If it becomes necessary to send GPS data into your PC, you will use a program called
HyperTerminal. This program is in all Windows software. It is designed to record serial data
streaming into a serial or USB port on the computer. The purpose of this is two-fold: 1) it verifies
whether your GPS and cables are delivering the proper messages, and 2) it give Veris
Technologies support personnel a GPS data file to test.
Here’s how to use HyperTerminal
1. Plug the GPS output cable into the laptop serial input (or USB-serial hub); no null modem is
needed
2. Verify in Device Manager which Com port the GPS is connected to (Start--Settings
—Control
Panel —System—Hardware—Device Manager—Ports
3.
Start the “HyperTerminal” program under “Accessories” in Windows.

for the name of your connection and then hit “OK”.
