D.5 Connecting the GPS Sensor
Consult the Installation and Operator's Manual for information on installation, power
requirements and cables specific to your Placer family sensor.
Connect the serial port of the sensor to the computer's COM1 or COM2 port. The default
serial port settings for GPSSK are:
• 4800 baud
• 8 data bits
• 1 stop bit
• no parity
These default settings match the default settings for most Placer family sensors. Consult
the Installation and Operator's Manual for the actual default settings and type of serial
port on your sensor.
If the sensor is connected to COM2, start GPSSK by entering the command:
GPSSK /2
*
Note – A null modem may be required when connecting the sensor to a personal
computer. The serial port on your computer is a DTE port (data terminal equipment)
designed to connect to a DCE port (data communications equipment). If your sensor's
serial port is DTE, you must use a null modem adapter.
