Chapter 5 - GPS MENU (optional)
HI9828 model featuring GPS (Global Positioning System) is provided with a
built-in 12 channel receiver and antenna to calculate meter position and track
locations along with measurement data.
The GPS unit tracks locations using satellites, with a position accuracy of 10
meters (30 ft).
The GPS coordinates are shown on the LCD together with up to 10 measure-
ment parameters, and are recorded with logged data.
The GPS signal strength is always displayed through a 5-element indicator on
the bottom right corner of the LCD. If only one blinking element is displayed, the
satellite acquisition is not yet completed or the signal strength is not sufficient (in
this case try to move outdoor to see if the signal strength improves).
The user can associate GPS coordinates with alphanumeric locations, which will
be assigned to the logged data.
