Operation
Refer to GPSolution (Aviation)'s Help file by selecting Help | Contents from the main menu to see Help for
windows and their descriptions. Ensure you can see the Console and ASCII Messages windows by selecting
them under View in the main menu.
When the receiver is first turned on, no data is transmitted from the COM ports except for the port prompt. The
Console window displays a port name:
[COM1] if connected to COM1 port,
or
[COM3] if connected to COM3 port
Any of the above prompts indicate that the receiver is ready and waiting for command input.
If you find that GPSolution (Aviation) is unable to locate your EuroPak-15ab receiver, it may be that you
have previously used the SAVECONFIG command. In this case, try using a different COM port to
communicate to the receiver. Once communication has been established, issue a FRESET STANDARD
command. You should now be able to use your original communication port again.
WARNING!:
Ensure all other windows are closed in GPSolution (Aviation) when entering the
SAVECONFIG command in the Console window.
Commands are typed at the interfacing computing device's keypad or keyboard, and executed after issuing a
carriage return command which is usually the same as pressing the <Enter> key.
An example of a response to an input command is the FIX POSITION command. It can be entered like this:
[COM1] fix position 51.11635 -114.0383 1048.2 [carriage return]
<OK
where
[COM1]
keyboard and [carriage return] indicates that you should press the <Enter> key.
The above example illustrates command input to the base receiver's COM1 port which sets the position of the
base station receiver for differential operation. Confirmation that the command was actually accepted is the
appearance of <OK.
If a command is entered incorrectly, the receiver responds with:
<I
NVALID
WARNING!:
Ensure the Control Panel's Power Settings on your PC are not set to go into Hibernate
or Standby modes. Data will be lost if one of these modes occurs during a logging session.
