  • Page 112: Serial Control Interface

    Serial Control Interface F.1 RS-232 Interface ACD-57 accepts con guration commands from third party devices and transmits status messages via one of its RS-232 interfaces. Usually the same interface is used, which is also used for the serial input protocol for NMEA-0183 data. The data rate can be con gured. F.2 Message Structure The general message structure, including checksum generation is same as standard NMEA-0183 message structure.
