should help determine the problem.
Change Parameters
To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port (Signal
Source) between PORT 1, PORT 2, PORT 3; the Baud Rate between 300, 1200, 2400,
4800, 9600, 38400, 115200; the Data Bits (Word Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity
between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits between 1 or 2. Default settings are: Port = PORT
2, Baud Rate = 4800, Data Bits = 8, Parity = none, Stop Bits = 1.
Input Data Display
To allow the GPS Chart Plotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data
exactly as it is received.
If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong
input parameters for your particular receiver, for example, Baud Rate 9600 instead of Baud
Rate 4800. Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper
parameter. If the screen is blank, you may have a broken connection, and no data is being
received or you may have connected the device to the other input port.
Use
[ZOOM IN] to stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, [ENT] to show data in hex
or ASCII mode (normal or small) and [CLR] to exit.
Loop-Back Test
This is a special test done during the production phase to check the serial ports integrity.
A special connector is required.
