Setting up NAV-VIEW
3.3
With the DMU380SA Series product powered up and connected to your PC serial port,
open the NAV-VIEW software application.
1. NAV-VIEW should automatically detect the DMU380SA Series product and
display the serial number and firmware version if it is connected.
2. If NAV-VIEW does not connect, check that you have the correct COM port
selected. You will
find this under the “Setup” menu.
Select the appropriate COM
port and allow the unit to automatically match the baud rate by leaving the
“Auto: match baud rate” selection marked.
3. If the status indicator at the bottom is green and states,
, you’re ready
to go. If the status indicator doesn’t say connected and is red, check the
connections between the DMU380SA Series product and the computer, check the
power supply, and verify that the COM port is not occupied by another device.
4. Under the “View” menu you have several choices of data presentation.

display is the default setting and will provide a real time graph of all the
DMU380SA Series data. The remaining choices will be discussed in the
following pages.
