CSI GBX Pro

Hardware Setup

1. Connect the receiver to the antenna by coaxial antenna cable if it is not already connected, and ensure that that the receiver has ample power.

2. Ensure that the antenna is tracking corrections from an MSK Radio Beacon. The easiest way to do this is to use the antenna's automatic frequency scanning when first powering on the receiver

a) To do this, enter the [SETUP] menu, and select the option [AUTO BX SEARCH]

Note: The beacon automatically selected by this scan will be saved to the receiver's memory and used automatically in the future, until either the scan is executed again, or until a new beacon is specified manually. Thus, it is not necessary to scan each time the bacon is used, provided it is still operating in the same general area.

b) A scan can be performed again in the event that the beacon is lost to scan for the next nearest beacon.

3. Enter the [Setup] menu, then select [Options] then [NMEA ON/OFF]. This menu allows the enabling or disabling of various NMEA messages. The only ones which are necessary are the GGA, GSV and GSA messages. All others should be disabled.

Software Setup

4. In Carlson Field, no further setup is necessary to make use of the CSI GBX Pro. Simply use the other Carlson Field functions as normal. Note however, that the elevations reported by the CSI GBX Pro are MSL (Mean Sea Level).
