B.2.2.1 By SiRFdemo Program
1// Connect your GPS-6017 to PC (either COM or USB)
2// Execute SiRFdemo.exe (Program is in the CD)
3// When “Data Source Setup” shows, select the port (COM 1, 2 or 3….) you used, click “OK”.
4// Click “Action”, select “Open Data Source”, Then you will see lots of sentences shows. All the sentences
start with $GPxxxx. This is NMEA protocol. If you do not see these sentences, please click “View”,
“Select Message”, then click “Development”. The message will appear. If it still shows nothing, then
continue below steps.
5// There is a screen “Selection of Target Receiver Software” might appear, please select “SiRFstar II”.
6// Click “Action”, Select “Switch to SiRF Protocol”. Then you will see SiRF binary and the sentences start
with #Time, shows every 4 lines and you can not see the sentences start with $GP. These sentences
are for setting or viewing the GPS receiver’s performance. If your software is using standard NMEA
protocol, please do the following:
7// Click “Action”, Select “Switch to NMEA Protocol”. You will see GGA, GSV, GSA and RMC in black and
the Baud Rate is 4800. These are the default we put inside the receiver. Please click “OK”. Then you
can use it as a standard GPS receiver. If your software uses different sentence, please choose the
sentences you need.

than 10 days, user must re-set again when power on.
