GPS VIs

Owning Palette: Timing VIs

Requires: NI-Sync

Use the VIs in the GPS palette to perform tasks using the onboard GPS receiver of a timing and synchronization module, such as creating GPS timestamps or getting the current location and velocity of your module.

Palette ObjectDescription
niSync Disable GPS or IRIG TimestampingDisables GPS or IRIG timestamping on the specified device.
niSync Enable GPS or IRIG TimestampingTimestamps an incoming GPS or IRIG signal with the current board time of the specified device.
niSync Get LocationReturns the last calculated latitude, longitude, and altitude of your device's onboard GPS receiver.
niSync Get VelocityReturns the last calculated velocity of the associated device's onboard GPS receiver. Using this VI, you can display east velocity, north velocity, and up velocity in meters per second.
niSync Read Last GPS or IRIG TimestampReturns the last GPS or IRIG timestamp received from a specified device. This VI returns two timestamps: one with the board time when the pulse was received, and one with the time of the GPS receiver or IRIG message, depending on which instance you choose.
