File Menu; Comm Menu; Config Menu - Garmin GPS 17HVS - Receiver Module 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.

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. Refer to the
beginning of this manual for clarification 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.

Setup: Opens the Comm Setup Window, shown to the left. Select the Serial
Port to which the sensor is connected from the drop-down list. Then select
Auto (the program determines the baud rate 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.
Disconnect: Select Disconnect to disconnect from the sensor.
