AXTracker: An Inexpensive Satellite Transmitter
for Sensing Changes at Remote Locations

Configuring the AXTracker

Software provided with the AXTracker (PDA/PC Tool), is used with a personal data assistant (PDA) or personal computer (PC) when configuring the AXTracker. The PC or PDA must be connected to the AXTracker with the proper cable. The PDA/PC Tool software allows the user to configure various transmission modes, start delays, alarm settings, GPS settings, temperature limits, motion sensors, override commands, and various other options. Many programs can be configured and saved for various applications. Once the program is configured on the PDA or PC, it is downloaded to the AXTracker with the program command.

The PDA/PC Tool Run button commands the AXTracker to run the downloaded program. The AXTracker also can be activated in the field with the optional field commissioning cable. Programs can be downloaded from the AXTracker to the PDA or PC and saved. Many other configuration options are covered in the AXTracker owner's manual.
