Gps - Keysight N9923A FieldFox User Manual

GPS

GPS (Global Positioning System) allows you to 'stamp' each data trace with your
physical position in latitude/longitude/elevation format. This can be useful when
making measurements on cell towers or other antennas at remote locations.
NOTE This feature is usable ONLY with the GPS receiver that is shipped with Microsoft
"Streets and Trips" and "AutoRoute". The GPS receiver is NOT available from
Keysight. Only the GPS USB receiver is used with the FieldFox. Therefore, it is NOT
necessary to purchase the very latest version of the map software.
 GPS can be used in all FieldFox modes.
 Your GPS settings can be saved with Preferences. Learn more on page 135.
