Troubleshooting 

Testing and evaluation of serial communications is best done by reducing the 
whole system to small manageable systems.  Usually some portions of the whole 
system are working.  The first steps involve finding what is working.  During this 
process you may find parts of the system that are not working or mistakes that can 
be easily corrected.  Fix each subsystem before testing others.  

6.1

 

Testing and Evaluating Serial Communications 

Test the GPS16X-HVS for proper operation including the baud rate and output 
string.  Use a computer, terminal emulator software, a serial port (RS-232), and a 
9-pin to pigtail cable (SC110/sockets).  The computer and serial port can be the 
same as used to communicate with the datalogger.  Terminal emulation software is 
common.  Hyperterm is supplied as part of Windows™ and works.  Procomm™ is 
another communication software package that works well.  

Set up the software for the correct serial port, 38.4 kbps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit and 
no parity.  Flow control should be none.  Using the SC110 cable, connect the 
GPS16X-HVS to the computer serial port.  Power up the GPS16X-HVS.  The 
GPS antenna should have a clear view of the sky.  Don’t expect the GPS antenna 
to work indoors.  The $GPGGA and GPRMC strings should be displayed once a 
second.  Make sure the $GPGGA string is showing a valid GPS fix.  A valid GPS 
fix will display time, position and have a GPS quality number greater than zero.
