3M Dynatel M-Series - Manual (Page 17)

Using Thales™ MobileMapper™ PRO
The Thales™ MobileMapper™ can be used in Mode 1 (NMEA) and Mode 2
(GIS) operations simultaneously. Your 3M™ Dynatel™ M-series Locator may
need a hardware upgrade to be used with the Thales™ MobileMapper™ in
Mode 2 (GIS) operation (See 3M™ Dynatel™ Locator setup below).
Thales™ MobileMapper™ PRO Setup
For mode 2 operation, it is recommended that a new feature library entry be
created in MobileMapper Office
TM
and downloaded to the MobileMapper™
device as follows:
1. From the MobileMapper™ Office™ toolbar, select Tools, Feature Library
Editor.
2. From the Feature Library Editor window toolbar, select File, New. The #
of feature types: should be 0.
3. Select File, SaveAs and save the file as "Dynatel.mmf". Close the editor
window.
4. Connect the MobileMapper™ GPS device to the PC's Com port and turn
the unit on.
5. From the MobileMapper Office™ toolbar, select File, Download from GPS.
6. From the MobileMapper™ Transfer -> PC window, select File, GPS
Device via Cable (or click on the Connect icon).
7. Once the connection has been made, drag the new file, Dynatel.mmf, from
the right pane of the window (PC side) to the left pane of the window (GPS
device side). The new feature library entry is downloaded.
On the MobileMapper™ GPS device:
1. Press the "Menu" key and scroll to Setup and Enter.
2. Scroll to NMEA and Enter, then select V2.1GSA and Enter.
3. Scroll to Baud Rate and Enter, then select 4800 Baud and Enter.
Note: Connecting the GPS device to MobileMapper Office™ will
automatically reset the NMEA mode and the Baud rate, so this setup will
have to be repeated after each download/upload.
