| Easy evaluation of Fastrax receivers |
 |
The Fastrax Mini Evaluation Kit is equipped with a 40 pin socket for Fastrax IT(nn), UC430 and UP501 Application Boards and a JST system connector for Fastrax UP300 antenna modules. Easy module evaluation of the different GPS receivers can be done by simply changing the application boards or by connecting the UP300 and cable to the system connector.
The Fastrax Mini Evaluation kit is furthermore equipped with two (mini-B) USB connectors, a reset switch and a programming switch for firmware upgrades. PPS signal is available from a pin header and the general I/O lines can be probed from a 40-pin socket connector if needed. The GPS antenna signal is obtained by connecting an active antenna to the MCX rf connector of the Application Board. The Fastrax UP300, UC430 and UP501receivers do not need an external antenna as they are already equipped with an internal patch or chip antenna.
Fastrax provides one USB cable in the sales package. The USB needs drivers to be installed on the PC. This driver is included in the sales package on a CD, but it can also be downloaded from the Fastrax support pages:
