Examples

GPS Example File GPS Example Example should show the Latitude generated by the GPS injector as well as the system time in simulation or UTC time on hardware.

Example data provided by the GPS NMEA injector component

Macro reference

GetConsoleHandle

	GetConsoleHandle
Gets the handle to the console allowing data displaying on the panel etc.
- HANDLE	Return

InitialiseInjector

	InitialiseInjector
Sets up the injector ready to receive commands or send data
- STRING	InjectorName
Name of the console that will be created
- BYTE	Return

RxByte

	RxByte
Attempt to receive a byte back from the injector 0 - 255 = Valid data 256 = RX timeout no data available
- UINT	Return

RxByteCount

	RxByteCount
Returns the number of bytes currently sat in the receive buffer.
- UINT	Return
