GPS Tab
Every Satlink Logger transmitter has a built-in GPS module. The GPS module provides time and
frequency information needed for the on-going operation of SL3. SL3 is certified to operate for
30 days without GPS.
There is only one setting on the GPS tab: Local Time Offset (min). GPS provides UTC time to
Satlink. The field labeled “Local Time Offset” can be used to have Satlink use local time instead
of UTC. Enter the offset from UTC in minutes to have Satlink use local time. Leave the setting at
zero to have Satlink use UTC. E.g. to have Satlink run on US Eastern Standard Time, enter -300,
indicating that EST is 300 minutes behind UTC. Note: Satlink will not automatically switch
between daylight savings time and standard time. Note: if you set a local time offset, all times
used by Satlink will be in local time – even the scheduled transmit time. You may need to adjust
your scheduled transmission time to local time if you use a local time offset.
