Method Detail

getCommPort

short getCommPort()
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

The communications port connected to the GPS receiver. Starts with 1 = COM1, and increases (i.e., 2 = COM2, 3 = COM3, etc.). Defaults to 1.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Returns:

The pNumber

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

setCommPort

void setCommPort(short pNumber)
                 throws IOException,
                        AutomationException

The communications port connected to the GPS receiver. Starts with 1 = COM1, and increases (i.e., 2 = COM2, 3 = COM3, etc.). Defaults to 1.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Parameters:

pNumber - The pNumber (in)

Throws:

IOException - If there are interop problems.

AutomationException - If the ArcObject component throws an exception.

getBaudRate

short getBaudRate()
                  throws IOException,
                         AutomationException

The baud rate for the communications port connected to the GPS receiver. Defaults to 9600.

Remarks

Specifies the baud rate of the GPS connection. The values correspond to values in the esriGpsBaudRate enumeration. In many cases this value will be the actual baud rate, but baud rates higher than 19200 will correspond to lower values in the enumeration since the property is represented as a 16 bit integer.

Product Availability
