GPS Configuration Submenu

In this submenu, you can activate the GPS function of the sensor and set the position determi-
nation frequency and transmission interval.

GPS Acquisition
This switch activates the GPS function of the sensor. The two parameters "Acquisition Interval"
and "Next Acquisition" then appear in the app.
Acquisition Interval
The acquisition interval determines the frequency of the GPS position determination. At each of
these points in time, an ultrasonic distance measurement or distance measurement sequence
is performed in parallel with the acquisition according to the settings in the ultrasonic sensor.
The data collected in this way is then transferred together in a longer payload (see the "Payload
Description" extra document, "Payload 2" section).
Note
The collection of GPS data requires relatively high power consumption. To ensure the longest
possible battery service life, select the right GPS acquisition interval for your application.
However, avoid "unnecessarily frequent" detection.
Note
The "GPS acquisition interval" operates independently of the "LoRa transmission interval"
optionally activated in parallel in the sensor (see chapter "LoRaWAN Configuration"). Each
interval includes the corresponding specific payload, which is transmitted when the interval
expires.
You can download the payload description and the payload decoder for your
WILSEN.sonic.level online from the product detail page for the respective WS-UC*-F406-B41-
* wireless ultrasonic sensor at www.pepperl-fuchs.com. See the Documents and Software
areas.
Next Acquisition
This parameter is used to define the time at which the next GPS acquisition and therefore also
the next transmission of the relevant payload occurs. In this way, acquisitions and transmis-
sions can also be defined by multiple wireless ultrasonic sensors in the particular application at
specific times of the day.
"Apply" Button
Any changes made to parameters are only transferred to the sensor once the "Apply" button
has been pressed; they are then saved to the sensor permanently.
