Serial Ports

Change parameters: Changes the parameters of the serial interface. This menu
allows to select the Port (Signal Source), the Baud Rate, the Data Bits (Word
Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits
between 1 or 2.
Input Data Display: Allows the chart plotter to act as a computer terminal and
display the incoming data exactly as it is received. If the data displayed on the
screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong input parameters for
your particular receiver. Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have
selected the proper interface format. If the screen is blank, the connection may
be interrupted, and no data is being received. Use [ZOOM IN] to stop (or con-
tinue after pause) data displaying, [ENTER] to show data in hex or ASCII mode
(normal or small) and [CLEAR] to exit.

Modem test

Checks the Modem connections. Press [ENTER] to select the desired Port related
to the connections made, to the Port to which the Modem C-COM is connected.

External Alarm

Checks the External Alarm.

Engine Menu

The transfer of the operating hours is handled differently by different engines.
Some engines transmit the operating hours – and all other engine data too – at
specific intervals of time. Others transmit the operating hours only on request. To
ensure that the plotter sends this request regularly, the 'Engine Hours Request'
must be switched to ON.
