Myrio GPS - Change Frequency

[cyotani]

I am using the Pmod GPS module and a Myrio and am able to sucessfull read NMEA sentences using the following example:

I would now like to change the refresh rate to 10Hz from the default 1Hz setting. I am not familiar with VISA functions but the GPS data sheet outlines the procedure of writing a command to change the baud rate then change the frequency.

Can some please help me by pointing me in the right direction to accomplish this. Thank you!

Hey,

To change that setting, it looks like you need to put down a VISA write, and connect the wire coming out of the VISA configuration VI to it. Then wire the string “$PMTK226,3,30*4<CR><LF>" into the write buffer.

Thanks for the reply,

So I should just add the VISA right in series after the configure and outside the loop. I do not need to change any baud rate settings and re configure or anything?

I'll try this when I get home tonight.

Hey,

Exactly, the configuration should apply for all communication to the device, whether you're reading or writing.
