Operator's Manual Waypoint
When sending data to the CDU, it must be sent in block form, followed
by (with an appended) CR (carriage return) and LF (line feed). Normal
communications programs, like Windows 3.1 or 3.11 Terminal are suf-
ficient to get the job done. Unfortunately, Hyperterminal in Windows
95 doesn't provide as simple a terminal emulation program as Win-
dows 3.11, and we have found it unreliable. We suggest that a third
party terminal program be used with Windows 95.
Using Windows Terminal, do the following (from the Program Man-

1.
Connect the CDU's port 2 RS-232 port to the PC's communications
port (Refer to the Installation & Service Manual).
2. On the CDU press the CFG key until CFGl screen is displayed.
3. Scroll down the menu to NMEA Out 2.
4. Press the Ekey.
5. If the port is already Active
(Yes),
write down which NMEA sen-
tences are set to Yes, then set all of the NMEA sentences to No.
You need to do this to record just the waypoint data.
If the port is not Active (No), change it to Yes.
6. Scroll down to the WPL record and change it On.
7. Select the Details softkey.
8. Set Include Waypoint Names to either No or Ye\". Refer to WPL-
Waypoint Location - NMEA Compliant and WPL - Waypoint With
Symbols & Description - NMEA 0183 Non-Compliant sections in
this manual to determine the correct format for your purpose.
9. Set Decimals in Position to 4.
10. Press the Done softkey.
11. Set the WPL record to Off(you will need to turn the data off while
setting up the computer).
12. On the computer, double click on the Accessories icon.
13. Double click on the Terminal icon.
14. Click on the Settings menu.
