Port A/Port B/Port C/Port D Parameter Selection - ashtech ZY-12 Information Supplement

Pin functions for the RS-232 cable that should be used to access the serial ports
are described in Chapter 1. Two different serial port cables are available: a single
RS-232 cable, P/N 700617 for ports A or B, and a dual serial cable, P/N 700619,
for ports A and C or B and D.
All ports output real-time messages, NMEA messages, VTS messages, accept
serial port commands, hose data, and operate in differential mode.
Following is a description of the screens and settings for all four serial ports.

Port A/Port B/Port C/Port D Parameter Selection

modes and rate of transmission for serial port A. Access this screen by selecting
PORT A on Screen 4. Similarly for Port B, C, or D. Table 3.12 describes the
screen parameters.
