NMEA 0183 output:
AS07-N2K sends out the GNSS messages via the NMEA 0183-RS422
output at a baud rate of 4800bps as default (Baud rates can be adjusted, see configuration
section).
4.2. Connecting AS07-C via USB for Windows Configuration
The AS07-C is supplied with a USB connector. The USB cable can be linked directly to a USB port on a
PC.
Will you need a driver to connect via USB?
To enable the USB data connection of the AS07-N2K, related hardware drivers may be needed
dependent on your system requirements.
Mac:
No driver required. For Mac OS X, the AS07-N2K will be recognized and shown as a USB modem. The
ID can be checked with the following steps:
1.
Plug the AS07-N2K into a USB port and launch Terminal.app
2.
Type: Is /dev/*sub*
3.
The Mac system will return a list of USB devices. AS07-N2K will display as -
“/dev/tty.usbmodemXYZ” where XYZ is a number. Nothing further needs to be done if it is listed.
Windows 7,8,10:
The drivers usually install automatically if your device is running an original Windows 10 version. A new
COM port will automatically show up in the device manager once powered and connected via USB.
The AS07-N2K registers itself to the computer as a virtual serial com port.
If the driver does not install automatically, it can be found on the included CD and downloaded from
www.quark-elec.com.
Checking the USB COM Port (Windows)
After the driver is installed (if needed), run the Device
Manager and check the
COM (port) number
. The port
number is the number assigned to an input device. These
can be generated randomly by your computer).
The Configuration software will require a COM port number in
order to access the data.
The port number can be found in Windows ‘Control
Panel>System>Device Manager’ under ‘Ports (COM & LPT)’.
Find something similar to ‘STMicroelectronics Virtual Com
Port’ in the list for the USB port. If the port num
ber need to be
changed for some reason, double click the AS07-N2K and
select the ‘Port Settings’ tab. Click the ‘Advanced’ button and
change the port number to the one required.
