Chapter 4 SCPI Commands GPS Subsystem information that can be used by standard navigation applications via the PNT-62xx serial interface. Not all standard NMEA messages such as GSA and GSV will be supported in STL receiver mode (GPS:TYPE:MODE STL). The instrument will send out the enabled NMEA information on the serial transmit pins automatically every N seconds.
Chapter 4 SCPI Commands GPS Subsystem The time and date are properly output with correct UTC synchronization to the 1PPS signal immediately prior to the data being sent. Once set, the following command settings will be stored in NV memory, and generate selected NMEA sentence output information even after power to the unit has been cycled.
Chapter 4 SCPI Commands GPS Subsystem This command replaces the regular NMEA GGA validity flag with a decimal number indicating the lock-state of the unit. See “SERVo:TRACe <int> [0,255]” on page 94 a detailed description of the lock state variable. The command allows capture of the position and other information available in the GGA command, as well as tracking the lock state and health of the unit’s OCXO performance simultaneously.
Chapter 4 SCPI Commands GPS Subsystem The RMC output message header includes the talker ID for the currently enabled GNSS system(s) or STL receiver mode as described in “NMEA Support” on page GPS:GPGSA <int> [0,255] This command instructs the PNT-62xx to send the NMEA standard GSA message every N seconds, with N in the interval [0,255].
