190-00516-00 GPS 10 Technical Specifications Rev. BPage 11.3.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCESThe subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted by the GPS 10.3.2.1 Sentence Transmission RateSentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate.The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentencedescriptions) at a periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. TheGPS sensor will transmit the selected sentences contiguously. The length of the transmission can bedetermined by the following equation and Tables 2 and 3:total characters to be transmittedlength of transmission = ---------------------------------------------characters transmitted per secondSentence Output by Default?

Valuesin the table include the sentence start delimiter character ì$î and the termination delimiter . Thefactory set defaults will result in a once per second transmission at the NMEA 0183 specificationtransmission rate of 4800 baud.Regardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS sensor is referenced to theone-pulse-per-second output pulse immediately preceding the GPRMC sentence, or whichever sentence isoutput first in the burst (see Table 2 above).
