Setup Menu-Interface Tab - Garmin GPS 76 Owner's Manual

Setup Menu — 'Interface' Tab
The Interface Tab contains one fi eld, 'Serial Data Format'. This fi eld contains
eight settings that allow the GPS 76 to communicate with computer software and
other electronic devices.
• GARMIN — Allows the GPS 76 to communicate with GARMIN software and
other GARMIN GPS units.
• GARMIN DGPS — Allows the GPS 76 to communicate with GARMIN Dif-
ferential Correction devices. The unit can have the beacon receiver scan for
an available DGPS beacon or can tune the beacon receiver to the frequency
and bit rate of a nearby DGPS beacon.
• Causes the unit to transmit NMEA data. It also allows the GPS
NMEA —
76 to accept NMEA data from another NMEA device, like a echo sounder.
The baud (speed of communication in bits per second) is displayed in the
Baud fi eld.
• Text Out — Allows the GPS 76 to output simple text data that includes,
date, time, position, and velocity information. The Baud can be set to 1200,
2400, 4800, or 9600 bps.
• RTCM In — Allows the GPS 76 to accept DGPS information from a device
supplying RTCM data in a SC-104 format. The Baud can be set to 1200,
2400, 4800, or 9600 bps.
• RTCM In/NMEA Out — Functions the same as the 'GARMIN DGPS' setting
except, the unit will output NMEA 0183, version 2.3 sentences, GPRMC,
GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV, GPGLL, GPBOD, GPRTE, and GPWPL.
• RTCM In/Text Out — Functions the same as the 'RTCM In' setting except,
the unit will output simple text data that includes date, time, position,
and velocity information. The Baud can be set to 1200, 2400, 4800, or
9600 bps.
• None — Turns off all serial communication.
