Page 4: Configuration Options
PRODUCT PRINCIPLE The main aim of the BlueTexGPS is to provide personal navigation and a back office positioning solution combined in one unit. This is achieved by integrating a GPS receiver, a Bluetooth chip and a Mobitex radio modem in the BlueTexGPS. - Page 5 This has the benefit of minimizing the radio traffic and saving precious battery power. The 3 byte payload can be set to any user defined value. In the BlueTexGPS, the payload is used for indicating the status of the unit for the back office system. This status could say “normal operation”, “parked car”or “other obstacle”...

Page 12: Bluetooth Link
BLUETOOTH LINK The BlueTexGPS is connectable over Bluetooth via the serial port profile. The raw NMEA v0183 data is directly forwarded from the GPS-receiver to the Bluetooth serial port. The GPS data is sent once every second at 9600 bits/second, 8 bit, no parity and one stop bit. -
