A special program called [Link] reads the binary data on serial port and sends it out on
UDP/IP (local pc [Link]) as ASCII data in ORE TP‐II format (simple ASCII)
[Link]
The program [Link] is included in NaviPac 3.5 p17 and is located on the EIVA bin folder
(\eiva\navipac\bin or similar)
The program must be started manually or included in the NaviPac warm start list:
There is some basic setting to the program – it’s found in the INI file called [Link] –located at the
main NaviPac folder (\eiva\navipac)

• Port
Identification of the UDP/IP port used for internal communication. A value like 9999 should be
OK
IN
• Port
The serial COM port number
• Baudrate
I/O settings: Baud rate
• Databits
I/O settings: Number of data bits
• Stopbits
I/O settings: Number of stop bits
• Parity
I/O settings; OParity: 0 = NONE, 1 = Odd, 2 = Even
The program starts minimized but has a small window assigned to it:
The two upper parts shows the input/output definition from the INI file
The middle part displays the incoming data stream and interpretation
The lower part displays the resulting ASCI string
