NMEA header
Pressing the hotkey “Reset Values” (s. Fig. 152, position 5) will set all menu items to default
values.
To go out of dialog confirming all changes, which have been made within the sub-dialogs for
the single settings, press “OK”.
Note
Pressing “ESC” instead of “OK” leaving the “NMEA Compass” dialog, all previously
configured changes of single settings will not be adopted.
Port
This setting defines, which communication port is connected to the external compass.
o
The communication port can be changed by pressing one of the visible hotkeys, e.g.:
“No Compass”, “COM1” or “COM2” (s. Fig. 152, positions 1, 2 or 3), or the hotkey “Edit
Value” while menu item “Port” is marked (s. Fig. 152, position 4).
Using the hotkeys 1, 2 or 3 on the top level dialog “NMEA Compass Configuration” (s.
Fig. 152), the value of the “Port” setting can be changed without opening the
corresponding dialog.
o
Pressing the hotkey “Edit Value” the following sub-dialog will be opened (s. Fig. 153).

o
Choose the new setting using one of the hotkeys (s. Fig. 153), which will then appear
in the “New Setting” field.
Selecting “COM1” or “COM2” (s. Fig. 153, positions 2 and 3) configures the
corresponding communication port as the input port for the external compass data. By
choosing “No compass” setting (s. Fig. 153, position 1), the external compass data will
be ignored. “No compass” has to be selected, if no external compass is connected, in
order to avoid displaying the corresponding warning on the “Bearing” page (“No
Compass” warning).
o
Press the hotkey “Set Default” to use the default value (“No Compass”).
o
Confirm the setting with “OK” or leave the dialog without adopting the new value by
pressing “ESC”.
