Getting NavMon data into BWR

[jeff]

[From User TerryON]

I’m hoping somebody can help.
For some days now I have been attempting to get my NavMon data into BWR.

Navmon is showing data in the monitor window for VportA and I have selected com2: (Com1&3 are not available in drop down box) but when putting in com2: into NMEA input 1, checking enable and then hitting apply this is what I get:-

01-02 12:48: Unable to open com2 : on channel 1:
couldn’t open “com2 :”: no such file or directory
couldn’t open “com2 :”: no such file or directory
In nmea::nmea open_port
invoked from within
“nmea::nmea chan$k port $port”
invoked from within
“if [string match “com*” $port] {
set fh($k) [nmea::nmea chan$k port $port]
} else {
set fh($k) [nmea::nmea chan$k file $port -baud 2400]
}”

I have tried all the ports available in NavMon with same result.

Help please

Just to check , have you used virtual port A in Navmon PC as this should work with BWR.
Otherwise have a look here how to hook up on AGage site.

How to get your GPS data into Bluewater

it is not a BWR problem as i can hook up nicely.

Hi Tempest,
Yes I have used VportA in NavMon and in the monitor window data can be seen flowing.
The setup in the instrument manager in BWR is very simple and I have tried all the ports listed in NavMon without success!
I’m at a complete loss now as to what to try next?

Thanks
Terry

Hi Terry

As you can see been away long time. However may have a solution for your problem.
Try downloading following GPS gate client .
You wil be able to distribute your GPS signal to various “virtual” com ports.
