Ublox Get Speed
Provides the values of Speed and Course data fields.
  | This block is currently a beta version because it does not work with all Ublox GPS devices. If you are using this block, we would appreciate any feedback at tech@quanser.com.  | 
Library
MATLAB Command Line

qc_open_library('quarc_library_beta/Devices/Third-Party/Ublox/GPS')Description
        
    
The Ublox Get Speed block provides the values of Speed and Course data fields obtained from GPS data structure.
Input Ports
gps_data
A handle containing Ublox GPS data structure.
Output Ports
speed
              Value of Speed data field in m/s.
            
lon
            Value of Course data field in deg.
          
err
The error signal returns a negative value in case of invalid GPS data obtained from a Ublox unit.
Parameters and Dialog Box
        
    
Sample time
The sample time of the block. A sample time of 0 indicates that the block will be treated as a continuous time block. A positive sample time indicates that the block is a discrete time block with the given sample time.
A sample time of -1 indicates that the block inherits its sample time. Since this is a source block, only inherent the sample time when it is placed in a conditionally executed subsystem, like a Triggered or Enabled Subsystem, or in a referenced model.
To use the fundamental sampling time of the model, set the sample time to qc_get_step_size, which is a QUARC function that returns the fundamental sampling time of the model.
