Can't copy/paste Lat/Lon/Alt coordinates into Serial Menu Base Geodetic coordinates

Subject of the issue

I can't paste lat, long, height (aka altitude) into the Serial Menu Base Geodetic coordinates.

I have the coordinates in NotePad but I can't copy/paste them into the serial menu.

I can type them in manually, but who has time for that!?

Your workbench

RTK f/w 3.10
Facet
Teraterm on Windows

Steps to reproduce

  • Enter serial menu.
  • choose Configure Base
  • toggle base mote to get Fixed/Static position
  • toggle coord system to get Geodetic
  • choose Set Lat/Long/Altitude
  • copy decimal degree latitude from notepad (eg. 40.123
  • paste into teraterm window
  • things get very bonky. Numbers I pasted in do not show. weirdness ensues.

Expected behavior

pasting numbers should act just like manually typing them in.

I think this is an issue with TeraTerm. You have to right click to paste (not ctrl+p).

I am able to copy/paste from notpad using this technique.

Let me know if this doesn't fix your problem.

Oh! Perhaps I've never pasted with TeraTerm before. Thanks for the response, I'll give it a try.
