At this point, upon clicking ok, legible strings of GPS data should begin appearing on the laptop
screen. Here’s an example of a typical set of strings:
$GPGGA,191528.00,3851.0333,N,09737.2342,W,2,08,1.3,372.7,M,27.3,M,10.0,0100*69
$GPGSA,A,3,09,23,21,17,08,01,03,29,,,,,2.6,1.3,2.3*39
$GPRMC,191528.00,A,3851.0333,N,09737.2342,W,0.1,0.0,090998,6.3,E*48
If GPS data doesn’t appear, recheck the port and configuration settings to make sure they are
correct. If the data won’t appear correctly in HyperTerminal, consult your GPS supplier to see
what adjustments (connectors or software) are necessary to bring the signal into a computer. On
the other hand, if the signal appears correctly on HyperTerminal and it shows that the required
strings are being output, retry the unit with the Veris instrument. If it still doesn’t work, please call
Veris at 785-825-1978 to see how we can help solve the problem.
