select must match up with the datum used to create the map. This datum is usually found in the map legend or title block on the map. A list of the 123 datum options and two user-defined datums within the SCOUTM receiver is shown in Appendix A. Many modern U.S. maps are based on the WGS-84 datum, which is the default setting in your SCOUTM receiver. To change your datum to correspond with your map datum 1. From the SETUP index screen, select the mapping datum screen. 2. Press the ↵ key and scroll through the choices using the V and W keys. 3. When you reach the desired datum option, press the ↵ key to select it.

Use the switch range/type selection to specify the criteria used for determining when to switch from the current goal waypoint to the next goal (the next step in the route). These criteria may include • coming within a certain distance of a waypoint (a range), • crossing a line formed by a perpendicular to the trackline

at the goal, or • crossing a line formed by bisecting the angle between the

current trackline and the trackline of the next leg of the route.

When a step along a route is missed during navigation, such as by failing to come within the programmed switch range, the route may be commanded OFF and then re-activated at the following step to resume the route. When a route reaches its final step, it will keep the final step as the navigation goal, regardless of the switch criteria assigned. If the Set goal command is used while active on a route, an Are you sure? message shows as a reminder that the route is active. If the command is used anyway, the goal becomes a temporary detour goal, and the route will resume after a perpendicular switch criteria is met for that waypoint.

Reverse Route? 1. Deactivate the route (see above). 2. Press ↵ to reverse the route order. When this command is activated, the steps in the current route will be reversed. This will allow you to retrace your steps. The route cannot be reversed while the route is active.

Glossary

Appendix C - Glossary 2D, 3D Two-dimensional and three-dimensional positions. A 2D position fix provides coordinates in two dimensions, such as latitude and longitude. Elevation is assumed to be fixed. Only three satellites are required to provide a 2D position with a user-supplied elevation. A 3D position provides the elevation in addition to LAT/LON and requires four satellites. Almanac A reduced-precision subset of the ephemeris parameters. Used by the receiver to compute the elevation and azimuth angles of the satellites. Each satellite broadcasts the almanac for all the satellites. Azimuth Angle The angle of the line-of-sight vector, projected on the horizontal plane, measured clockwise from north. Channel Receiver hardware that is required to lock to a satellite, make the range measurements, and collect data from the satellites. Datum or Mapping Datum A mathematical model of the earth. Many local datums model the earth for a small region, for example: Tokyo datum, Alaska, NAD-27 (North American). Others, WGS-84, for example, model the whole earth. Differential GPS (DGPS) A positioning technique that uses two receivers: one (the roving receiver) at an uncorrected location, and the other (the reference station) at a known, fixed location. The reference receiver computes corrections based on the differences between its actual and observed ranges to the satellites being tracked. These data are transmitted to the roving receiver. The coordinates of the uncorrected location can be recomputed with great precision by applying these corrections. Elevation Mask The elevation angle below which a satellite is considered unusable. It is used to prevent 22370 - Rev. C

the receiver from searching for satellites which are obscured by buildings or mountains. Ephemeris A set of parameters that describes a satellite's orbit very accurately. It is used by the receiver to compute the position of the satellite. This information is broadcast by the satellites. GDOP, PDOP, TDOP Geometric Dilution of Precision, Position Dilution of Precision, and Time Dilution of Precision. GDOP describes how much an uncertainty in range affects the uncertainty in position. The GDOP depends on where the satellites are, relative to the user. A large GDOP means that a small error in range will translate into a larger error in the position. GDOP has two components (TDOP and PDOP). TDOP determines the uncertainty in the clock bias; PDOP determines the uncertainty of the position. PDOP is composed of HDOP and VDOP and typically has good values between 2 and 7. See HDOP. Geoid The actual physical shape of the earth, which is hard to describe mathematically because of the local surface irregularities and sea-land variations. GPS The Global Positioning System, consisting of the NAVSTAR satellites in six different orbits, GPS ground-control stations, and the user community. GPS Time The length of the second is fixed and is determined by primary atomic frequency standards. Leap-seconds are not used as they are in UTC. Therefore, GPS time and UTC differ by a variable whole number of seconds. HDOP, VDOP The horizontal and vertical components of PDOP. They describe how an uncertainty in range affects the horizontal position (latitude and longitude) and the vertical position (elevation). For 2D position, HDOP is the only important component.

Latitude, Longitude A topocentric, spherical coordinate system, whose coordinates are latitude, longitude, and elevation. Latitude and longitude can be expressed as degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS), or as degrees, decimal minutes (DM). L1

The primary L-band signal radiated by each NAVSTAR satellite at 1575.42 MHz. The L1 beacon is modulated with the C/A and P codes and with the NAV message. L2 is centered at 1227.60 MHz.

Monitor Station One of five worldwide stations maintained by the DoD and used in the GPS control segment to monitor and control satellite clock and orbital parameters. Corrections are calculated and uploaded to each satellite at least once per day. NAV Data The 1500-bit navigation message broadcast by each satellite at 50 bps on both L1 and L2 beacons. This message contains system time, clock correction parameters, ionospheric delay model parameters, and the space vehicle's ephemeris and health. This information is used to process GPS signals to obtain user position and velocity. 2 NMEA-0183 A standard established by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) that defines electrical signals, data transmission protocol, timing, and sentence formats for communicating navigation data among marine navigation instruments. PDOP See GDOP, PDOP, TDOP. PPS Precise Positioning Service. The GPS as available to the authorized user with cryptographic hardware and keys. PRN Pseudo-Random Noise. Each GPS satellite generates its own distinctive PRN code, which is modulated onto each carrier. The PRN code serves as identification of the satellite, as a timing signal, and as a subcarrier for the navigation data.

Glossary

Pseudorange A measure of the range from the receiver's antenna to the satellite. Pseudorange is obtained by multiplying the speed of light by the apparent transit time of the signal from the satellite. Pseudorange differs from actual range because the satellite and user clocks are offset from GPS time and because of propagation delays and other errors. Relative Positioning The process of determining the vector distance between two points and the coordinate of one spot relative to another. This technique yields GPS positions with greater precision than single-point positioning mode. Rise/Set Time The period during which a satellite is visible, that is, has an elevation angle above the elevation mask. A satellite is said to rise when its elevation angle exceeds the mask and set when the elevation drops below the mask. RTCM SC-104 Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services standard defined for generating pseudorange corrections and transmitting them from reference stations to differential stations. SA

SCOUTM+ Enhancements

Appendix F - SCOUTM+ Enhancements The software and hardware on the Trimble SCOUTM+ allow for the use of a direct-connect antenna and an RS-232 dataport. (See Appendix E.) The dataport responds to three types of protocol: NMEA-0183, RTCM SC-104, and TSIP.

NMEA Protocol The NMEA-0183 Standard is produced by the National Marine Electronics Association. The SCOUTM+ receiver uses Version 2.0, published January 1991. The NMEA-0183 Standard is primarily designed for marine instrumentation to communicate using an ASCII sentence library with one TALKER and one or more LISTENERS. The Standard also implies the use of EIA RS-422 serial protocol with TALKER and LISTENERS in parallel on a twisted pair. NMEA-0183 has also been partially adopted by other industries requiring a simple data protocol. It is therefore possible to find NMEA-0183 sentences being used for data transmission of position and direction using either RS-422 or RS-232 electrical protocols, as well as other more specialized telemetry links.

RTCM SC-104 Protocol The RTCM SC-104 protocol is a standard for sending and receiving differential GPS corrections developed by the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime-Special Committee 104. Your SCOUTM+ is differential-ready; that is, it utilizes differential corrections to calculate Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) positions.
