Before using the Z3816A with SatStat, it is necessary to
initialize it.  I've included a program I wrote, GPS.EXE,
that should automatically do this for you.  If it is unable
to find your GPS, let me know and I can add a few more
features to it.

It will also continuously display the GPS status, if you
desire.

After the program runs, it will tell you the COMM parameters
you need to manually enter into the HP program, SatStat.
Enter the parameters at the CommPort/Settings menu of
SatStat.

You will need a null modem between your computer and the
GPS.  If you wish to make a null modem, here is the
connector wiring for 9 pin connectors on each end:

     Computer                 GPS

       3-----------------------2
       5-----------------------5

Good Luck!
