Connecting To A Gps - Spectrum Technologies Field Scout CM1000 Operation Manual

Connecting to a
GPS Unit
The optional data logger function must be enabled using
the Field Scout software in order to record a GPS signal
(see Meter Settings p. 14).
The GPS unit must be plugged into the CM1000 and
working when the meter is first turned on. If a GPS signal
is found at startup, the logger will search for a GPS signal
for every reading. If no GPS signal is found when the
meter is first turned on, the meter will not search for one
when taking readings, thereby saving time when taking
readings. In this case the LCD will display the No GPS
Found message.
For each reading, GPS will be displayed on the bottom
right of the screen. If the GPS signal is lost during a
series of readings, or if the specified differential correction
is lost, the LCD will display LOG rather than GPS in the
lower right corner of the screen.

upon finding one, will again display GPS.
