Figure 6.2 GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld Bluetooth host connections
In Figure 6.2 the dashed arrows indicate the client devices—for example, the laptop or
PDA—connecting to the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld, which is the host device.
The Bluetooth profile (or service) used for the connection is shown between the
arrows, for example the Serial Port service is used when outputting GPS data from the
handheld to another device.
The solid arrows indicate the flow of information between devices. The GeoExplorer
6000 series handheld can output GNSS data to client devices that connect to the
handheld using a Bluetooth serial port. When a laptop computer or office computer
connects to the GeoExplorer 6000 series handheld and selects the File Transfer service,
files and information can be exchanged to and from either device.
When a client device connects to the Serial Port service provided by the GeoExplorer
6000 series handheld, applications on the handheld can use the pre-defined host serial
port on COM9 to provide host services to the client device. For example, to provide
GNSS positions from the integrated GNSS receiver to another device, use the GNSS
Connector software to redirect the NMEA output to COM9.
