The CG2-SHANTY is a CompactPCI® based GPS receiver board, allowing to determine the geographic position (including speed and velocity), and to synchronize a system with the global time (UTC).
Often industrial computer systems need synchronization to a precise time standard. A solution to this problem would be any radio controlled clock. Unfortunately, most regions have their own local transmitter standards. Hence, for universal use (e.g. if systems are mobile or destined for export), a GPS based clock is preferable.
The CG2-SHANTY 3U Eurocard is provided with a high performance receiver engine continuously tracking all satellites in view for a time accuracy better than 1us and horizontal accuracy better than 3m. The receiver is compatible with passive or active antennas and supports the NMEA-0183 data protocol, thus allowing nearly any GPS application program to be used with it.
The CG2-SHANTY module lends full GPS functionality to any CompactPCI® system. If GPS technology can solve a problem, this board is a reliable and economic choice.
