Hello,

I do some experiments with a serial GPS dongle on the USB port.
All is working wel and I can receive the data.
I know there will be send some different sentence.
But when I look to the output of the com block ($) I see only one :(

Test environment is include.

Please take a look to see of there is something wrong .

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

you do not send any command, to the device (GPS).
Because of that, you are probably receiving the same Signal, over and over again.

However, without more information from you (about the GPS), it's futile to guess!
Preferably, the programming-manual of the GPS (as *.pdf) or similar.

A Tip:
do NOT indiscriminately use "Jump" - "Target", rather wire things together, as below:

Thanks for your support.
My GPS receiver type is Haicom HI-206 USB receiver.
It sends a continues stream of data, need no extern triggering to start

The Baudrate is 57600 Baud.
When I connect the program SRFdemo I receive
the data as expect.

There is a sample GPS-receiver Project, in PL-E:
C:\Program Files (x86)\ProfiLab-Expert40\Examples\Hardware\RS232\GPS-Demo.prj
(adjust above Path, as it applies to your Installation)

Try this, as a first step:
The COM port/baud-rate settings, have to be adjusted to your Device, before use.

Then, take it from there ...
