OPERATION 

 
Operation of the 

G-SynQ

 Evaluation Kit is straight forward.   

For operational details of the M12+ receiver contained in the 

G-SynQ 

the user is referred to the  M12 User’s Guide. Basic 

connection details are as follows: 
 

1 -

        The 2 meter serial cable is connected between the 

            Interface Assembly and the serial port on the host 
            computer.   

 
2 -

        (Optional) The 2 meter 1PPS coax is connected  

            between the RCA jack on the back of the Interface 
            Assembly and whatever equipment is being used 
            to monitor the 1PPS pulse (oscilloscope, time inter
            val analyzer, etc.) 
 

3 -

        The 15 meter Interface cable is connected between 

            the 

G-SynQ 

antenna and the Interface Assembly.  

            The cable may be run in either direction, the 
            connectors on both ends are identical.  
 

4 -

        The DC power plug is plugged into the Interface   

            Assembly, and then the power supply is plugged 
            into any convenient 110/240 VAC source. Note that 
            the power supply is supplied with four mains  
            connectors, allowing it to operate almost anywhere 
            in the world with the proper adapter installed. 
 
As soon as power is applied, the 

PWR

 LED on the front 

panel should illuminate.  Also, the 

1PPS

 LED will illuminate 

for several seconds as the M12+ receiver goes through it’s 
initialization routine.  Once complete, the

 1PPS

 LED will be-

gin flashing at a nominal 1 Hz rate.  Note that this 1PPS out-
put is generated by the internal real time clock and will not 
be accurate until the receiver has achieved a fix.  It is, how-
ever, an indication that the system is hooked up properly 
and that the receiver is going through its’ normal house-
keeping routines.
