1. Send the NMEA command $PASHS,NME,POS,x,ON.
x—port designation
ON—turns port on
2. POS messages are output every second through the designated port.
3. The response message contains information about the current position of the
receiver.

Setting Receiver Parameters

If you do not wish to use the factory default settings, you must change each setting
individually. Refer to the Command/Response chapter of the Z-family reference
manual.

Saving Parameter Settings

Ordinarily, Z-receiver parameters that have been changed will return to their default
status after a power cycle. The Z-receiver allows you to save changed settings so they
will be saved through a power cycle. Perform the following steps to save receiver
settings:
1. Send the command $PASHS,SAV,c. This command enables or disables user
parameters in memory, where c is Y (yes) or N (no). User parameters that
were changed prior to issuing the SAV command are are saved until
commands INI or RST are issued, or until SAV is set to No and a power
cycle occurs.

Data Recording

Recording data directly onto your PC can be done with DATLOGR. To record data
directly onto the PC, use the DATALOGR.EXE program. DATALOGR will collect
B and E-files in real time onto your computer. Refer to your DATALOGR User's
Guide.

Default Parameters

During the normal course of receiver operation, you will often change one or more
receiver parameters such as recording interval, port baud rate, or elevation mask. To
save new settings, you must save the current setting to memory or else all parameters
(with a few exceptions) will be reset to the default values during a power cycle. The
exceptions are session programming parameters, modem setting parameters, MET
(meteorological) and TLT (tilt) parameters, and the POW (power) parameters. Saving
