GPS Data Tracking
Bluetooth equipped NITON XRF Analyzers are capable of communicating
with GPS modules and saving GPS coordinates with every reading. Follow
the Bluetooth connection instructions found in the Users Manual to scan
for and connect to a Bluetooth enabled GPS device.
Once connected, the GPS unit sends out a number of signals that can be
read. The analyzer will display the relevant information from the GPS after
connection, as shown in
Figure 2-25
As shown in Figure 2-26 , these coordinates can be viewed in the Data screen
in entry positions eight, nine, and ten. (Scroll down to reach these fields.)
When the results are downloaded using the NDT software the GPS
coordinates are also stored and downloaded in data entry fields eight, nine
and ten.
