Navigation initialization ID:101 Parameters required for start This command is used to initialize the GPS module for a “Warm” start, by providing real-time position （in X, Y, Z coordinates), clock offset, and time.
  • Page 19 EB-3531 Version 1.2.1 This command is used to control Serial Port B, an input serial only port used to receive RTCM differential corrections. Differential receivers may output corrections using different communication parameters. The default communication parameters for PORT B are set for 9600 Baud, 8data bits, 0 stop bits, and no parity.

Select Datum ID:106 Selection of datum to be used for coordinate transformations GPS receivers perform initial position and velocity calculations using an earth-centered earth-fixed (ECEF) coordinate system. Results may be converted to an earth model (geoid) defined by the selected datum.
