A - The $JSHOW<CR><LF> command will request the configuration
information from the receiver. The response will be similar to the following
output and is described in detail in Chapter 3.
$>JSHOW,BAUD,19200
$>JSHOW,BIN,1,5.0
$>JSHOW,BAUD,4800,OTHER
$>JSHOW,ASC,GPGGA,1.0,OTHER
$>JSHOW,ASC,GPVTG,1.0,OTHER
$>JSHOW,ASC,GPGSA,1.0,OTHER
$>JSHOW,ASC,GPZDA,1.0,OTHER
Q – How can I be sure that the configuration will be saved for the
subsequent power cycle?
A – The surest method is to query the receiver to make sure you’re happy
with the current configuration, by issuing a $JSHOW<CR><LF> command
(if not, make the necessary changes and repeat). If the current configuration
is acceptable, issue a $JSAVE<CR><LF> command. Wait for the receiver to
indicate that the save is complete. You may power the receiver down and
issue another $JSAVE if you feel it’s necessary, however, it is not required.
Q - What is the best software tool to use to communicate with my receiver
and configure it?
A - We use three different software applications at CSI Wireless for this
application:
• PocketMAX – Available from the CSI Wireless Web site. This PocketPC
(2000, 2002 and 2003) application is a user friendly way to configure your
receiver and to determine the current settings. Unlike SLXMon, this utility
does not leave any binary message on after it has been exited. PocketMAX
retains exactly the configuration programmed by the user after it has been
closed.
• PocketMAX PC – Available from the CSI Wireless Web site. This application
runs on laptop and PC computers running Windows 95 or higher Operating
Systems.
