GPS Connector lets you connect the GPS
COM ports to COM1 or Bluetooth ports
and configure port settings such as the
baud rate. GPS Connector has a
graphical display that shows all active
connections, and a text display that
shows connection messages.
Use GPS Connector to output NMEA or
TSIP messages from the integrated
GPS receiver to another device, such
as an external data collector.
The connections that you create in
GPS Connector are only active while
the software is running. Connections
created by GPS Connector are labeled
GPS Connector in the status screen
and end when you exit the software.
For more information, refer to the GPS
Connector Help.
Note — If you are using a Bluetooth port,
enable and configure the Bluetooth
Serial Port service before you connect to
the port.
