I've just got a unit, it is minute, I've linked up to a laptop via USB and all seemed to run ok. But where is all the data stored, I can't find anything in the G-Rays software to save/open the data?

I also can't turn the unit off unless I remove the battery, is there some special technique (press and hold doesn't work).

Is there a saftware package you would recommend to visualise/plot the data (will use for sprint and hillclimbing).

Any help gratefully received.

Thanks

John

You have to set it to 10Hz but that is the maximum update rate and it will output sentences at that rate. It can also do 2Hz and 4Hz and others.

I just got it so I don't know much beyond the initial impressions.

It has USB (as CDC acm serial).

It takes a bit longer to get a cold cold first time fix.

Manual and setup utility is a bit confusing - DO read the help for each page and/or the ONLINE manual for the setup.

It claims it is waterproof, but I wouldn't immerse it.

Surprisingly small (like the common sized ones that all use the same batteries but not as thick, nor long).

I'll have more to report after a test-drive and some more analysis, but so far it looks good.
