4.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES

The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted by the GPS 17x HVS.
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
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>. For the GPS 17x
HVS, the factory set defaults result in a once per second transmission at the NMEA 0183 specification transmission
rate of 4800 baud.
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).
