TEST RPT
Test Rpt is a diagnostic tool which can be used to ensure proper operation of the GPS receiver and both the GSM
and Iridium transceivers. This option can also be used as a manual tracking mode where the user will strategically
enable Test Rpt and Send NormalPositionReports to SkyRouter on demand.
Enabling Test Rpt causes the HawkEye (PT) Plus to immediately power on the GPS receiver on and update the GPS
fix. The GPS information is updated continuously and displayed in real-time even if there is not a valid fix. As with
the Chk GPS option, it is possible to monitor HACC to determine if a valid fix is possible, except, once a valid fix is
obtained the GPS receiver will be powered off and fix information is displayed on the screen. Send the GPS fix
information to SkyRouter by pressing “Send”.
The test report is actually a NormalPositionReport and will be displayed in SkyRouter as such. Sending a test
reports noes not disrupt the configured Tracking interval/rate.
CHK-IN
Selecting the Chk-In option causes the HawkEye (PT) Plus to immediately send a “Check-In” event to SkyRouter
with a single press of a button.
When the Chk-In button is pressed a confirmation message will appear. Once the user confirms, the HEPT Plus
immediately sends a Check-In event to SkyRouter; GPS location is automatically attached to this event.
WAYPTS
Waypoints (also known as “Locations”) are GPS locations that identify and mark a specific geographical point on
the map, this point can be named for future reference. Selecting “New” causes the HEPT Plus to turn on the GPS
receiver and acquire a fix, several options are then offered: go back without further action, re-acquire a new GPS
fix, label/name the point, or save the waypoint. After the waypoint is saved, the user can also send it to
SkyRouter. The waypoint will appear on the SkyRouter map as “Locations”.
