Parameters for GPS Device

Enter any name for the hardware module.

Specifies how the system should react if the connection between INCA and the hardware module is interrupted at measuring start or during measurement.

• Abort after failure

  The measurement using this hardware module will be terminated in any case of measurement failure (at measuring start or during measurement). The system does not try to reinitialize the hardware module. After the connection has been interrupted, you have to reinitialize manually.

  This option is appropriate when, e.g., the measured values are not essential for the experiment, as the module will be ignored after any failure. This option is the default.

• Abort at start, try again later

  INCA stops measurement of this module in case of failure at measuring start, assuming the module is disconnected or has any systematic problem.

  It continues to try measurement in case of failure during the measurement assuming the failure is temporal and can be resolved via retries.

• Retry always

  INCA continues to try measurement of this module in any case of measurement failure (at measuring start or during measurement).

  This option is useful if you want to conduct quick start or cold start measurements.

This specifies whether timestamps are to be rounded or not.

If rounding is enabled, the precision is determined according the following rule:

Divide the acquisition rate by 10 and round to the next smaller power of 10.

Shows the lower physical value.

Shows the upper physical value.

Shows the conversion formula used for the hardware module.

You cannot edit this field.

Select the COM port where the GPS device is connected.

Defines the baud rate for transmission.

Defines whether GPX files will be created automatically when performing measurements.

Defines the path where the GPX files will be saved.

The default path is the same path as the path for INCA measurement files. To change the path for the GPX files, click on the ... button on the right side of the field and select the desired folder.

Defines the base for the file name of the GPX file. To change the default base name, click in the field and modify the string.

Defines whether the file name of the generated GPX file will be auto-incremented with each measurement.

If auto-incrementation is enabled, INCA will automatically append a number to the base file name, starting with 100. If there are already GPX files in the selected folder with the same name, the new file will use the next free increment.
