Serial Port Output

This chapter describes two standard data output features on ZY-12 receivers:
Real-time data output and NMEA output. Setup for serial output is set in Screen 4.

Real-Time Data Output

This section covers real-time data output. It tells how to access the appropriate
screens and enable the various real-time messages, and also details the format
of each message.
Real-time data, or raw data, can be output through any of the ZY-12's four serial
ports (A, B, C, D). It is typically sent to a computer or other data terminal
equipment. Specify the type and format of the outgoing data, as listed in Table
4.1. The following types and formats are available:
MBEN (measurement data)
PBEN (position data)
SNAV (ephemeris data)
SALM (proprietary almanac)
DBEN (pseudo-range and CPD measurements)
EPB (raw ephemeris)
• MBEN messages contain measurement data for each satellite tracked
during the session.
