: Play the NMEA sentences continuously.
: Play speed. The speed range is from 1 to 10.
: Pause the play.
: Stop the play (note that once the NMEA sentence is stopped from play-
ing, the file will start from the beginning when Play is clicked again).
: Jump to the indicated step and play it.
: Step counter. Displays the current step and total steps. In
this example the step comes from "XXGGA" in the loaded NMEA sentence.
The program will calculate the summation of the "XXGGA" in the loaded

NMEA log file for the step reference. The program will also load every NMEA
sentence and display all information to the corresponding windows.
RTCM
Note: This feature is only available on the XA11xx and XM11xx.
The ntrip client function can connect to the specified ntrip caster and stream
RTCM. Before connecting to an ntrip caster, please set up the required
parameters properly.
Click the down arrow next to the RTCM button and click Settings.

The Ntrip Client Settings dialog is then displayed, as shown in Figure 2-5:
Figure 2-6: Ntrip Client Settings
• Ntrip Stream: if the computer has a connection to the Internet, the program
will download the source table automatically. You can also get the source
table manually by clicking the Get Source Table button. You must then
choose a proper stream which meets your RTCM version.
• Ntrip Caster: specifies the address and port number of the specified caster
with the authorized username and password to log in.
• Location: designates fixed location (latitude and longitude), or a dynamic
location which reads from the GPS location. Such location information will
send an ntrip caster to acquire more accurate RTCM-correct data.
