Service We can fix that Support Forum WeвЂ™re here to help. Note: The position given by the toughbook GNSS is likely to be a few M away from the Trimble GNSS position - this is a question of accuracy as well as reference frames.Used Equipment Good as new.

If toughbook does have NMEA but it doesn't give GGA sentences, GLL and RMC also have Lat and Long so look for those.

Modify the instructions to use the NMEA-GGA attribute instead of the Comment attribute.

Create your own data dictionary in PFO, adding a NMEA-GGA Text attribute which is long enough to take a full GGA string.

#Gps pathfinder office ports serial#

Use some NMEA-capable or terminal utility (Terraterm?) to confirm that the toughbook does supply NMEA on some serial port.

That would be the start of the NMEA GGA sentence, so UTC Time = 00:06:45, Lat = 43вѓ2.71420812 S, Long = 172вѓ5 - and the rest is truncated because the Comment attribute is only 32 characters long. When you create a Point Feature and start logging positions, the GGA sentence will appear in the Comment field (with the 'GGA' prefix and '*' suffix removed), updated every second (I guess the last value will be stored.) To see whether this is working, select Status / Sensor while you are collecting a Point feature, you should see something like ',000645.00,4332.71420812,S,17235' displayed for Sensor1.ДЄfter ending the feature and closing the SSF file, transferring to PC, opening the SSF file in Pathfinder office, select the feature and look at the comment attribute - for my example, this is ',000645.00,4332.71420812,S,17235'.

When you open a data file, TerraSync will try to open the Com port you specified for the Sensor.

Enter Attribute name 'Comment' (later, you will change this to an attribute of your choice).

Set logging interval for Not in Feature = Off.

Set logging interval for Line / Area feature = Off.

Set logging interval for Point feature = 1s.

Leave receive mode set to 'Unsolicited'.

Set the Suffix string to * (to end capture with the start of NMEA checksum).

Set the prefix String to GGA (to pick up NMEA GGA sentences).

Set the Baud rate, data bits, etc, to appropriate values (if it's a Virtual Com Port, the baud rate etc.

Select the port number for NMEA output from the Toughbook internal GNSS.

Enable Sensor 1 and click on the corresponding Properties button.

Connect to the external Trimble GNSS as normal.

Since you mention 'toughbook', I assume that's a Panasonic? Assuming that your Toughbook model provides NMEA output on a serial port you could do something like this in TerraSync (this is just a proof of concept, but it will demonstrate the solution):
