Properties
Buffer Size
The maximum number of bytes of a NMEA message we can store before processing the message. 
Log Altitude
Adds a variable to store the incoming altitude value Referenced by macro: ReadAltitude 
Log Buffer Overflow
Adds a variable to store if the incoming message buffer overflows Referenced by macro: CheckBufferOverflow 
Log Course Over Ground
Adds a variable to store the incoming course over ground value Referenced by macro: ReadCourseOverGround 
Log Dilution Of Precision
Adds a variable to store the incoming DOP value Referenced by macro: ReadDilutionOfPrecision 
Log Ground Speed
Adds a variable to store the incoming ground speed value Referenced by macro: ReadGroundSpeed 
Log Horizontal DOP
Adds a variable to store the incoming HDOP value Referenced by macro: ReadHorizontalDilutionOfPrecision 
Log Latitude
Adds a variable to store the incoming latitude value Referenced by macro: ReadLatitude 
Log Longitude
Adds a variable to store the incoming longitude value Referenced by macro: Read Longitude 
Log Satellite Count
Adds a variable to store the number of satellites in range Referenced by macro: ReadNumberOfSatellites 
Log UTC Time
Adds a variable to store the incoming UTC Time value Referenced by macro: ReadUTCTime 
Log UTC Date
Adds a variable to store the incoming UTC Date value Referenced by macro: ReadUTCDate 
Log Verticle DOP

Connections
Channel
UART Channel selector Software channels are bit banged using generic I/O pins but are not as reliable as hardware channels. Hardware channels use the selected peripheral on-board the target microcontroller. 
RX
Pin to be used for Receive data 
Baud Options
Baud rate option selector 
Baud Rate
 
Simulations
Label
Label used to help identify the component on the panel. 
Show Globe
Allows a graphical globe to be shown on the panel along with a coordinate marker. 
Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically added to the data recorder window or not. Simulation - draws an approximation of the UART data onto the scope trace. ICT - sets up the scope trace for incoming data and adds UART packet decoding at the correct BAUD. 
Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not 
Console Columns
Number of characters that can be displayed on a single line of the console. 
Data Source
Simulation data source used to allow the component to connect to various remote devices Nothing - Simulation data is ignored COM port - Routes the communication data to and from a physical or virtual COM port Injector - Routes the communication data via a data injector component on the Panel.
