u-blox u-center 2 GNSS evaluation software

u-blox has announced its latest global navigation satellite system (GNSS) evaluation software, u-center 2. Running on Microsoft Windows, the software offers anyone working with 10th-generation u‑blox GNSS technology an intuitive interface to configure GNSS products, evaluate their performance, improve the quality of their software and experience the performance boost achieved using GNSS-related services.

u-center 2 is the successor to the u-center GNSS evaluation software, for design engineers developing applications using GNSS receivers. Fully compatible with the latest u‑blox M10 GNSS technology, u-center 2 is designed from scratch to offer improved overall performance, as well as feature additions that simplify the configuration, evaluation and software development of GNSS-based solutions.

The product provides personalised workspaces with adaptive window elements offering a choice of views to observe static and dynamic behaviour of the connected GNSS receiver. The built-in log player, which accepts log files from the previous version of the software, features easy message- and time-based navigation and lets users set the playback speed, making the development of end products efficient. Automatic updates mean the software always includes the latest features with minimal user effort. Additionally, the software should simplify the evaluation of the growing portfolio of GNSS-related location services.

With its fresh and minimalist user interface, quick product configuration designed for key use cases and optimised data logging, u-center 2 is free to download now for users looking to evaluate u-blox M10 GNSS products. Its predecessor will continue to be used for GNSS solutions based on earlier technology platforms.
