Document PN 29010078 V2.0 - 34 -
DRAFT #3 – 29 May 2009
Using a PC for Vector G2 Control & Display
Figure
14 shows the typical connections when using a PC, instead of a Navigator G2 Display,
to configure the G2, and/or monitor its status.
Note: the PC is not necessary
6
, if the G2’s factory-default configuration
(see page 46) meets your needs, and if you do not wish to monitor
any of the G2’
s various status values.
This wiring scheme uses only the G2’s Port A RS-232 output and input.

Figure 14 – Typical Wiring with a PC for Vector G2 Control & Display
The PC would typically be running a “dumb terminal” program (e.g., the Hyperterminal®
program that comes with Windows® on PCs), or Hemisphere’s own GPS Control & Display
program, PocketMAX PC
7
. More details on using Hyperterminal can be found in Appendix 2;
see the PocketMAX User Manual for usage instructions on it.
Using a Vector G2 with a PC Navigation Program
Figure
15 shows the typical connections when using a PC, instead of a Chartplotter or some
other type of NMEA Navigation equipment, to perform “Navigation display &/or control”
functions – viewing the vessel’s position on a chart, setting waypoints and so on.
This wiring scheme uses the G2’s Port A RS-232 output (and input, if the PC is also going to
be used to control the G2), and the Port B RS-422 output.

… neither is a Navigator G2 Display System, see page 30.

This program can be found on the CD that is supplied with the G2, and on Hemisphere’s web site. Note that there is
also a PDA version of PocketMAX, which can be run on a PocketPC. Use of that version, and wiring a PDA to the G2,
are not described in this manual.
