File Menu
The File Menu allows you to open, save, and print sensor configurations. The items in the File Menu work like most
Windows-based programs.
Comm Menu
The Comm (Communication) Menu allows you to set the port number, baud rate, and then connect and disconnect
from the sensor.
Setup
: Opens the Comm Setup Window. Select the serial port to which
the sensor is connected from the drop-down list. Then select
Auto
(the
program determines the baud rate on its own) or
Manual
(you then enter
the baud rate) for the baud rate entry.
Connect
: Select
Connect
to connect to the sensor to change or view the
configuration.
Disconnect
: Select
Disconnect
to disconnect from the sensor.
Config Menu
The Config (Configuration) Menu allows you
configure the sensor as it is connected.
Sensor Configuration (F6):
Opens the Sensor
Configuration Window, shown to the right. Many
of the fields in this window should be left alone.
Please refer to the beginning of this manual for
clarification about some of these fields. For the
most part, this window is used to enter a new
latitude, longitude, and altitude for the sensor. This
is especially helpful when you are programming
the sensor for use in a particular geographic
location.
Resetting the Unit (Reset Unit) performs a reset on
the unit, much like cycling the power.
Resetting the non-volatile memory (Reset
NonVol) will clear all of the data from the non-
volatile memory effectively causing the sensor to
be configured with factory defaults.
