Users manual Appendix A Revision #: Date: 07-14-15 Standard NMEA Output Sentences The receiver supports eight standard NMEA output sentences (GGA, GLL, GNS, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG and ZDA) per NMEA standard 0183 Version 4.10 (June, 2012). By default, the RMC, GNS, GSA, ZDA, GSV and TPS sentences will be output every second. The sentences can be independently enabled and disabled using the $PERDCFG,NMEAOUT and/or $PERDAPI,CROUT command described later in this document, as well as use differing transmission rates.
