and 1 stop bit, set both switches A and B to 9.
Direct connection of GPS
It is possible to connect your GPS directly to Deckman. The main
advantage of this is that you can easily see if you lose GPS signal for
any reason and Deckman may also receive the GPS data at a higher
frequency.
After clicking
Next
to setup the communications with the instruments,
you will be presented with a dialog which controls how your GPS is
connected. Select
Instrument System
if your GPS is connected via your
instruments or
Deckman
for a direct connection, followed by
Finish.
Show incoming data
After you have connected and correctly configured your instruments,
and possibly GPS (if going directly to Deckman as described above),
you may wish to check that the instrument data is being received by
Deckman. Click
gmenu>show incoming data
, select either
Instrument
Data
or
GPS Data
followed by
Start
. You should then see the data in
the window of this dialog.
Deckman re-installation over an existing
version
Note
. This section should be skipped if NOT installing over an existing
version.
With Deckman running and with an instrument system connected,
choose
gmenu>configure comms
and make a note of the settings in the
Communications dialog. For the old style dongle (serial number
beginning 1071) you must also make a note of parameters: in Notepad
open the
Deckman.ini
file (see “
deckman.ini
” in Chapter 12) and note
the
[livechart] path
. Close Notepad.
