The program GPSMON32

The program GPSMON32 can be used to monitor and program all essential

functions of Meinberg GPS-Receivers. The Software is executable under Win9x/2k/
NT. To install GPSMON32 just run Setup.exe from the included USB stick and
follow the instructions of the setup program.

To obtain a connection between your PC and the GPS-receiver, connect the receivers
COM0 port to a free serial port of your PC. The PCs comport used by the program
GPSMON32 can be selected in submenu 'PC-Comport' in menu 'Connection'.

Also transfer rate and framing used by the program are selected in this menu.
Communication between the clock and the PC comes about, only if the GPS serial
port is configured in the same way as the PCs comport. You can enforce an access, if
the GPS serial port is not configured with appropriate parameters for communicati-
on. Select the menu item 'Enforce Connection' in menu 'Connection' and click
'Start' in the appearing window. Some firmware versions of GPS167 do not support
this way of setting up a connection. If 'Enforce Connection' doesn't succeed
apparently, please change the serial port parameter of GPS COM0 manually to the
PCs parameters.
