Functionality notice
3.1
Important functionality note
The FSL MICROpod utilizes an internal connection between the GNSS receiver com 2 port and the
micro. Therefore any commands sent through GPS com 1 or GPS com 3 that will affect the
configuration could reduce functionality.
When connected to either GPS com port the following commands should be avoided.
UNLOGALL
If UNLOGALL is sent to a GPS com port it will stop the output of commands on all GPS com ports and
all of the MICRO com ports.
UNLOG
If UNLOG is sent to GPS com port it will stop the output of the specific command on all GPS Com
ports and all of the MICRO com ports.
COM COM2
GPS com 2 has been specifically configured for communicating with the microprocessor and
changing the baud rate of GPS com 2 will disable communications between the micro and the GPS
receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
FRESET/ RESET
These commands will reset the GPS receiver to its original state and will disable communications
between the micro and the GPS receiver and therefore the micro com ports will no longer function.
3.2
Reconfiguring GPS com 2
Functionality can be retained using either of the methods outlined below.
Reconfigure GPS com 2

the following commands to the unit.
