If GPS data doesn‘t appear, recheck the port and configuration settings to make
sure they are correct. If the data won‘t appear correctly in HyperTerminal, consult
your GPS supplier to see what adjustments (connectors or software) are necessary
to bring the signal into a computer.
9. If the signal appears correctly on HyperTerminal and it shows that the required
strings are being output, highlight a page of strings, copy and paste into Word or
Wordpad before exiting HyperTerminal.

Retry the unit with the Veris instrument. If it still doesn‘t work, please email the
page of GPS strings from HyperTerminal to
[email protected] , along with your
contact information.
