Using a Serial Harness
On the G610 display module, GPS communication occurs automatically over a CAN bus. If using a non-ARO machine type with MS Series receiver, use CAN GNSS communications. If using an ARO machine type with MS Series receiver, use serial GNSS communications.
To enable the G610 display module to use serial GPS communications, add the following line of code to the master.txt file:
$ GPS Over CAN =0
This line of code disables the on-board software from using the CAN bus for GNSS communications.
ReferenceTo set up a G610 display module for and MS990 receiver, refer to Special Instruction, REHS2992, "Installation and Configuration of the Cat® Terrain v5.0 On-board Software", "Setting up an MS990 Receiver".
