The location submodule takes a snapshot of the current location and stores it in the runtime
database. You can update this snapsot:

and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the IX40 local command line as a user
with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive
Python session:
# python

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

3. Import the location submodule:
>>> from digidevice import location
4. Update the location object with the latest location data:
>>> loc = location.Location()
>>> loc.position
