25.0.2 Cartridges

To check the C-CARD and its connector.

Internal Data Base Test

To test the WorldWideBackground.

C-CARD Test

To test the C-CARD. There are the possible situations:

1.if there is a C-CARD inserted in the slot and there is not a malfunction, the name of the C-CARD zone and the message "OK" are shown.

2.if there is a C-CARD inserted in the slot, but it is a defective C-CARD, the name of the C-CARD zone and the message "Faulty" are shown.

3.if there is not any C-CARD inserted in the slot, the message "not present" is shown.

4.if there is a User C-CARD inserted in the slot, the message USER C-CARD is shown.

C-CARD Connector

Indicates if there is a malfunction in the connector.

25.0.3 Serial Ports

If you are having problems receiving data from the position-finding instrument, this test should help determine the problem.

Change Parameters

To change the parameters of the serial interface. This menu allows to select the Port (Signal Source) between PORT 1, PORT 2, PORT 3, PORT4; the Baud Rate between 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 38400, 115200; the Data Bits (Word Length) between 7 or 8, the Parity between even, odd or none, the Stop Bits between 1 or 2. Default settings are: Port = PORT 2, Baud Rate = 4800, Data Bits = 8, Parity = none, Stop Bits = 1.

Input Data Display

To allow the GPS chartplotter to act as a computer terminal and display the incoming data exactly as it is received. If the data displayed on the screen is unrecognizable, you may have selected the wrong input parameters for your particular receiver, for example, Baud Rate 9600 instead of Baud Rate 4800. Check your receiver manual to be sure that you have selected the proper parameter. If the screen is blank, you may have a broken connection, and no data is being received or you may have connected the device to the other input port. Use [ZOOM] to stop (or continue after pause) data displaying, [ENT] to show data in hex or ASCII mode (normal or small) and [CLR] to exit.

Loop-Back Test

This is a special test done during the production phase to check the serial ports integrity. A special connector is required.

25.0.4 Modem test

Checks the Modem connections (to be used only if the C-COM Modem is connected). Press [ENT] to select the desired Modem Port to the Port to which the Modem C-COM is connected.
