The RS-232 port is used to interface to any of the following:
•
an external DGPS dif:ferential receiver
• an external device that accepts SC-104 differential corrections
•
a personal computer
Connecting to a differential receiver lets the unit receive differential cor-
rections through the RS-232 port. This function is useful if the 951/952
isn't equipped with an internal differential receiver, but you want to navi-
gate using differential corrections.
If the 951/952 features an internal differential receiver, you can use the
RS-232 port to transmit its differential corrections to another device that
accepts them.
If you want to download waypoints to a personal computer, or have your
dealer or Northstar upgrade the 951/952 with new operating software,
you can connect to a PC using the RS-232 port. The following sections
describe the RS-232 port's various settings.
SC-104 OUT outputs differential corrections from the 951XD's or 952XD's
internal differential receiver to an external device that accepts the stan-
dard SC-104 data stream. When using SC-104 OUT, be sure that the
BAUD RATE setting also matches the baud rate requirements of the
receiving device.
SC-104 IN accepts differential corrections from any external source trans-
mitting the standard SC-104 data stream. Use this setting if the unit isn't
equipped with an internal DGPS beacon receiver and you want to receive
differential corrections from an external source. When using SC-104 IN,
