6 Configuration commands - for Falcom STEPP

STEPPCONFIG VERSION 1.8.14
Determine the Zone’s Grid Coordinates
The FALCOM STEPP unit supports three different kinds of coordinate format
for latitude and longitude. These formats are based on the output of NMEA
protocol format. So the coordinates may be one of the following types:
• Latitude, longitude(in degrees, minutes, seconds).
$GPRMC,141038.641,A,50'42'44",N,10'52'55",E,0.08,17.08,280104,,*09
• Latitude, longitude (in decimal degrees).
$GPRMC,141128.638,A,50.712222,N,10.881944,E,0.07,103.22,280104,,*3E
• Latitude, longitude (GPS NMEA format).
$GPRMC,141037.641,A,5042.5103,N,1052.0101,E,0.09,13.54,280104,,*0E
First, you have to use your mapping software (Map&Guide or another one) to
determine the rectangle coordinates for your set zone. In order to do this, open
the map software and locate the coordinate text that displays the geographic
coordinates of your cursor location on the map:
� For the Map&Guide, by moving the mouse cursor on the map the current
coordinates (Longitude/Latitude in degrees, minute and second) are
displayed at the bottom corner on the first panel of the viewer window.
Locate the zone you want to define on the map, and note down the upper left
corner (UL) and the lower right corner (LR) coordinates of a rectangle that
defines the zone.
In our example (in degrees, minutes, seconds):
Latitude (UL) = 10°52’55” N
Longitude (UL) = 50°42’44” W
