Select the Ports drop down field and select the port to be configured. Port selection may affect the available message types and configured rates.

Set for SmarTrax option is available for the ROS device output port. Select this option to automatically configure the device output for use with a Raven SmarTrax steering system.

The available port output message types and rates are displayed in the lower portion of the GPS Output tab. Select the slider buttons and drag the button to adjust the slider to set the desired message rates. Set the slider to 0 Hz to shut off the corresponding message. Shut off any messages not required for output to other system components to ensure the best possible performance during field operations.

Select the baud rate drop-down field and select the output communication rate for the ROS device. If connected to a Raven 600S, the baud rate will be locked at 115200 output on the connected port (typically Port A).

Note:  Some systems or components may require specific baud rate settings to receive messages sent from the ROS device. Please refer to the documentation provided with optional or external components for additional information on required communication settings when setting up ROS for use with optional devices.
