English GPS Ports Configuration Using the GPS Ports Configuration utility, you can ask MobileMapper CE to output data messages to another device through the GPS auxiliary output port or to the application running on MobileMapper CE through the GPS VSP output port (VSP=Virtual Serial Port; this port is also known as COM2). Using this utility, you can therefore: • Enable or disable the GPS auxiliary output port. • Change the settings of the GPS auxiliary output port. • Read the settings of the GPS VSP output port (these set- tings cannot be changed). • Define the content of the unique output message sent to both the GPS VSP output port (this port is always enabled) and the GPS auxiliary output port (if enabled). Follow the instructions below to output a message via COM1: - Tap on , then Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Ports Configu- ration. - In the GPS Auxiliary Output pane, check the Enable Mes- sages option and then make sure "COM1" is selected in the Port field. - Tap Configure Port to configure the selected port. Enter its baud rate, number of start and stop bits and set its parity and flow control parameters. Then tap OK. - To read the settings of virtual port COM2, tap Port Status in the GPS VSP Output pane. You can only read these settings and not change them. - Tap on the NMEA tab on top of the screen. 44

GPS Ports Configuration
Using the
GPS Ports Configuration
utility, you can ask Mo-
bileMapper CE to output data messages to another device
through the GPS auxiliary output port or to the application
running on MobileMapper CE through the GPS VSP output
port (VSP=Virtual Serial Port; this port is also known as
COM2).
Using this utility, you can therefore:
•
Enable or disable the GPS auxiliary output port.
•
Change the settings of the GPS auxiliary output port.
•
Read the settings of the GPS VSP output port (these set-
tings cannot be changed).
•
Define the content of the unique output message sent to
both the GPS VSP output port (this port is always enabled)
and the GPS auxiliary output port (if enabled).
Follow the instructions below to output a message via COM1:
-
Tap on
, then
Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Ports Configu-
ration
.
-
In the GPS Auxiliary Output pane, check the
Enable Mes-
sages
option and then make sure “COM1” is selected in
the
Port
field.
-
Tap
Configure Port
to configure the selected port. Enter its
baud rate, number of start and stop bits and set its parity
and flow control parameters. Then tap
OK
.
-
To read the settings of virtual port COM2, tap
Port Status
in
the GPS VSP Output pane. You can only read these set-
tings and not change them.
-
Tap on the
NMEA
tab on top of the screen.
