Micromate Operator Manual – 721U0201 Revision 6 111
13.4. GPS – Global Positioning System
The Micromate will only support direct communication with the Magellan eXplorist 310 GPS
receiver.
This GPS can be used to record the exact coordinates of the vibration source and the Micromate
sensors. These two coordinates can then be downloaded into the Micromate. Using these
coordinates the Micromate will calculate the exact distance between the two points. The
coordinates and the distance value will then be saved as part of the event report. Refer to section
11.1.15 GPS Location for additional information.
If the scaled distance function has also been enabled, the calculated distance measurement will be
used to calculate the scaled distance value. Refer to section 11.1.14 Scaled Distance for additional
information.
The GPS can also be used to synchronize the real time clocks on multiple Micromate units. Refer to
section 11.4.5 Set System Time and UTC Offset for additional information.
