The
COPY PORT
function enables you to interface the 941X to many
Personal Computers without the need for an RS-422-to-RS-232 con-
verter. Many PC application programs for waypoint/route loading, chart
programs, data logging, etc. can be used. The function “copies” the out-
put of the specified port 1 or port 2 data format (
NMEA 0180
,
NMEA
0183
,
DATAMARINE CDX
, or
RAYTHEON 0183
) to the RS-232
port’s output for direct connection to your computer.

key. If necessary, make changes now, using the
EDIT
menu key,
and press
ENTER
, then
RETURN
when you are done to return to
the

Change the
RS-232 SETUP
option (if necessary) to display the ap-
propriate
COPY PORT 1
or
COPY PORT 2
selection by pressing
the
EDIT
menu key and using the up/down cursor arrow keys to
change the selection. Press
ENTER
when you are finished, or

to leave the RS-232 port setup unchanged.
The 941X will now copy and output the specified port’s data format
through the RS-232 port to an external device.
The RS-232 port’s
DIAGNOSTIC
option is for future factory service di-
agnosis of 941X operating parameters.
Use this setting when the RS-232 port’s input or output functions are not
needed.
