SF-3050. Connect the DB9S end to the computer.

5. Click

the

Send button. The receiver returns the current USB Mode, Device or Host.

6. If the SF-3050 is not in USB Host Mode, type the command [USBMODE]host.

7. Click

the

Send button.

8. Type the command [USBMODE] to verify that the receiver is in USB Host Mode. Click the

Send button. The receiver returns Host as the current USB Mode.

Logging

To log data to the USB flash drive, the messages to be logged are first scheduled on a special
port, fh1. “fh” means “file handler”. The command [OUTPUT] is used to schedule the messages.

1. Schedule a message to be logged:

a. Type the appropriate [OUTPUT] command string in Input Terminal:

[OUTPUT](message), (timing), (interval), fh1

For example, to output PVT1B at 10Hz, the command is:

[OUTPUT]PVT1B, ontime, 0.1, fh1

b. Click

the

Send button.

2. Repeat Step 2 to schedule all necessary messages.

To simplify this process, a profile can be configured to begin and end data
logging to the USB flash drive.

3. Type the command ‘[LOGFILE]start’ in Input Terminal.

4. Click

the

Send button to start logging the scheduled messages. Messages are logged in

*.dat format to the USB flash drive.
