Menus

Windows-based programs.
Comm Menu
The Comm (Communication) Menu allows you to set the port number and baud rate, as well as connect to the sensor
and disconnect from the sensor.
Setup
: Opens the Comm Setup window. Select the serial port to which the
sensor is connected from the drop-down list. Select

determines the baud rate on its own) or

(you enter the baud rate) for
the baud rate entry.

to connect to the sensor in order to change or
view the configuration.
Disconnect

to disconnect from the sensor.
Config Menu
The Config (Configuration) Menu allows you
to configure the sensor as it is connected.
Sensor Configuration (F6):
Opens the
Sensor Configuration window, shown to the
right. Many of the fields in this window
should not be changed. Refer to the beginning
of this manual for information on many of
these fields. This window is used to enter a
new latitude, longitude, and altitude for the
sensor. This is especially helpful when you
are programming the sensor for use in a
particular geographic location.
Click

unit, much like cycling the power.
Resetting the non-volatile memory (
Reset
