Retrieving the GPS Location of Your Unit
Retrieving the GPS Location of Your Unit
With the optional GPS USB key and the provided GPS utility, you can
retrieve the last known latitude and longitude coordinates of your unit.
In addition to viewing the GPS information on-screen, you can copy it to
the Clipboard in two formats: a text string or a URL link. The text string
contains the GPS coordinates as well as a date and time stamp. Once the
information is in the Clipboard, you can paste it to any document or test
report (in editable sections). If your unit is connected to the Internet, you
can even directly paste the URL link to a Web browser to locate your unit
on a map.
Note: Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows 8.1 Pro.
To retrieve the GPS location of your unit:
1.
If necessary, turn on your unit and wait for the startup sequence to
complete.
2. Ensure that the GPS USB key is connected to your unit.
