Data Logging
Select Configure / Data Logging to configure a data logging option.
You can log position fix data to a file in two different formats:
• Tab-delimited ASCII text
• Industry-standard NMEA ASCII text
Settings
Select Configure / Settings to configure the FirstGPS Monitor
parameters. The descriptions of the parameters in the Application
Settings window follow:
• MPM Port – the serial communication port number to which the
MPM unit is connected through the RS-232 interface.
• Application Port – The output protocols port settings. This must
be a port different from the MPM port. The PC must have at
least one more serial port (in addition to the one used for the
MPM port) to use the Output Protocols feature.
• Append port # to logs – Select this check box to append the
MPM port number to the log file names, if any log options are
enabled through the Configure | Data Logging menu item.
• Sync PC time to UTC – Select this check box to synchronize the
local PC time to UTC, once the MPM unit has started running
and the exact time is known.
• Load BBRAM on start – This option enables loading the
BBRAM file to the FirstGPS library when connecting to the
MPM unit. The BBRAM file contains the GPS system data
such as:
– the almanac
– ephemeris
– UTC
– IONO(sphere) information
Loading the current BBRAM file allows for faster TTFF.
