|

I have a kln 89b and have hooked the output serial( pin 2 ) up to a computer to read what sentences it is putting out and ground pin 4 on the serial cable is attached to pin 14 in the gps. However, I have it set to 9600 n 8 1 and any variations on 9600. However, while I am able to to read some characters, most are unintelligible.
Granted the unit and antenna are in the garage and unable to get a satellite lock, however I would not have expected junk characters to be output.
Any thoughts on how to set the serial port on the reading computer?
Thank You.

Scott,
You've got the right pins and the right serial settings at 9600/N/8/1. The
KLN-89B doesn't output NMEA sentences or even the modern King/Aviation
serial format that would be readable in hyperterminal. Each sentence starts
with a STX (ASCII 0x02) and ends with a ETX (ASCII 0x03) so you're going to
see some ASCII 'unprintables' along with readable text. There's not any
carriage returns or line feeds either so it's probably running off the
hyperterminal screen in funny ways too. In summary, you're not going to be
able to easily monitor the serial data out of the -89 on a PC dumb terminal,
you'll have to write some software to parse the sentences. If you're going
to try that, find a King avionics dealer and copy the 5 pages out of the
KLN89/89B install manual that define the serial data sentences.

I knew the 89b was a particular beast with its rs232 sentence output, I just didn't realize it was that bad...*heavy sigh*...though I had hoped it was just noise on the data or the ground reference was just a bit off...
I have what I thought was a complete installation manual( part# 006-00748-0000 ), but it would seem I only have the pinouts and associated installation info.
Thanx for the info...

Scott,
It's not Bad, its Binary!
