tation. xxx loads the port by tells you how much throughput
capacity is required to send the selected data record out the
port (where xxx is the NMEA data sentence identifier). If you
change the Output Rate, xxx loads the port by: value will
adjust to reflect the change after you move the cursor to the
next line. This is a very helpful tool to ensure that you don't
lose data due to lack of throughput on the data port.
Total load is - Due to the throughput limitation of the NMEA 0183
standard, you can not turn on all of the output records avail-
able from the receiver at a once per second output rate at one
time. The "Total load" is counter will help you maximize the
port usage on the receiver. It monitors the total throughput
capability of all the output records that are currently turned
on. If you go over 100% and you require all of the data records
that are currently turned on, try reducing the Output Rate for
one or more of the less critical data records. Continue this
process until the Total load is 100.0% or less.
Rnn - Active Route Data Record:
The NMEA-0183 standard allows you to output the active
route with an ID sentence that begins either as GPR00 or GPR01.
Some of the equipment you might interface may require this
sentence to outputs R00 and other equipment may require this
data record as R01. The receiver allows you to configure the
ID either way (R00 is the default).
WPL - Waypoint Location Data Record:
The receiver outputs all of the waypoints in the active route. If
you want to output the complete Waypoint Bank, simply high-
