| Q4 |
Can the logged data be downloaded by Bluetooth ? |

Actually it's okay for Q1000P to download data via Bluetooth interface. However, since it is not stable and with lower download performance than that of USB interface, we don't officially admit this feature. |

| Q6 |
I have already followed the standard procedure to make connection via utility software V3, but I still have a problem when trying to download data to PC and perform other function also, such as setting and erase. What should I do? |
| A6 |
Please make sure that BT-Q1000P connects directly to your PC without going through any intermediate device such as USB hub, or change a USB cable. |
| |
| Q7. |
I use the "Scan" function under PC Utility to connect my BT-Q1000P with PC, but errors always occur during executing other functions. |
| A7. |
You may have too many devices occupying com ports and thus making the "Scan" function detecting the wrong device to connect. Please check the Com Port manually by going to "Control Panel/Systems/Hardware/Device Manager/Ports(COM & LPT)/ CP210x USB to UART Bridge Controller". |
| |
| Q8 |
My Q1000P is unable to log anymore. What's wrong? |

Check if your Q1000P's memory is full or the status in PC utility V3 software "Data Log List?appears to be "Error!?or not. Both can be resolved by performing a soft reset at PC Utility software V3 "Data Log List?-> "Reset.?/p> |

| Q9 |
When I use V4 SW and try to read the log on my Travel Recorder, it shows that it is reading 65535 bytes, but then the message comes up -- "No data in device." How can I read out this data? |
| A9 |
You may use V3 SW to unselect some necessary options for V4 SW to draw tracks on Google Map. Please make sure to select "Date/Time, Valid, Longitude, Latitude, RCR." Neither one of these 5 options will result in V4 SW not able to read out data from Travel Recorder. |
| |
| Q10 |
How can I adjust my device to 5Hz mode? |
| A10 |
Please download the tuner tool, QstarzGPSView, from our website to adjust. More detailed instruction please refer to Q1300 user's manual 10-5, other models as well. |
| |
|
| Q11 |
My navigation software does not support baud rate 115,200. How can I make it work via USB interface with Qstarz GPS? |
| A11 |
When Qstarz GPS is connected via USB interface, the baud rate is fixed and should be set to 115200. If your software does not support this baud rate, please connect the device via Bluetooth interface whose baud rate is changeable. |
| |
|
| Q12 |
When I use V4 SW to read log from device, it always fails and shows incompatible models. And I checked the driver "CP210x..." in device manager a code 10 is reported. |
| A12 |
Your Driver is not properly installed.
Please remove the driver from Control Panel -> Remove Program -> Silicon Laboratories .. and reinstall the driver. |
| |
|
| Q13 |
My Travel Recorder can not log 5Hz data? |
| A13 |
The update rate stands for the rate of GPS refreshing nmea data received from satellites. Thus 5Hz update rate only means GPS can receive or refresh nmea data 5 times per second, and it's irrelevant with 5Hz logging. So far all of Qstarz data loggers are only capable of 5Hz update rate but not 5Hz logging. |
