The iGS18 GPS Splitter is a one‐input, eight‐output GPS device. This product typically finds application where an input from an active GPS roof antenna is split evenly between four receiving GPS units. In this scenario, the iGS18 can be configured to pass DC from an RF output to the antenna input port in order to power an active GPS antenna on that port. The others outputs would feature a 200 Ohm DC load to simulate an antenna DC current draw for any receiver connected to those ports. Individual iGS18 work independently as a separate product.iGS18 can control the 8 output ports power state, can detect the output port voltage.

Pin definition: 1 +12V; 2 GND; 3 RXD; 4 +12V; 5 GND; 6 TXD; Note: RXD product iGS18 serial port connector TXD; product TXD connected to the serial port connector RXD. 2. Serial port parameters Open serial debug assistant software
Check the display of the receiving time, the sixteen band display, according to the sixteen system to send. Serial number view: Right‐click on "My Computer", select "Manage" Double‐click "Device Manager" and double‐click can see the connection port serial number is COM4. NOTE: You must insert the serial connector can see the serial number.
Connect the power to iGS18 can start off through the control port and a read port voltage (such as the output port and do not have electricity, port external power supply voltage can be read port).
(3) Calculation of power off and read voltage instructions Instruction consists of 8 hexadecimal format.
DLE STX CMD Parameter DLE ETX BCCH BCCL STX: 0x02 frame start flag; DLE: 0x10 transcoding, for use in the frame start or frame end flag before, if DLE equal to the value data appears in the frame, the data retransmission protocol requires one to represent distinction, that is represented by two consecutive DLE data, a DLE represents the transcoding; CMD: Communication instruction data type, including data communication instruction (0xF1) and control commands (0xF2) of two types; Parameter: CMD communication instruction data content, data length; ETX: 0x03 frame terminator flag (not included in the back of the validation data); BCCL: binary BCC check code low 8; BCCH: binary BCC code high 8. Then DLE, STX and ETX three hexadecimal constant, which is the first 1,2,5,6 These four numbers are the same, you need to calculate the CMD, parameters, BCCH and BCCL four hexadecimal number. Example: Let the second output port powered iGS18 remaining output port is not energized. (1) CMD calculation
Then determine the output port status instruction type instruction, CMD is the third number is 0xF2 ("0x" indicates a hexadecimal number).
(2) Parameter calculation (fourth number) This is the CMD communication command data content, calculation method: 2‐port powered remaining ports are not powered by the binary representation of 11,111,101 from the back followed by representatives of eight ports (1 port is the penultimate one) "1" indicates that no power "0" is energized, to be converted to hexadecimal "FD". (You can use the computer comes with the calculator, open the calculator click "view" select "programmers"). For binary input 1111 1101, converted to hexadecimal, then get the "parameters" calculation results, followed by analogy, if we want to make 4 port energized other energized so obtained for binary number 1111 0111, converted to hexadecimal "F7", then push to make 4, 6, 7 energized the remaining energized by binary number 1001 0111 conversion into hexadecimal number is "97".
(3) BCCH、BCCL Calculation
BCCH calculation: The CMD, parameters, DLE, STX four hexadecimal numbers and give the hexadecimal number penultimate position, if less than or equal to 9 then use that number plus 30, if more than 9 then use that number plus 37 to give BCCH; BCCL calculation: The CMD, parameters, DLE, STX four hexadecimal numbers and give the hexadecimal number of the penultimate one, if less than or equal to 9 then use that number plus 30, if more than 9 then use that number plus 37 to give BCCL.
Example: above the 2 port on the power of the "parameters" for 0xFD, then 0xF2+0xFD+0x10+0x03=0x202 0x202 countdown second is less than 0 less than 9 plus 0x30 is equal to 0x30 to get BCCH; 0x202 countdown to the first 2 less than 9 so plus 0x30 is equal to 0x32 get BCCL; Finally, to give 2 outputs energize the entire rest of the control command is not energized 10 02 F2 FD 10 03 30 32. Example: Let 4, 6, 7 serial energized energized not get to rest "argument" is 0x97, then 0xF2+ 0x97 + 0x10 + 0x03 =0x19C 0x19C countdown second equal to 9 equal to 9 plus 0x30 equal to 0x39 to get BCCH; 0x19C countdown to the first C (for decimal to 12) is greater than 9 plus 0x37 equals 0x43 to get BCCL; Finally, to give 4, 6, 7 port energized not energized the rest of the entire instruction is 10 02 F2 97 10 03 39 43.
Voltage command query: Judging instruction for voltage inquiry command, so the CMD 0xF1.
Don't set port on‐off so "parameters" does not need to compute the write, and then calculating the BCCH and BCCL, because voltage inquiry command is a fixed instruction so BCCH and BCCL also is only a fixed number of BCCH:0x30; BCCL:0x34, can be calculated 0Xf1+0x10+0x03=0x104, BCCH=0+30=30; BCCL=4+30=34. Finally get the voltage for the entire instruction inquiry 10 02 F1 10 03 30 34.
Now Demo output port 2 is energized the remaining ports is not energized, then the detection port voltage: Connection serial line and connect the power supply, open serial port assistant set parameters and uncheck show reception time, hexadecimal display, press to send the hex and click open the serial port, enter the above calculation 2 output port through electrical command click send, can see the serial number according to will receive feedback data proves the design success, now input voltage inquiry command, serial data reception will feedback is the port voltage values to hexadecimal form said and need to convert to decimal. Example:
Numerical see the port 2 is 0x1395 converted to decimal 5013mv energized state, the remaining ports have 0x0009,0x0004,0x0000, respectively 9mv, 4mv, 0mv is not energized.
Example: 2 output port through the rest of the electricity.
