Enable/ Disable EXG Licence
The selection of either an external or internal GNSS source is done through the
EXG license. If the EXG license is enabled, it forces the device to use an external
source provided through MAVlink. Otherwise the internal GNSS receiver is used.
An active GNSS antenna needs to be connected to the device for proper operation
of the device.
If the device has the EXG licence installed, it can be enabled and disabled by
renaming the licence file on Atom. To do this, go to “Tools”, “Data Port” on the
navigation bar of the page and click “Connect”. If there is a continuous output in
the text field, disable it by typing “$pflac,s,nmeaout,0” in the input text field below
and clicking “Send”. The text output can be re-enabled by typing
“$pflac,s,nmeaout,91” and clicking “Send”.
