ChaPter 1 IntroDUCtIon
The RX370p is a smart antenna that tracks GPS and SBAS (WAAS and EGNOS) signals. The RX370p provides
sub-meter performance with 4.9 ft (1.5 m) accuracy 95% of the time. It utilizes COAST
TM
technology during
differential outages. The RX370p is also capable of using e-Dif
®
and L-Dif
®
technology.
featUres
The RX370p has several new features that will enhance the product’s performance.
The primary features include:
• 2 RS232 serial ports
• LED
• Radar-simulated pulse output
• CAN communication
LED
The RX370p uses one tri-colored LED:
• Red indicates the power is on
• Amber indicates a GPS lock
• FlashingGreen indicates DGPS is being acquired
• Green indicates a DGPS solution
Radar-Simulated Pulse Output
The radar-simulated pulse output provides accurate ground speed. The RX370p uses pin 12 for the speed out
pin. Pin 12 will output a square wave with a 50% duty cycle. The frequency of the square wave varies directly with
speed. 94 Hz represents a speed of 1 meter per second, or a 28.65 pulse per foot traveled.

CAN
The RX370p features Controller Area Network (CAN) to handle communication between CAN-based devices. The
RX370p supports a selection of NMEA 2000 messages that can be broadcast on a CAN bus. The following table
provides a listing of the NMEA 2000 commands that are used.
