2.2 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 would be used to switch the module back to SiRF Binary

protocol mode where a more extensive command message set is available. For

example,to change navigation parameters. When a valid message is received,the

parameters will be stored in battery backed SRAM and then the receiver will restart

using the saved parameters.

Format:

$PSRF100,<protocol>,<baud>,<DataBits>,<StopBits>,<Parity>*CKSUM

<protocol> 0=SiRF Binary, 1=NMEA, 4=USER1

<baud> 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400

<DataBits> 8,7. Note that SiRF protocol is only valid f8

Data bits

<StopBits> 0,1

<Parity> 0=None, 1=Odd, 2=Even

Example 1: Switch to SiRF Binary protocol at 9600,8,N,1

$PSRF100,0,9600,8,1,0*0C<CR><LF>

Example 2: Switch to User1 protocol at 38400,8,N,1

$PSRF100,4,38400,8,1,0*38<CR><LF>

**Checksum Field: The absolute value calculated by exclusive-OR the

8 data bits of each character in the Sentence,between, but

excluding “$” and “*”. The hexadecimal value of the most

significant and least significant 4 bits of the result are convertted

to two ASCII characters (0-9,A-F) for transmission. The most

significant character is transmitted first.
