CPage 154.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCESThe subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted on COM1 by the GPS sensor.4.2.1 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 sentence descriptions) at aperiodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. The GPS sensor will transmitthe selected sentences contiguously. The length of the transmission can be determined by the following equation andTables 2 and 3:total characters to be transmittedlength of transmission = ---------------------------------------------characters transmitted per secondSentence Output by Default?

Values in thetable include the sentence start delimiter character “$” and the termination delimiter . The factory setdefaults will result in a once-per-second transmission at the NMEA 0183 specification transmission rate of 4800baud.Table 3: Characters per Second for Available Baud RatesRegardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS sensor is referenced to the one-pulse-per-second output pulse immediately preceding the GPRMC sentence, or whichever sentence is output first in theburst (see Table 2 above).
