9.5.6 Configure Virtual Port Settings
Geode Connect for
Windows PC has a Virtual
COM Port Driver. You can
use this driver to configure
virtual COM ports as
writeable. Once writeable,
these ports can be used for
two-way communication
between the Geode and
third-party apps, allowing
the apps to both receive
and send information to the
Geode.
Virtual COM ports also
provide a convenient way
to connect the Geode to
both apps (Geode Connect
and the third-party app)
simultaneously.
This configuration allows the Geode to use NTRIP data from
Geode Connect to correct its position and then send that
corrected position to the third-party app.
Note: The first time you select Virtual Ports, Geode Connect
may prompt you to install the Virtual Port Driver. Go ahead
and install it.
