Chapter 3: Property Descriptions and Usage

SerialPort

Applies to

SerialGPS objects

Description

The SerialPort property specifies the serial port used by the GPS device. For Bluetooth devices, the value of this property is typically COM8.

Usage


In a painter

Type the value in the SerialPort box on the General page of the Object’s Properties view.


In scripts

The SerialPort property takes a string value. This example overrides the default serial port before opening a GPS connection and getting a location fix:

gps_1.SerialPort = "COM5:" //override default com8 port

gps_1.ConfigParams = "buffersize=2000,refresh=2000,"& 		 + "timeout=5000,multithread=0"

rc = gps_1.Open()

IF rc = 1 THEN

 rc = gps_1.GetFix(myFix)

 ... //process data

ELSE //process error msg

END IF

rc = gps_1.Close()
