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.

The Comm (Communication) Menu allows you to set the port number, baud rate, and then connect and

disconnect from the sensor.

Disconnect: Select Disconnect to disconnect from

the sensor.

The Config (Configuration) Menu allows you

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.

Please refer to the beginning of this document for

specific information 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.

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.
