Power Distribution Module (PDM) for the W1314A Receivers

The PDM provides power from the vehicle's battery to a
single or multiple receivers. Alternatively, you can power
receivers from the IEC power outlets (cigarette lighter). On
the rear of the PDM is the power cable that attaches to the
battery and connections for up to four receivers. On the
front of the PDM (see Figure 13 on page 32) you'll find the
following:
• On/off switch
• The ignition sense switch, if enabled will sound a warning
when the ignition switch is turned off. The sound warning
will repeat every minute and, after approximately 20
minutes, the power will be stopped to the attached
receivers. This gives you time to close the drive- test
software and power off equipment. If ignition sense is in
the off position, the PDM will operate independently of
the vehicle ignition.
If the PDM is on and the vehicle ignition is off, the battery will drain in
CAUTION
as little as one hour.
• One fuse per receiver to protect receiver power output.

These can be replaced using an automotive blade- type
5 amp fuse.

Refer to “Installing the PDM in the Vehicle" on page 186 for

more information about PDM in- vehicle installation.
Using a Combiner antenna connection (Agilent W1314A)

Use a combiner to obtain signals from two different
antennas.
For some options of receivers, a single antenna cannot
provide coverage for all available bands. These receivers are
supplied with two antennas and a combiner. In situations
where multiple bands need to be scanned, you will need to
use the combiner to provide adequate RF signal strength.
The combiner and cables add insertion loss, slightly reducing the
NOTE sensitivity of the receiver.
Connect the receiver to the combiner unit using the SMA

(M) to N- Type (M) cable. Then connect the two antennas to
the combiner unit using the SMA (M) to N- Type (F)
connector adapters. Refer to Figure 14 on page 34.

Figure 14 Detailed connection information
Connecting a single E645xC receiver

The Agilent digital receiver can be connected directly to the
serial port of your laptop. The direct serial port connection
provides RF measurement information and GPS coordinate
results.

If your PC does not have an RS- 232 serial port you can use
a serial to USB convertor. Agilent recommends the Agilent
E5805A (USB/4- port RS- 232 Interface Module). When using
other USB interface models, ensure that they support HS
serial communication.
Refer to Figure 15 on page 35 for typical serial port
connection (this diagram does not include a GPS antenna).

Serial port
Figure 15 Serial port connection for Agilent digital receiver
Connecting multiple E645xC receivers

When you configure multiple receivers, only one receiver
(the master receiver) is physically connected to the
computer and is able to supply input from the GPS. You
attach an external GPS system (unless it has internal GPS)
to the master receiver only. The other receiver(s) receive
their GPS signal from the master receiver. If other receivers
contain internal GPS systems, their GPS is ignored.
If your PC does not have an RS- 232 serial port you can use
a serial to USB convertor. Agilent recommends the Agilent
E5805A (USB/4- port RS- 232 Interface Module). When using
other USB interface models, ensure that they support HS
serial communication.

To connect multiple E645xC receivers:

1 Attach one end of a short cable to the RX LOOP IN

Indoor Setup
Overview
This section contains instructions for setting up a portable
or indoor system using the W1314A receiver. Always charge
all batteries before beginning a survey.
The indoor hardware includes:
• A standard backpack
• Two batteries (one battery is fitted with a power booster
module)
• One Agilent W1314A receiver
• One timing module (1PP2S output)
• Cables and connections
The timing module provides a 1PP2S signal for the receiver
measurements.
Setting up the timing module

Before the timing module can be used, the 1PP2S output
needs to be calibrated against GPS timing signals. This can
take between 4 and 8 hours depending on GPS signal
strength.
Follow this procedure to calibrate your timing module:
1 Install the GPSMon1 software on any compatible laptop or
PC. Refer to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
2 Connect the timing module to your laptop using the
RS232 port. Refer to Figure 22 on page 48.
1 The GPSMon software and documentation can be found in the following

directory and folder:
C:\Program Files\Agilent Technologies\E6474A-X\Drivers\GPSMon
Double click on GPSMon.msi to start the installation process.

while still providing power during the timing calibration
process.1
7 Position the GPS antenna where is can easily obtain at
least four strong GPS signals over the whole training
process. This is known as the warm- up period.
8 Ensure the antenna, and any other equipment, is
adequately protected from adverse weather conditions.
9 When the calibration process is completed the timing
module will indicate a locked status. Refer to Figure 24
on page 50.
1 The battery is charged at the same time as the timing module is being trained.
However the re-charge time for the battery is increased when connected to the
timing module.

Timing module status
At least four satellites
Figure 24 GPSMon software interface at the end of the timing process
Do not remove power from the timing module during calibration and
CAUTION
while configuring your hardware. Doing so will lose GPS satellite lock
and the calibration process will have to be re-started.
If the battery attached to the timing module does need replaced during
calibration, follow the procedure; “How to switch batteries during
calibration" on page 51.
The amount of time that you can use the trained timing
module depends on how long you had the timing module
locked onto a valid signal.
For example, if you have trained the timing module for four
hours then the recommended period of use for collecting
valid indoor data would also be four hours. Similarly if the
module is trained for 8 hours then you can collect data for 8
hours.

How to switch batteries during calibration

If, during calibration, you need to change the battery supply
for the timing module, follow this procedure:
1 Connect the AC adaptor power supply to the booster
cable charging port.
2 Ensure the AC power is on.
3 Carefully remove the battery from the cable.
4 Replace the battery with a fully charge unit.
5 Remove the AC adaptor power supply.
Cable connections for indoor hardware

Once the timing module has been calibrated, you can
connect the hardware for indoor measurement. Refer to
“How to add and configure an indoor map" on page 98 for
more information on configuring the E6474A software.
Refer to Figure 25 on page 52 for cable connection
information. This diagram does not show the backpack and
battery pouches.
Do not disconnect power to the timing module after the calibration period.
NOTE This may cause the lose of the timing synchronization 1PP2S signal.

your hips. The waist belt should always remain on your
hips, even after the harness is adjusted.
3 Tighten up the shoulder straps until the pack feels
comfortable. The weight of the pack should be carried on
your hips for maximum comfort. The shoulder straps help
stabilize the pack on your body.
4 Connect the chest strap. You can change the vertical
position so that the strap fits comfortably across your
chest. The sternum strap reduces shoulder fatigue and
increases mobility by pulling the shoulder straps inward.

How to reset the 1PP2S output on the timing module

The timing module is factory configured to provide a 1PP2S
timing pulse. If, however, the timing pulse has been changed
to 1PPS1, then use the following procedure to change the
timing module output.
This procedure requires the GPSMon software to
communicate with the timing module. Refer to the timing
module manufacturer’s instruction for installing and
configuring the GPSMon software.
1 Connect the timing module to your laptop
2 Provide power to the timing module using a battery or AC
mains

Views
A view is a highly flexible user interface component that is
used for displaying data items available from configured
devices. As with projects, views can be created even if
devices are not physically connected to your laptop.
The E6474A is supplied with a comprehensive set of custom
and blank views. These views have been designed to be used
when performing the most common tasks. However, if you
have a need for a particular view, you can create a new view
in Design Mode .

Use Your System 4
Full details on how to create a new view in Design Mode are

provided in the online help.
There are two types of view - common views and device
bound views.
Common Views This is a view that contains no data items.

However when you want to capture data you can add any
data items from more than one device. This is useful if you
wish to compare similar results reported from different
devices.
Device Bound Views A device bound view is a view that

contains particular data items from a particular device. The
data items on this type of custom view are 'bound' to this
view.
When you record data in capture mode, only data from the

Mapping
You must have a valid mapping license to use the mapping features
NOTE (Agilent E6474A option 040 MapX Mapping License or Option 045 with
E747x Real-Time Mapping License Option 160). Contact your local Agilent
representative for more information.
The mapping features provided in the E6474A are based on

the MapXtreme mapping engine. Therefore, if you are
familiar with using MapInfo tools, then the mapping features
should be familiar.
Knowledge of MapInfo tools is not required to load and
configure maps in the E6474A.
The map also supports the addition of cell locations based
on a file generated using the cellsite importer. Refer to
“Adding a cellsite database to a map" on page 92 for more
information.

Once you have added your map(s), you will need to select
measurements to plot on the map as you drive- test your
network.
You may experience performance issues if you try to plot too many data
NOTE items on the map. As a general guideline, four measurement results, with
offsets, on a single map is a recommended amount of items, although the
map does support plotting many more if required.

Adding a cellsite database to a map

Before you can add a cellsite database to a map you must
get your data into the right format. The correct format (XML
file) is produced using the cellsite importer.

Use Your System 4
The cellsite importer is a utility for taking a source cellsite

data file and mapping this source data to a master list of
cellsite fields within the E6474A application. This is done by
creating a cross- reference between the source data items
and the data fields in the master list. The cellsite source file
is an ASCII TAB delimited file containing raw information
about the cellsites. It contains information about latitude,
longitude, cell name and sector widths and more. Once a
cross- reference file is created, it can be used to transform
many source data files into the required XML output format.
How to use the cellsite importer

Follow these steps:
1 Select Tools > Cellsite Importer. The cellsite importer
opens. (Figure 67).

Events
Overview
An event is a powerful and flexible way of monitoring and
highlighting drive- test problems and issues. Using the event
wizard you are able to build events that can show problem
areas as they develop during your testing processes.
Using the Add Event Wizard you can quickly build a set of
triggers around particular event data sources. These triggers
can then initiate a series of actions (play a sound, display a
text message or display a marker). Event action display can
be controlled during data logging so you can focus on
particular system issues as they develop. Once an event has
been added to your project or file, it is automatically added
to a range of views. These views are:
• Line Chart
• Map
• Protocol
• Spectrograph
• Surface
• Tabular History
When events are created they are added to your event
library. To copy an event from the library into your active
project or file, you use the Add Event Wizard.

package the system for return to Agilent Technologies.
Please notify Agilent Technologies before returning your system for

NOTE service. Any special arrangements for the system can be discussed at that
time. This will help Agilent Technologies repair and return your system as
quickly as possible.
Warranty repair
If the system is still under warranty or is covered by an
Agilent Technologies maintenance contract, it will be
repaired under the terms of the warranty or contract. If the
system is no longer under warranty or is not covered by an
Agilent Technologies maintenance plan, Agilent Technologies
will notify you of the cost of the repair after examining the
unit.
When a system is returned to Agilent Technologies for
servicing, it must be adequately packaged (see “Preparing the
system for shipping" on page 133) and have a complete
description of the failure symptoms attached.
When describing the failure, please be as specific as possible
about the nature of the problem. Include copies of additional
failure information (such as receiver or computer failure
settings, data related to system failure, and error messages)
along with the system being returned.

by electrostatic discharge. The carton must be large enough to allow 3 to 4 inches on all sides of the
system for packing material and strong enough to accommodate the weight
of the system.
Surround the equipment with 3 to 4 inches of packing material, to protect
the system and to prevent it from moving in the carton. If packing foam is
not available, the best alternative is S.D-240 Air CapTM from Sealed Air
Corporation (Commerce, California 90001). Air Cap looks like plastic sheet
filled with air bubbles. Use the pink (anti-static) Air Cap to reduce static
electrical damage. Wrapping the system several times in this material will
protect the system and prevent it from moving in the carton.

adhesive tape and mark it “FRAGILE,
HANDLE WITH CARE”.
6 Retain copies of all shipping papers.
Cover electrical connectors to protect sensitive components from

CAUTION
electrostatic damage. Instrument damage can result from using
packaging materials other than the original materials. Never use
styrene pellets as packaging material. They do not adequately cushion
the system or prevent it from shifting in the carton. They may also
cause system damage by generating static electricity.

f Turn on power to the receiver and verify that the LED
sequence is correct (refer to the Agilent E6474A Help
for more information).
g Turn off power and snap the receiver into the
mounting plate.

Your system is now ready for configuring in the E6474A

Drive Test Software. Refer to the E6474A Getting Started
Guide (E6474- 90085 - which can be found in Help >
Library).
Installing the Mounting Plate

Install the receiver’s mounting plate as follows:
1 Locate a flat surface of the vehicle to which the mounting
plate can be securely attached.
Do not locate your receiver near a heat source or warm location. Excessive
NOTE heat may effect performance and reliability of the receiver.
2 Mark the holes for the #12 mounting screws on the

mounting surface according to the hole pattern of the
plate (refer to Figure 113 on page 185).
3 Drill the holes, using a 3/32” (2.5mm) drill bit, or the
metric equivalent that accommodates the screw.
4 Attach the mounting plate to the vehicle, using the
hardware provided.

Figure 113 Receiver Mounting Plate
Attaching the Receiver to the Mounting Plate

The E6474A can be attached to the mounting plate in either
direction. Before you attach it, determine which direction
best fits the available space. For example, if space is tight,
mount the receiver as shown in Figure 114 on page 186 to
minimize the space used at the rear of the receiver. The
orientation shown in Figure 114 also provides the best
protection for cables.
It is recommended that you connect cables before mounting
the receiver, if possible.

Figure 116 Cabling the PDM
Connecting the PDM to the Vehicle's Battery

The PDM connects via the red and black cables to the
positive and negative terminals of the battery. The red cable
connects to the positive terminal through a fuse block. The
fuse block should be located as close to the power
connection point as possible. The blue cable connects to the
ignition run circuit to provide ignition sense to the PDM. See
Figure 117 on page 189.
If the ignition sense feature is not used, the blue cable should be

Mounting the E645x receiver

Use the following guidelines for installing the Agilent E645x
receiver:
• Locate a flat surface of the vehicle to which the base
plate can be securely attached.
• Attach the base plate to the vehicle using the hardware
provided.

Antenna Installation
Installation guidelines
• All antennas must be spaced at least 18 inches (45.7 cm)
apart. Plan the layout before drilling any holes.
• A magnetic- mount antenna may be mounted on any
suitable metallic surface, paying attention to the routing
of the cable. However, avoid areas of high vibration. Also
avoid mounting the antenna near a roof luggage rack. (The
rack could block the signal.)
• For permanent- mount antennas, choose a location with
access both above and below the antenna- mounting
surface; this is required for installing fasteners and for
routing the antenna cable.
• For permanent- mount antennas, use silicone sealant to
prevent water leakage between the antenna base and the
mounting surface.
• The GPS antenna must be located outside of the vehicle
with a clear view of the sky.
• Choose a horizontal mounting position for the GPS
antenna.
