- "Intervalle de mesure de la position GPS"
The second field enables you to set the interval time between two items of data to OpenFlyers server (and so the refresh interval time on the RadarWeb page). We do not recommend to set "5s" because of the data size saturation due to the GSM network.
The third field enables you to set the interval time between two GPS position record in memory and in the USB stick.

Data sending process throw GSM network
If the GSM swith is ON, the AeroBox will try to find a GSM network.
Once the the connexion is established, the "GSM" led lights every X seconds according to the "Intervalle de rafraîchissement sur le site internet" field configuration.
The AeroBox will send all positions stored in memory since last sending process.
Example: if the AeroBox send a data every 20 seconds and the recording interval time is set to 10 seconds, then the AeroBox will send the last 2 positions.
When the AeroBox is unable to send a position due to a GSM lack of coverage or data saturation on the network, it will try again until it successes.
