Running the FirstGPS Starter Kit
When the FirstGPS Monitor main window appears, shown on page 17,
the GPS engine is ready to start.
To launch the GPS engine (FirstGPS library):
• Select Initialize / Start GPS.
If the application fails to initialize, a
startup failed
message is
displayed in the status bar on the bottom left of the main
window. If this occurs, please check that:
– The COM port settings are correct in the application
settings.
– The serial cable is connected between Port 1 of the MPM
and the PC’s COM port.
– The MPM kit is powered up with a correct DC power
source.
To stop the GPS function after the GUI has been running:
• Select Initialize / Stop GPS.
This shuts down the FirstGPS library and the MPM. You can
then exit the GUI.
Note – If the GUI is still running when the MPM unit is disconnected
from the power source, you must restart the GUI application.
