The history screen allows you to see the last 10 attempted position
reports and their associated data (time, lat, lon, altitude) and whether
the reports were sent successfully over Iridium.
Report Frequency
Using this menu option the frequency of automatic position reporting
can be viewed and set. Options range from ‘Continuous’ which will
obtain and send reports as quickly as possible, to 12-‐hours, allowing for
2 automatic reports per day. There is also a BURST mode.
Burst Mode
Burst mode allows the Yellowbrick to collect many GPS reports, in
order to get more accurate tracking information, but to send them as a
batch in order to keep airtime costs down. For example, the
Yellowbrick can collect a GPS fix every 5 seconds, and then transmit
those positions once per minute.
To set burst mode, in the Report Frequency you need to choose Burst.
Then, in the Burst Settings menu you can choose how often you wish to
take a fix (Burst fix) and how often you wish to transmit (Burst
transmit).
Note: This mode will use power more quickly than other tracking
modes, since the GPS chip is kept on all of the time.
GPS Hot
In some situations you may want to immediately mark a position with a
manual report whilst travelling at speed. In this sort of situation you
want to be able to rely on an instant GPS fix when you fire a manual
report.
With GPS Hot turned ON, this means the GPS chip is continually keeping
track of your position so there is no delay between the time you fire a
manual report and the time the position is marked.
Note: This mode will use power more quickly than other tracking
modes, since the GPS chip is kept on all of the time.
