9.1. GPS RECEIVER
The 9200 Mobile Computer is equipped with a GPS antenna for obtaining location and
time information from the Global Positioning System (GPS). Since the mobile computer
does not come with any preinstalled navigation software, you may need to purchase
third-party navigation software separately.
The GPS receiver hosted on the mobile computer uses COM 7 to output NMEA messages,
as long as the COM port is opened. In your application, open the COM port with the
correct configuration.
The table below lists the configuration of the integrated GPS receiver:
Serial Configuration
COM Port Settings
Baud Rate 4800
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop bits 1
Note: For multiple GPS-enabled programs to access GPS data, tap Start Screen |
Settings | System and select External GPS. Specify a program port and the
correct hardware port.
In order to speed up start-up time, we suggest you to download the ephemeris
information for initial setup. Go to Start Screen | Settings | System and select GPS
Manager to update the ephemeris.
