Custom Port Configuration
TSIPCHAT can be used to customize the Lassen SQ GPS receiver
configuration settings and to save a configuration to non-volatile
memory. The most recent port configuration is stored in BBRAM.
This eliminates the need to repeat setup each time the receiver power
is cycled. However, if the battery-backed power is accidentally lost,
the port configuration automatically resets to either what was saved in
the non-volatile memory (Flash) or to the factory default.
Tip – To ensure continuous operation, store all port configuration changes
in the non-volatile memory.
Following are step-by-step instructions for using TSIPCHAT to
customize Lassen SQ GPS receiver port configuration.
Customizing the Configuration
1. Insert the CD in the CD-ROM drive of your computer.
2. Open a DOS window and set the path to the TSIPCHAT
location.
3. To run the program, type TSIPCHAT –c1 if attached to PC
COM1, or type TSIPCHAT –c2 if attached to PC COM2.
4. Power-up the receiver. Automatic report streams should be
scrolling up in the DOS window. Assuming that your receiver is
set to the default configuration, the settings will be: 9600 baud,
8-odd-1.
Note – If data is not being output after receiver power up, use the “^i”
command in TSIPCHAT to reset the COM1/COM2 setting in PC (not
the receiver).
Tip – Entering “?” in the TSIPCHAT window displays all the available
commands and their corresponding TSIP packets.
