3. Run TempSensor.exe. The console should show the immediate values for the temperature sensors on

the SATA expansion module in slot 1 (43.88˚C, in the screenshot below) and slot 2. In this case, we have

inserted only one SATA module in slot 1, so the program only shows a value for Disk1; for slot 2 (Disk2,

below) it shows N/A (for Not Applicable), indicating that slot 2 is empty or the T-sensor is not operating.

GPS Control Code

A GPS module for the TC-6110 may be purchased from Moxa as an accessory. Moxa’s GPS receivers

communicate using the NMEA specification. This section describes how to build control scripts that automate

actions for particular GPS events. During this installation, we will use Moxa’s PCommLite serial

communications development environment to install and configure the GPS module. However, any serial port

terminal emulator (such as HyperTerminal, Tera Term, or PuTTY) may be used.

For more details about PCommLite, check the help menu that comes with the program. This help menu is the

full PComm manual, reproduced digitally and packaged with program.

Retrieving GPS Data

To receive GPS data, follow the steps below:

1. Connect the GPS antenna to the GPS antenna port on the TC-6110 front panel.
