1.2 Communications
1.2.1 Terminal Programs
A variety of terminal utility programs may be used for serial communication
with the receivers, however, it’s important that the communication
parameters between the program and the receiver be matched (match baud
rate of terminal program to receiver with an 8 data bit, no parity, and 1 stop
bit setting).
You must also ensure that when you press the PC computer’s Enter key to
terminate a NMEA message, that the carriage return is appended with a line
feed, as is required by NMEA.
