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 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 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 nonvolatile 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. 190-00885-07 GPS 17x HVS Technical Specifications Page 29 Rev. A
