FIGURE 9 - 8X00 ALLSTAR engine monitor screen
The 8X00 engine monitor is a PC-based computer program that receives
NMEA sentences from the 12-channel CMC ALLSTAR GPS engine and
beacon receiver, then displays the sensor's output data and status. This
program runs on most IBM-compatible PCs, and interfaces with the 8700,
8800, and 8900's data ports, letting you monitor and log a sensor's out-
put. Status information fields are included in screen sections for BDM
data, GPS data, and satellite data:
