• C-CARD Connector

15.5.3 Serial Ports
If you are having problems receiving data from the position-finding instrument, this test should help
determine the problem.
• Change Parameters
To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port (Signal Source)
between UART0 or UART1, the Baud Rate between 4800 or 9600, the Data Bits (Word Length)
between 7 or 8, the Parity between EVEN, ODD or NONE, the Stop Bits between 1 or , the
Polarity between “+” or “-”. Default settings are: Port = UART1, Baud Rate = 4800, Data Bits =
8, Parity = NONE, Stop Bits = 1, Polarity = +.
• Input Data Display
To allow the chart plotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data exactly as
it received.
If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong input
parameters for your particular receiver, for example, NMEA-018 instead of NMEA-0183. Check
your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper interface format. If the screen
is blank, you may have a broken connection, and no data is being received. Use ‘ZOOM IN’ to
stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, ‘ENT’ to show data in hex or ASCII mode (normal or
small) and ‘ESC’ to exit.
