Usage Features:
LED Definition:
The device incorporates several LEDs to indicate its operational status:
- BASE UNIT Cellular (Amber):
- LED OFF: Searching for Cellular Network.
- Solid: Cellular Carrier Lock.
- BASE UNIT GPS (Green):
- Solid: Searching for satellite.
- Blinking: GPS Lock.
- Optional Bluetooth (Blue): TBD (status not yet defined in this version).
Device Mounting Options:
- The XT6350 must be securely installed within the vehicle.
- A loose unit can prevent the accelerometer from calibrating correctly, especially when the vehicle is in motion.
- The device provides space for a tie strap to secure it, ensuring stable mounting.
Device Configuration using PC:
- Connectivity: An RS-232 to USB TTL converter cable is required. Serial Port #2 on the XT-63XX device is used for configuration.
- Connect the XT63XX Tx wire to the TTL converter cable Rx wire.
- Connect the XT63XX Rx wire to the TTL converter cable Tx wire.
- Connect the XT63XX ground wire to the TTL converter cable ground wire.
- Terminal Application Settings: Use a terminal application to connect to the COM port associated with the TTL converter cable with the following settings:
- Bits per second: 115200.
- Data bits: 8.
- Parity: None.
- Stop bits: 1.
- Flow control: None.
- Loading Script Files:
- Use the command
:grscr x 2 "D_Script3_20.bin>" to load a script file.
- Upload the file using the terminal program.
- Loading Parameter Files:
- Use the command
:gycfg x 2 "Name of file" to load a parameter file.
- Upload the file using the terminal program.
- Saving Configuration:
- Use the command
:vycfg to save the current configuration.
Maintenance Features:
While the guide doesn't explicitly detail "maintenance features" in a separate section, the configuration options and secure mounting instructions imply aspects of device upkeep and reliability:
- Firmware and Parameter Updates: The ability to load script and parameter files via a PC connection allows for remote or local updates to the device's operating software and settings, ensuring it remains current and functional.
- Secure Installation: The emphasis on secure mounting helps prevent physical damage from vibrations or impacts, contributing to the device's longevity and consistent performance.
- Backup Power: The internal rechargeable Li-Ion battery provides a "last gasp" capability, ensuring critical data can be transmitted even if the main vehicle power is interrupted, which is a key aspect of data integrity and device reliability.
- LED Indicators: The status LEDs provide immediate visual feedback on the device's operational state (cellular network connectivity, GPS lock), aiding in quick troubleshooting and verification of proper functioning after installation or during operation.
