ComNav Vector G2 & G2B Installation & Operation Appendices
Document PN 29010078 V2.0 - 80 -
DRAFT #3 – 29 May 2009
Sending Commands to the G2
Another problem when using HyperTerminal with a G2 is that it’s hard to simply “type”
commands to the G2.
That’s because HyperTerminal is a “dumb terminal” program – it depends on the device it is
“talking to” (the G2, in this case) for “editing user input” … hit a key on the keyboard, and that
character immediately gets sent out to the G2.
But the G2 is does not have an “input editor” function (i.e., the Backspace & Delete keys
mean nothing to it), so you can not correct any wrong characters which you happen to type.
Nor does the G2 echo any characters it receives back out to the PC … so you can’t even see
what you’re typing
24
! And it’s even worse, if you are trying to type commands while the G2 is
sending a continuous stream of data …
The solution to this is to use “script” files – simple text files, containing the command(s) that
you want to send to the G2, which you can create with any text editor (e.g., Notepad,
WordPad, Word
25
, etc. on a PC).

… unless you set HyperTerminal to echo the keys you type onto the PC display (which can cause other problems).

With MS Word®, be sure to save your script files as “simple text”; Word 2003 calls these “plain text (*.txt)” in the Save
As dialog, older versions of Word called them “MS-DOS text (*.txt)” or something similar. Word’s normal default file
format is “Word document (*.doc)”, which will not work properly in HyperTerminal with a G2.
