3SAFETY AND HANDLING INFORMATION
•Always use caution when using the Gladiator ISN/GPS!
•Please refer to your specific product datasheet to determine which appropriate input
voltage to use.
•INS/GPS devices/units are sensitive scientific instruments containing shock and vibration
sensitive sensors. Excessive shock and/or vibration can damage these sensors and can
adversely affect sensor performance and unit output.
•Avoid exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Observe proper grounding whenever
handling the INS/GPS.
•Properly attach the connector and ensure that it has been wired correctly before applying
power to the INS/GPS.
•Units are shipped from factory in the following default settings, unless otherwise required
for customer application:
o100 Hz FULL Mode
o921,000 Baud Rate
o1 Stop Bit

4GETTING STARTED
This section contains directions and references for a quick start to using the INS/GPS.
For additional support, please contact the distributor representing your location. If there isn’t a local
representative for your location, please contact our Headquarters for assistance and someone from our
Sales Team will assist you.
The INS/GPS Software Development Kit (SDK) is an optional product to assist first time users of a Gladiator
INS/GPS. This kit provides the user everything they need to facilitate a rapid setup and test of the unit.
The SDK includes display software with user-defined options including the following components and is
seen in Figure 1:
•Turn-Key Solution for INS/GPS on User PC (all cabling/connectors/software included)
•Easy Integration of Direct INS/GPS RS-422/485 to PC USB Port
•Includes PC Display Software for INS/GPS
•Data Recording Capability
•Multiple User-Selected Field Options for Programming and Initializing the Unit
•Self-Test Button
•Power, Program/Run mode switches
•Antenna
Figure 1 Example SDK box with SDK to PC USB cabling, GPS antenna, and CD-ROM
If multiple units are purchased, the respective test data for each unit is placed on this CD for reference.

4.1 RS-422/485 to USB Power Supply and Converter Cable
Contained in the Software Development Kit is a complete RS-422/485 to USB Converter cable, including
power supply and Self-Test button (Figure 2). The power supply uses USB power.
An RS-422/485 to USB converter (requires additional drivers that are included in a CD-ROM) is also
included.
The SDK enables the user to quickly connect the INS/GPS to their PC to ease integration and testing.
Connect the RS485 (9 or 15-pin) cable to the unit and the USB cable to the PC. The user should not turn
on the power switch until all the software is installed.
Figure 2 Typical INS/GPS connectors include: 9-pin (L) or 15-pin (R) Glenair connector

4.2 Glamr Installation
4.2.1 Introduction
The LINX SDM-USB-QS-S module requires that device drivers be installed
on the host PC before they can interact. The drivers tell the PC how to talk
to the module. These drivers are for Windows 7, 8, and 10. The set for
Windows are the direct drivers, which offer program functions that allow
a custom application to directly control the module through the USB port.
Figure 3 SDK Installation CD-ROM

To install the Glamr SDK application, run the Glamr setup executable found on the CD-ROM sent with your
INS/GPS (Figure 4). SIMPLE

ATTENTION: Do NOT use the FTDI device driver that Windows 10 provides. It does not work with the
LINX product even though they are using the FTDI parts. The PID was changed so it is unique.
Installing Glamr will place a shortcut to the application on the desktop and in the Start Menu.
Figure 6 Glamr shortcut locations
The default Glamr installation directory is:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Gladiator Technologies
In addition to these shortcuts, the installation will also place a Glamr.ini file into:
C:\Users\”username”\AppData\Roaming\Gladiator Technologies\
NOTE: Plug the connector cable into the USB port before you turn the device power on to avoid
Windows loading as a mouse driver.
