Q – How can I be sure that the configuration will be saved for the
subsequent power cycle?
A – The surest method is to query the receiver to make sure you’re happy
with the current configuration, by issuing a $JSHOW<CR><LF> command
(if not make the necessary changes and repeat). If the current
configuration is acceptable, issue a $JSAVE<CR><LF> command. Wait for
the receiver to indicate that the save is complete. You may power the
receiver down and issue another $JSAVE if you feel it’s necessary,
however, it is not required.
Q - What is the best software tool to use to communicate with the Seres
and configure it?
A - We use two different software applications at CSI Wireless for this
application:
•
SLXMon – Available from the CSI Wireless Satloc Web site. This application
is a very useful tool for graphically viewing tracking performance, positioning
accuracy, and more. As this utility uses the binary messages supported by the
Seres, these messages will be output after the application has been closed. To
turn these messages off, it’s easiest to remove power from the Seres. For this
to be successful, do not save the configuration from within SLXMon, otherwise
the output of the binary messages will also be saved. Should this happen,
issue the $JOFF command to stop the output of all binary and NMEA
messages.
•
HyperTerminal – Available on all Windows 95, 98, and ME. This tool is
useful as it allows you to easily configure the Seres by directly typing
commands into the terminal window. The output from the Seres is shown
simultaneously. Ensure that when using HyperTerminal that it is configured to
use the correct PC communication port, baud rate, and that the local echo
feature is on (to see what you are typing).
