GPS Direct Mode
The MIP Monitor software can be used to put the sensor in a mode in which direct access to
the internal GPS receiver is available. In this mode the 3DM-GX4-45
™
normal functionality
is not available, and protocol commands cannot be used. This mode is called GPS Direct
mode and is used to allow communication with the receiver through an external utility
program available from the GPS receiver manufacturer (such as u-Blox) or by contacting
LORD MicroStrain
®
Technical Support (
see Technical Support on page 63
). Also refer to
the
Using u-blox Software
Technical Note for specific instructions on that receiver (
see
Reference Documents on page 71
).
To start communicating with the GPS receiver in GPS Direct mode, select Advanced >
Communication > GPS Direct from the MIP Monitor main window. Once in this mode the
device status message will indicate "GPS Direct Mode" (
