CP30 Mobile Computer Reference Manual

9.4 GPS VIEWER

The CP30 Mobile Computer is equipped with a GPS receiver for obtaining location and
time information from the Global Positioning System (GPS). Since the mobile computer
does not come with any preinstalled navigation software, you may need to purchase
third-party navigation software separately.
Go to Start | CipherLab Utilities | GPS Viewer to open the Cipherlab GPS Viewer.
The GPS receiver hosted on the mobile computer uses COM 7 to output NMEA messages,
as long as the COM port is opened. In your application, open the COM port with the
correct configuration.
The table below lists the configuration of the integrated GPS receiver:

Note: For multiple GPS-enabled programs to access GPS data, tap Start | Settings |
System and select External GPS. Specify a program port and the correct hardware
port.
In order to speed up start-up times, we suggest you to download the ephemeris
information for initial setup. Go to Start | Settings | System and select GPS Manager
to update ephemeris.
