4.2 Serial Port Setup
Isis uses serial COM ports to acquire navigation, towfish telemetry and other
time-series information (for example, magnetics, gravity, etc.). Normally these
data are transmitted by a GPS receiver, integrated navigation computer, or by
the towfish itself.
With the Serial Port Setup dialog box, you can specify the serial navigation and
telemetry interfaces. An Isis system can have up to 16 serial COM ports.
The baseline Isis system comes with two COM ports: COM1 and COM2. Some
Isis systems do not have a PS/2 style trackball. In that case, COM2 is taken by
the trackball.
To access the Serial Port Setup dialog box:
1. Choose File→ Record Setup→Serial Ports.
The system displays the Serial Port Setup dialog box (Figure 4-6).
