Copernicus GPS Receiver     1 7

STARTER KIT     1

The Trimble GPS Monitor Tookit is designed to assist you in configuring your 
Trimble GPS receiver. The application works with a standard RS-232 serial interface 
or the USB interface supplied in the Copernicus GPS starter kit. 

TGM includes helpful features such as “Detect Receiver” to test a GPS receiver port 
for protocol and baud rate in the event that these settings are lost, the ability to log the 
output of multiple GPS devices simultaneously, and the ability send and view 
received raw data.

Prior to using the TGM application with a USB interface, you must first download 
and install the FTDI USB serial driver software (see instructions below).

The Copernicus GPS starter kit uses a USB 2.0 dual serial port emulator interface 
chip from Future Technology Devices International Ltd. (FTDI). Prior to using the 
TGM application with a USB interface, you must first download and install the FTDI 
USB serial driver software on your PC.
