Debug tracking devices

Analyzing data sent through the mobile network and debug GPS hardware.

Data from Racemap platform

Track Chart

The interactive Track Chart provides insights into your GPS devices at running operations. The Track Chart features:

Delay of received coordinates: The y-axis indicates the delay of received coordinates in seconds.
Battery History: A dedicated second y-axis displays the battery history of your GPS tracker, enabling you to monitor power consumption.

Tracks API

Pull the timestamps when a specific device recorded a location and when Racemap server received the same location, eg. to check the delay in sending live data through the mobile network.

Record logs of tracking hardware

Queclink GL320

Requirements

Tracking device is turned on.
UART data cable
Windows computer
We use the CoolTerm software to record the logs of the tracking device. Download CoolTerm here https://coolterm.en.lo4d.com/windows
Enable the USB port of the computer for UART communication. Read documentation.

The device needs to be connected to the computer to record logs. You have to take the computer with you when reproducing specific tracking scenarios.

On Clicking on CoolTerm icon. The first window you see is this

When connecting a powered-on device to the COM port via the UART cable, CoolTerm won't display it automatically. Users must configure CoolTerm each time it's opened, making sure the device is powered on and connected before initiating the application.
