Connecting the devices

To use the devices together you need to send NMEA messages over serial and PPS messages from the INS to the LiDAR. 

This can be done simply using a Z+F adapter cable and the right connectors on the INS user cable. If you wish to use 

your OxTS INS with the Z+F LiDAR you can purchase the adapter cable by emailing 

sales@oxts.com

 

and quoting the part 

number 14C0214A.
If your user cable does not have the right connectors, modify the cable so that it has two 9-Way connectors correctly 

wired for serial and for digital I/O. These are connected directly to the adapter cable which connects straight into the 

LiDAR.
