2.2.2 Scanning GPS device
After the memory is cleared or saved, the message
<
SCAn gPS
> is shown. The next 10 seconds the
ASC3 scans the serial port to receive the time of
day from the GPS device. The baud rate is 9600. If
the GPS device is connected, the ASC3 waits as
long as it needs to receive a proper time packet
from the GPS. After the time is received the ASC3
is ready to select the program.
In order to stop the GPS scan press the yellow button PB2 (2). Now you can set the time of
day manually.
Attention:
If the wrong time of day is shown (e.g. 2 hours late), you have to adjust the offset
to the UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). This is done in the parameter setup <
gPS
>.
