NMEA Message Formats
Overview
National Marine Electronics Association is a standard for interfacing marine
electronic devices. This chapter describes all NMEA-0183 messages which can
be output by the instrument.
NMEA can be configured via the web interface. For further informa-
☞
tion refer to the Web Interface User Guide.
A Talker ID appears at the beginning of the header of each NMEA message.
The Talker ID can be user defined or standard (based on the NMEA 4.0).
For information on how to manually define the Talker ID, refer to the
☞
Web Interface User Guide.
When enabling CQ Control, the coordinate quality is being checked. If the
coordinate quality of the position and/or the height component exceeds the
defined limit, no NMEA messages are output.
