C.4 OUTPUT SENTENCE TYPE 2
The 500 Series Type 2 output sentence shall have the following general format:
id
- item designator (3 ASCII characters)
seq
- sequence number (1 binary byte)
wpt
- waypoint identifier (5 ASCII characters)
lat
- waypoint latitude (3 binary bytes)
lon
- waypoint longitude (4 binary bytes)
mvar
- magnetic variation at waypoint (2 binary bytes)
CR
- ASCII carriage return character (0D hex)
LF
- ASCII line feed character (0A hex)
Each waypoint in the route being navigated by the GNC 500 shall have a Type 2 sentence output by the 500
Series unit approximately once every second.
If no route is being navigated by the 500 Series unit (i.e., the active route is empty), the following Type 2
sentence will be output approximately once every second:
id
- item designator (3 ASCII characters; route sequence number is "01")
seq
- sequence number (1 binary byte; last waypoint flag is set; route sequence number is 1)
CR
- ASCII carriage return character (0D hex)
LF
- ASCII line feed character (0A hex)
The following table describes the Type 2 output sentence item designator (id), sequence number (seq),
waypoint identifier (wpt), waypoint latitude (lat), waypoint longitude (lon), and magnetic variation at
waypoint (mvar) fields.
