Introduction
The MPC is a high performance, high accuracy, GPS receiver with fast data update rates and
integrated memory in its hard disk for data logging. The MPC’s front panel also features a Vacuum
Fluorescent Display (VFD) panel and keypad for on the fly configurations.

Fluorescent Display (VFD) panel and keypad for on the fly configurations.
Depending on which model you purchase, the MPC is capable of receiving and tracking the L1 C/A
code, L1 and L2 carrier phase and L2 P-Code (or encrypted Y-Code) of up to 12 satellites. Patented
Pulsed Aperture Correlator (PAC) technology combined with a powerful microprocessor make
possible multipath-resistant processing and excellent acquisition and re-acquisition times.

Once you connect the MPC to an antenna and power source, it begins operating as a fully functional
GPS system (see Chapter 2, Quick Start on Page 16 and Chapter 3, MPC Setup Considerations on
Page 18, for more information on this topic). Figure 1 shows the MPC without an antenna or
connecting cables.
