iii CAUTION The GPS system is operated by the government of the United States which is solely responsible for its accuracy and maintenance. Although the GPS 35LP is a precision electronic NAVigation AID (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use the GPS 35LP at your own risk. To reduce the risk, carefull[...]

14 Software Interface The GPS 35LP interface protocol design is based on the National Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification, which is fully defined in “NMEA 0183, Version 2.0” (copies may be obtained from NMEA, P.O. Box 50040, Mobile, AL, 36605, USA) and the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services?[...]

15 4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Informati on (PGRMI) The $PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the sensor board set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the board set causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it will be echoed u[...]

16 All configuration changes take effect after receipt of a valid value except baud rate and PPS mode. Baud rate and PPS mode changes take effect on the next power cycle or an external reset event. 4.1.4 Additional Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC1) The $PGRMC1 sentence provides additional information used to configure the sensor board opera[...]

17 4) $PGRMO ,GPALM,1 will cause the sensor board to transmit all stored almanac information. All other NMEA sentence transmission will be temporarily suspended. 4.1.6 Tune DGPS Beacon Receiver (PSLIB) The $PSLIB sentence provides the ability to tune a GARMIN GBR-21 or equivalent beacon receiver. $PSLIB ,<1>,<2>*hh<CR><LF> &[...]

18 4.2 NMEA Transmitted Sentences The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences which can be transmitted on TXD1 by the GPS 35LP receivers. 4.2.1 Sentence Transmission Rate Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate. Regardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS 35LP is referenced to the on[...]

19 4.2.2 Transmitted Time The GPS 35LP receivers output UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) date and time of day in the transmitted sentences. Prior to the initial position fix, the date and time of day are provided by the on- board clock. After the initial position fix, the date and time of day are calculated using GPS satellite information and are s[...]
