File Menu
The File Menu allows you to open, save, and print sensor configurations. The items in the File Menu work like most
Windows-based programs.
Comm Menu
The Comm (Communication) Menu allows you to set the port number, baud rate, and then connect 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. Then select Auto (the program
determines the baud rate on its own) or Manual (you then enter the baud
rate) for the baud rate entry.
Connect: Select Connect to connect to the sensor to change or view the
configuration.
Disconnect: Select 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 be left alone. Refer to the beginning of
this manual for clarification about some of
these fields. For the most part, 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.
Resetting the unit (Reset Unit) performs a
reset on the unit, much like cycling the power.
Resetting the non-volatile memory (Reset
NonVol) will clear all of the data from the
non-volatile memory.
NMEA Sentence Selections (F7): Displays the NMEA Sentence Selections
window. If the sentence is enabled, a check mark appears in the box to the
left of the sentence name. Click the box to enable or disable to the sentence.
