1.6 Running the TSIP Interface Program
The Starter Kit includes a disk containing TSIP interface programs which run on a PC-
DOS platform. These programs aid system integrators in monitoring the receiver module's
performance and in developing the software interface for the GPS module. The TSIP
programs are described in detail in Appendix B, TSIP User's Guide.
1. Connect one end of the serial interface cable to Port 1 of the Starter Kit interface
unit. Connect the other end of the cable to COM1 or COM 2 of your PC.
2. Turn on the DC power source or plug in the AC/DC converter.
3. Turn on the PC.
4. Insert the GPS Tool Kit disk in the disk drive.
5. Go to the directory where you wish to establish the GPS tool kit sub directory. In
most cases, this will be the root directory on the C: drive.

Note – For detailed installation guidelines, read the install text file A:\README.TXT. The
