Real time system for acquiring and logging the plan position using NI MyRIO controller

Present paper proposes a system for establishing in real time the current geographical positioning with high accuracy. The system is composed by a NI (National Instruments) MyRIO controller equipped with FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and Real time technologies which communicates with a laptop as the host computer and a GPS (Global Positioning System) module. Using an appropriate soft application accomplished in LabVIEW, the GPS data is processed with 10 Hz and having Internet connection, the application may also set the current positioning on Google Earth maps. This is possible by designing shared variables which provide communication in real time between files. The update rate is set to 10Hz. The LabVIEW application can save the GPS data into documents in order the information to be post-processed.
