Software Toolkit
The CD provided in the Starter Kit contains the BM_Ctrl and the STOREGIS, interface programs
used to monitor GPS/GLONASS performance and to assist system integrators in developing a
software interface for the NAVIOR-24S GPS/GLONASS module. These applications are described
in detail in Appendix C, BINR User's Guide and Appendix D NMEA User's Guide
BM_Ctrl and the STOREGIS run on the Windows 95/98/2000/XP platforms.
Quick start instructions for using the BM_Ctrl application to monitor the receiver’s performance are
given below.
1. Connect one end of the serial interface cable to Port “COM 1” of the interface unit.
Connect the other end of the cable to the COM port of your PC
2. Turn on the DC power source or plug in the AC/DC converter.
3. Insert the CD in the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
4. The BM_Ctrl program may be run directly from the CD or it may be copied onto your
computer’s hard drive. To run the program from the CD, initiate the Bm_Ctrl.exe file.
5. Use setting
СОМ
port
РС
according to Appendix B - BINR Tool kit User’s Guide
6. When the BM_Ctrl screen appears, the TX and RX indicators appear in the lower left
corner of the status bar. A blinking TX indicates that the PC is transmitting commands to
the receiver; a blinking RX indicates that the PC is receiving reports from the receiver. If
other of these indicators stop blinking, there is no activity. The PC COM port settings
appear in the lower right corner of this same status bar.
7. After a GPS/GLONASS antenna is connected to the receiver and the receiver has
achieved a fix position, the transmitted position reports, time, velocity, satellites tracked,
and GPS/GLONASS receiver status appears on the screen.
