A PC software design for monitoring receiver of BeiDou navigation satellite system

Satellite navigation monitoring receiver makes it possible that navigation system can provide high-reliability and high-precise measurement data. In this paper, the Personal Computer (PC) software controls the work status of a receiver. Therefore, it is necessary to design a reliable PC software for receiver working. This paper proposes a programming method with Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) of PC software for monitoring receiver which monitors the BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) of new civil signal. PC software reads the data from NPort and necessary information can be exactly displayed on the interface. Besides, the information can also be saved as a specified file. Compared to the traditional serial port, data can be transmitted by more than one port simultaneously through NPort. It has been proved that this method makes the transmission more effective than the traditional serial port.
