Retrieving the GPS Location of Your Unit
Retrieving the GPS Location of Your Unit
With the optional GPS USB key and the provided GPS utility, you can
retrieve the latitude and longitude coordinates of your unit as well as the
date and time of the reading. You will see either the last known coordinates
or the current ones, depending on if the GPS key can establish a
connection with the GPS satellites or not.
Note:
To be able to establish a communication, the unit must be used outdoors
and as far away as possible from buildings and other solid objects.
In addition to viewing the GPS information on-screen, you can copy it to
the Clipboard in two formats: a text string or a URL link. The text string
contains the GPS coordinates as well as a date and time stamp. Once the
information is in the Clipboard, you can paste it to any document or test
report (in editable sections). If your unit is connected to the Internet, you
can even directly paste the URL link to a Web browser to locate your unit
on a map.
Note:
Only administrator-level users can install software under Windows
Embedded Standard.
I
MPORTANT
Only the Canmore GT-730F(L) keys provided by EXFO are
supported on your unit.
Before using the GPS USB key for the first time, you must install
the most recent System Upgrade and Platform kits for your unit.
To do this, you will need a standard USB memory key and a
computer with an Internet access. You can also retrieve the kits
directly from your unit, but you will need an Internet access.
