25.0.3 Serial Ports
If you are having problems receiving data from the position-finding instrument, this test
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, PORT4; 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 chartplotter 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]
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.
25.0.4 Modem test
Checks the Modem connections (to be used only if the C-COM Modem is connected).
