E. Operational characteristics
Initialization
Once the initial self-test is complete, MG-950d start the process of satellite acquisition and
tracking automatically. MG-950D takes about 45 seconds to achieve a position fix in normal
circumstances. After a position fix has been calculated, valid position, velocity and time is
transmitted over the output channel.
Also, our MG-950d records NMEA position data from a GPS. It is really convenient,
economical alternative to using a laptop computer, especially on long road. Simply connect
the logger to a GPS during your trip then download the track data to a PC.
