L€­€€€‚‚‚‚€€€€‚‚€€‚ÿIntroduction to GPSMONThe GPS Monitor (GPSMON) software is used to communicate with the ALLSTAR GPS engine in CMC_Binary or NMEA format. NMEA messages can either be displayed in the "Terminal window" or in specialized windows. The default mode is CMC_Binary protocol @ 9600 N-8-1. The GPSMON communication function can be configured to values between 300 and 19200 Baud rate and the PC Serial Comm Port to values from #1 to #4.The GPSMON displays the data received from the ALLSTAR and transmits data request to the ALLSTAR or Record/Playback log files (see mode indicator in the MENU BAR). Log files are data files that contain CMC Binary or NMEA messages transmitted by the ALLSTAR. The data files format is defined as per the communication protocol defined in the ALLSTAR SPECIFICATION DOCUMENT (Doc no. 1826-1127) Appendix E and D .ݪ 3 4€»€€‚‚‚ã èÊG€‰€‚ÿTo display data on the GPSMON screen, the user must first request the data from the ALLSTAR (if not already transmitted). To request data from the ALLSTAR, the GPSMON Xmit Msg menu contains the list of all possible command messages that can be transmitted to the ALLSTAR. If parameters are required to build the user request, additional dialogue boxes shall be presented.Once the data is requested, the corresponding window needs to be opened from the Windows menu. It is also possible to request for specific data related to an opened window by clicking the right button of the mouse when within the appropriate window limits. This action has the same effects as using Xmit Msg menu).See also Message Request Short Cut.&šÐ # €€€‚ÿFª  1 ؃‚ÿÿÿÿ ]EALLSTAR ConfigurationCÐ Y ( €6€€€‚‚‚ÿALLSTAR Configurationñ u + $€ã€ø€€€‚ÿAt every power-up, the ALLSTAR transmits a sequence of ASCII characters @ 9600 baud rate.
