Number of fields

Set the number of fields to send.

The default value is 1.

Update interval (seconds)

Set the number of seconds to wait between sending the data.

The default value is 60 seconds.

Optional

Send location information

When this parameter is set to:

Input port, specify the location using a signal that is connected to the location block input.

Block dialog, specify the location using the Location (latitude, longitude, altitude) parameter.

In both cases, specify the location as a cell array of three elements:

[latitude,longitude,altitude]

Use decimal degrees notation to specify latitude and longitude. Use meters to specify altitude. For example:

• The lowest human-sized point underground, the TauTona Mine in Carletonville, South Africa: [-26.416111,27.4275,-3900]

• The highest point measured from sea level, the summit of Mount Everest in Nepal: [27.988056,86.925278,8848]

Location (latitude, longitude, altitude)

Setting the Send location information parameter to Block dialog displays this parameter.

Specify the location as a cell array of three elements:

[latitude,longitude,altitude]
