Simulator: GPS

Top  Previous  Next

The "GPS" window simulates position data coming from a GPS receiver.

 

Simulator-GPS         Simulator-GPS-Advanced

 

The data entered in this window is read by the VPL application using the gpsFix() or gnssFix() function blocks.

The Power LED shows if the GPS receiver has been enabled with gpsPower().

The "GPS Valid" check mark indicates whether valid data is present from the GPS receiver and can be used to simulate bad reception conditions etc.

The "Set default" button resets the data to the default.

 

When the wanted GPS data has been entered, the "Set data" button must be pressed, and the information will immediately be available for the VPL application.

Note: The timestamp returned from the GPS simulator is the current Windows System time.
