System Configuration

Raw data output

The Leica MX 9400N receiver can be configured for raw data output using the "CDU" program as follows.

Receiver Port Config:

Set the interface parameters for the receiver. QPS advises 19200 or as high as possible, 8, N, 1 for port 1 (CDU port).

Receiver Port Assign:

Control port = 1, Raw Data port = 1, RTCM port = 3, Equipment port = None.

Receiver Raw Data Control:

Nav Results = Off

Raw Measurements = Compressed Type 3

Almanac / Ephemerides = Yes

Constellation = No

Differential = Off

External Event = 0000

Beacon Receiver = No

Time Recovery = No

Full Debug = No

Partial Debug = 0000

Position output

The Leica MX 9400N receiver can be configured for position output using the "CDU" program as follows.

Receiver Port Config:

Set the interface parameters for the receiver. QPS advises 19200 or as high as possible, 8, N, 1 for port 1 (CDU port) and port 2.

Receiver Port Assign:

Control port = 1, Raw Data port = 1, RTCM port = 3, Equipment port = 2.

NMEA Message Control:   Port = Equipment

Message ID = 021 (Computed Position)

Interval = 1 sec

Select Add To List, press Enter.

NMEA computed positions are now output to port 2.
