ET-332 Version 1.3.1 ■ NMEA Input Command A.) Set Serial Port ID:100 Set PORTA parameters and protocol This command message is used to set the protocol (SiRF Binary, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the communication parameters (baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally, this command is utilize to switch the GPS module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode, where an extensive message commands are readily available.
