transmission. The lower the turn slope, the quicker TinyTrak3 will transmit due to turning. Both Min Turn Time and Min
Turn Angle must be less than 256.
SmartBeaconing Slow Speed, Slow Rate
This setting sets the SmartBeaconing slow speed (MPH) and rate (seconds). Speeds slower than the slow speed will
cause TinyTrak3 to beacon at the Slow Rate.
SmartBeaconing Fast Speed, Fast Rate
This setting sets the SmartBeaconing fast speed (MPH) and rate (seconds). Speeds faster than the fast speed will cause
TinyTrak3 to beacon at the Fast Rate. Fast Speed must be set higher than Slow Speed.
Power Switch
When enabled, this setting will enable Power Control J6 at the given time before a transmission will occur. If Only Send
Valid is enabled above, and the Power Switch is also enabled, and GPS data is not valid at the scheduled transmission
time, power will remain on until the next transmission to give the GPS a chance to lock on. If this happens, the Power
Switch time should be increased. See the Power Switch section above for more information.
Configure
Com Port
This setting selects which communication port the TinyTrak3 is connected to during configuration. Currently only the first
four serial ports are supported.
Read Version Button
This button will get the current firmware version from the connected TinyTrak3. This is a useful, simple test to confirm the
computer and TinyTrak3 can communicate.
Read Configuration Button
This button will upload all configuration settings from the connected TinyTrak3, and populate the settings field in the
software interface. This step is useful to change a single setting on the TinyTrak3 configuration.
Write Configuration Button
This button will download all configuration settings entered in the software interface into the TinyTrak3. The settings are
stored in non-volatile memory, so they will persist when power is removed from TinyTrak3.
Tone Test
These buttons will cause TinyTrak3 to transmit a 1200 Hz tone, a 2200 Hz tone, or alternate between the two on a
connected radio. This is useful for setting transmission levels, and measuring audio frequencies when adjusting
calibration.
Save / Load
These buttons will allow saving and loading of all current TinyTrak3Config parameters to and from a file. The file format is
the binary data stored in the TinyTrak3 on-chip EEPROM.
