(UTK)
- Quick Start Guide
Read this First
1.
Install the UTSetup program.
The first thing that
you need to do is install the UTSetup program which is available
online at http://www.skytrx.com/. Just go to
the Support Center section of the website. After the setup program
has completed, insert the UTK into the USB port. You will see some
prompts come up automatically. Simply select the default selections
all the way through. WINDOWS MAY TAKE YOU THROUGH THIS PROCESS FOUR
TIMES. THIS IS NORMAL SO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT CANCEL THIS PART OF
THE INSTALLATION.
2.
Make sure the UTK is working properly.
You will see an Icon
on your desktop call UTracking. Run this program. A message box will
come up telling you to make sure the UTK is inserted. If your UTK
is inserted than ignore this message. Go to the Setup Tab and click
AutoFind. If the software cannot find the UTK, you will get a warning.
There will not be a warning if the software finds the UTK. If you
did not get a warning, write down the “Map Program Port”.
It will be a COM with a number, like COM4. This can change every
time you insert the UTK so make sure you are aware of this. THIS
IS THE COM PORT THAT YOU WILL USE WITH YOUR MAPPING SOFTWARE. Now
you can either download new data from the 3100 unit by going to the
Download tab, or your can open previously downloaded data by going
to the Play tab. In the play tab, you will see a button with three
dots. That is the button to open previously downloaded data. After
you have data loaded, hit the play button. You will see the “Current
Position” count up as it plays the data.
3.
Run your mapping program.
While the data is
still playing in the UTracking software, start your mapping software
(For this example we will use Microsoft Streets and Trips). With
most mapping software, there will be an option for setting up the
GPS receiver. For Streets and Trips, you select, Tools | GPS | Configure
GPS Receiver. The program will ask you for a COM port. Use the one
that you wrote down previously (Map Program Port), example COM4.
In Streets and Trips, you then will go to Tools | GPS | Track Position.
You should see your data now being played back in Microsoft Streets
and Trips. If your mapping software asks you about the NMEA format
and baud rate, then you will select 4800 baud. The NMEA format is
NMEA 0183.
