File Menu; Comm Menu; Config Menu - Garmin GPS 16 Technical Specifications

File Menu

The File Menu allows you to open, save, and print sensor configurations. The items in the File Menu work
like most Windows-based programs.

Comm Menu

The Comm (Communication) Menu allows you to set the port number, baud rate, and then connect and
disconnect from the sensor.
Disconnect: Select Disconnect to disconnect from
the sensor.

Config Menu

The Config (Configuration) Menu allows you
configure the sensor as it is connected.
Sensor Configuration (F6): Opens the Sensor
Configuration Window, shown to the right. Many
of the fields in this window should be left alone.
Please refer to the beginning of this document for
specific information about some of these fields.
For the most part, this window is used to enter a
new Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude for the
sensor. This is especially helpful when you are
programming the sensor for use in a particular
geographic location.
Resetting the Unit (Reset Unit) performs a reset
on the unit, much like cycling the power.
Resetting the non-volatile memory (Reset
NonVol) will clear all of the data from the non-
volatile memory.
NMEA Sentence Selections (F7): Displays the
NMEA Sentence Selections Window. If the
sentence is enabled, a check mark appears in the
box to the left of the sentence name. Click the box
to enable or disable to the sentence.

on its own) or Manual (you then enter the baud rate) for the Baud
Rate entry.
Connect: Select Connect to connect to the sensor to change or
view the configuration.
