Introduction The GPS25PM program in the program group can accept binary phase data output from GPS25 XL or GPS25LP based sensor boards at 1200, 2400, 4800, or 9600 baud. The default settings are com1 and 9600 baud. The program will perform the following functions: - display and log phase data output by GPS sensors. - upload almanac, position, and time information. - download almanac and ephemeris information. The diplay page is divided into three sections. The top-most section contains the following information updated once a second: position, velocity, estimated position error, track, and time. The middle section contains receiver measurement information for stellites which the GPS sensor is currently tracking. This information is updated once a second: satellite number, signal to noise ratio, phase, pseudo range, and accumulated cycles. The bottom section contains program messages. GPS25PM can be invoked from a DOS prompt witht the following optional parameters: c:\garmin\sensorbd\gps25pm /com1 /b:9600 or ran from windows with the icon installed by the setup program. This file contains additions and/or corrections to the Owner's Manual that came with your sensor board evaluation software. Due to the lead time necessary for printing a manual, some information about certain features of the sensor board evaluation software may not defined at press time. 2.

Un-Install To un-install the evaluation software, delete the following files from the user selected directory (usually C:\GARMIN\SENSORBD): GPSCFG EXE GPSCFG HLP GPSCFG ICO GPSCFG TXT GPS25PM EXE GPS25PM TXT GPS25PM ICO NMEAVWR EXE NMEAVWR TXT NMEAVWR ICO TEXTTYPE ICO Delete any user configuration files from the user selected directory (usually C:\GARMIN\SENSORBD). If the directory is empty, it can also be deleted. Using the windows program manager, delete the following icons from the Garmin Program Group: NMEA VWR NMEA VWR NOTES GPSCFG GPSCFG NOTES GPS25PM GPS25PM NOTES If the Garmin Program Group is empty it can also be deleted with the Windows Program Manager. In the windows subdirectory delete the GPSCFG.INI file. 4. Changing the GPS25PM Communications port. Gps25pm is a DOS based program which can also be executed through the windows operating system.
