The COM1 (or COM2) Properties dialog box is displayed. This dialog
box allows you to configure the RS-232 port of your PC.

Baud rate (Bits per second): 9600
Parity: None
Data bits: 8
Stop bits: 1

NOTE The RS-232C port configurations of the GPS Receiver and the PC must
be the same for communications between the two. If the GPS Receiver
is being powered up for the first time, set your PC to match the factory
default values listed above.
If an error-number prompt (E-xxx>) or no scpi> prompt is displayed
after pressing Return (or Enter) on your PC, the default values of the
GPS Receiver have been modified. See the subsections “Making
Changes to the Serial Port Settings (If Needed)” and “Determining the
Serial Port Settings” in Chapter 2 for more information.
