Frequently Asked Questions about the TRACKER hard- and software.
 
Software-related questions:
Q: Can I run different versions of the TRACKER software on different computers within my organisation?
A: Track'Air advices to always update all your computers running the TRACKER software to the same version to prevent conflicts or compatibility issues.
Hardware-related questions:
Q: I want to use an external GPS data source for the TECI, bypassing the internal receiver. How should I set it up?
A: To allow usage of an external GPS data source do the following:
- remove the GPS loop-back plug from the GPS connection of your TECI-system 
- configure the external GPS receiver to output the data at the baudrate that you want to use*, for example: enable the $GPRMC & $GPGGA strings at 9600,N,8,1
- connect the RS232 serial output of your external receiver to the GPS connection of your TECI-system (pin 2 = signal, pin 5 is GND)
- select a GPS receiver configuration from the snapSHOT GPS menu fitting with the settings of your receiver, for example: 
"NMEA receivers   9600,N,8,1   $GPRMC & $GPGGA    nmea_rmc_gga_96"
- now the TECI, snapSHOT  and your external receiver should be able to work together. 

* please refer to the manual of your external receiver to set it up as required.
