The Versatile Satloc SLXg3
The Satloc SLXg3 is a DGPS receiver designed for multiple applications,
including air, ground, marine, and GIS. SlXg3 supports the following
differential types: SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, and others), OmniSTAR, L-Band, *Beacon,
and Satloc's patented e-Dif.
*Beacon is only available on the SLXg3 Combo
How It Works
The SLXg3 receiver applies a differential correction signal to GPS called
DGPS (Differential GPS). This increases the accuracy over GPS alone. Whereas a
GPS signal provides accuracy on the order of 10 20 meters, the SLXg3
differential correction increases the accuracy to less than 1 meter, depending
on the type of differential used.
The Satloc application you are using the receiver with then uses this highly
accurate signal to drive its guidance software.
Features & Benefits
- Sub-meter position accuracy With SLXg3, your accuracy is typically within
1 meter (3 feet), as long as you have good quality differential data. And with a
selection of differential options to choose from, the SLXg3 brings you accurate
differential position data regardless of your global location.
- 12-Channel GPS Engine SLXg3 can track up to 12 satellites at one time,
increasing your accuracy.
- Frequent position updates The SLXg3 receives a GPS location signal 5 times
per second, ensuring a real-time GPS solution.
- COAST technology Satlocs patented COAST technology works with Beacon,
SBAS (WAAS, EGNOS, and others), and OmniSTAR and minimizes position drift when
not receiving continual differential messages. COAST will therefore mask short
periods of differential outages (up to half an hour or longer!).
- Dual serial ports for NMEA, RTCM, and Satloc messages the SLX receiver
supports Satloc binary messages and 9 different NMEA types GGA, GLL, VTG, GSV,
RMC, GSA, ZDA, GST, and RRE. NMEA is a standard format used to communicate
between receivers and auxiliary devices (guidance systems, PC, yield, monitor,
etc.).
