Kongsberg Seatex DPS 232

DPS 232 is a GNSS based position reference system which takes
positioning to the next level for secure and robust solutions exerting GPS and
GLONASS. DPS 232 features technology that is one step ahead, and the solution is
prepared for future systems.
DPS 232 is based on a dual frequency GPS/GLONASS receiver and offers the best
possible combination of GNSS signals for demanding operations in a challenging
environment. The addition of GLONASS to GPS significantly increases satellite
availability, provides robust integrity monitoring and results in more precise solutions,
particularly in highly obstructed environments. It is designed for 24/7 reliable operation
year after year.

The DPS unit communicates with external equipment through RS-232 and RS-422 serial lines. The number of serial lines with input of DGNSS corrections is only limited by the number of available communication ports. Output data are position, time and velocity to navigation computers, dynamic positioning systems etc. No hardware or software handshake is used on the serial lines. Heading from a gyrocompass or similar device is also necessary.

Position determination DPS Engine comprises an "All in One" signal processing core with advanced algorithms and true parallel processing of all available signals including SBAS (e.g. WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS and GAGAN). DGPS/DGLONASS corrections from different sources are combined by the unique MULTIREF capability. There is no practical limitation to the number of reference stations handled by the DPS Engine. DPS 232 provides full decimetre accuracy with High Precision Services. DPS 232 has a built-in autonomous real-time quality control feature continuously monitoring the quality of the calculated position. Alarms and warnings are activated if critical tolerances are exceeded or if position quality degrades.

19" rack-mounted keyboard with trackball and Rack rails is included.
