Transmitted NMEA 0183 Sentences

The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted on COM 1 by the GPS sensor.
4.2.1

Sentence Transmission Rate

Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate.
The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentence
descriptions) at a periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. The
GPS sensor will transmit the selected sentences contiguously. The length of the transmission can be
determined by the following equation and Tables 2 and 3:
length of transmission
Sentence
GPRMC
GPGGA
GPGSA
GPGSV
PGRME
GPGLL
GPVTG
PGRMV
PGRMF
PGRMB
PGRMM
PGRMT
* Except GPS 16A

Table 2: NMEA 0183 Output Sentence Order and Size

Table 3: Characters per Second for Available Baud Rates

** GPS 16A Only
The maximum number of fields allowed in a single sentence is 82 characters including delimiters. Values
in the table include the sentence start delimiter character "$" and the termination delimiter <CR><LF>. The
factory set defaults will result in a once-per-second transmission at 4800 baud, which is the NMEA 0183
specification transmission rate.

4.2.1.1 GPS 16LVS, 16HVS, and GPS 17HVS (not 17N)

Regardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS sensor is referenced to the
one-pulse-per-second output pulse immediately preceding the GPRMC sentence, or whichever sentence is
output first in the burst (see Table 2 above).

4.2.1.2 GPS 16A

Sentences are transmitted at a fixed 200-millisecond interval.
