When the instrument is powered from a set of
internal batteries you should select the correct
battery type (Alkaline or Rechargeable). It is
essential for the right detection of the capacity
of the battery pack.
7.3 SETTING THE INTERFACE PARAMETERS – COMMUNICATION PORTS
The Communication Ports position enables
switching GPS, selecting and programming
the communication port(s) of the instrument
(RS232 or Bluetooth).
If GPS is switched on the GPS view becomes
active (path: <Menu> / Display /
Display Modes), which shows the GPS status,
co-ordinates, velocity and date and time.
Note: GPS results are transmitted to the instrument from the external GPS device.
For the RS232 serial port, two parameters should be defined: transmission
speed (Baud Rate: 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38000, 57600 or
115200 bits/s) and the time limit during which the data transfer should be
performed (Time Out).
The transmission speed should be the same as in the connected device to
ensure successful data transfer.
The default value of the Time Out parameter is equal to one second, but this
may be too short for the printers, which are not fast enough. In such cases, the
Time Out parameter should be increased.
To use the Bluetooth
®
interface, you should
key in the Authorisation code to pair another
device with the instrument.
Authorisation code can be changed in the
text editor screen with a virtual keyboard,
which is opened with the ◄ / ► key.
When Bluetooth is selected, the grey
“Bluetooth” icon is displayed while there is no
connection with another device. When
devices are paired, the “Bluetooth” icon
changes its colour to green.
