General Description
The PCM-GPS from WinSystems is a PC/104 module incorporating the Lassen IQ
12-channel parallel tracking GPS receiver from Trimble®. The GPS receiver is interfaced to an
on-board 16550 compatible DUART which receives the serial data sent by the GPS module.
The data output as supplied by the factory is in TSIP format making it compatible with all offthe-shelf mapping, navigation, and geocaching application software. Supplied C source code
assists the integrator in creating custom applications utilizing the PCM-GPS. The PCM-GPS also
supports the Trimble receiver’s high precision Pulse Per Second (PPS) output for use in critical
time keeping or synchronizing applications. The PCM-GPS also supports the CDMA and GPRS/
GSM cellular SocketModems® from Multi-Tech Systems®. These modems, when combined with
the GPS positioning data, can provide a “phone home” function to report its current location.

I/O Address Selection
The PCM-GPS requires eight consecutive I/O addresses beginning on an 8-byte
boundary for each of the two on-board serial channels. The jumper blocks at J4 and
J7 allow selection of the primary (GPS) and secondary serial (SocketModem®) port
I/O addresses respectively. Address selection is made by placing a jumper on the
jumper pair for the address bit, if a 0 is desired or leaving the jumper pair open if a
1 is required for the desired address. The illustration below shows the relationship
between the address bits and the jumper position and a sample jumpering for an
address of 300H.

To disable a port, place a jumper on all 7 positions 9Address = 000H.
Interrupt Routing
The PCM-GPS can source up to three unique on-board interrupts. Two are available for
each of the serial interfaces and a third for the Pulse Per Second (PPS) interrupt from
the GPS. The jumper blocks at J8, J9, and J10 allow for routing of the interrupts for
the SocketModem®, the GPS serial output, and the PPS source respectively.
To route an interrupt to a source, place a jumper at the desired IRQ position. Unused
sources should be left unjumpered. Each source must have its own unique interrupt.
