====== Manually configuring a positioning device ======

**NOTE: this will be outdated once (if!) Scott updates the device drivers so that we could modify this information from the SDK (by reading from an easy-to-edit config textfile and then saving these to the filter via sSetConfig)**

{{documentation:airs_full_device_config.sdc}} - If you have no devices loaded into Streams5 yet, you can use File --> Load Device Configuration File to load all devices at once


  * Select a device by clicking on it, then right-click on it and choose "Configure Device"

{{ documentation:configuring_device_01.jpg }}


  * You will see a configuration dialog such as one of these. Make sure that //Log samples to external file// is **checked**, that you specify a log file (in C:\\FORESTRY), and that the COM port number is correct for the device

The log filenames you see in the images are full names, they didn't get cut off (//C:\FORESTRY\StreamsGPS//,//C:\FORESTRY\StreamsIMU//, and //C:\FORESTRY\StreamsLRF//). Streams5 will append extensions of .gps, .wbd, and .las respectively. AIRSLoader is set to timestamp the names after recording is finished, such as //C:\FORESTRY\StreamsGPS_2006.7.12--17.23.11.01.gps//
