To setup a Compass Sensor that is input to the PC,
(Trackman Software is installed on this PC) click on
the “Trackman (PC)” button. (This is the same as
clicking on the Device List and selecting Compass
Setup.) A dialog box labeled “Compass Sensor Input
Setup” is displayed. This only allows input via RS232
serial port or an IP socket. No Analog function. Setup
the port to agree with the compass’ parameters. See
Setup  Data Output above for IP (net) description.
COM Port Settings: See section 2 (Installation) for
wiring the compass to the Deck Unit COMMS connect-
or. Select the TrackPoint 3 Deck Unit comport that
the compass connects to (COM2 or COM3). Set the
baud rate, Parity, Data Bits and Stop Bits to agree
with the compass’ serial port protocol.
Sentence: The Input Format allows selection of ei-
ther “HDM”, “HDT”, “HDG”, “PRDID” or “PSXN” NMEA
formats. Press OK to use the set parameters or Cancel to ignore.
