1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 CAUTIONS 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 15H & 15L sensors are precision electronic NAVigation AIDs (NAVAID), any NAVAID can be misused or misinterpreted, and therefore become unsafe. Use these products at your own risk. To reduce the risk, carefully review and understand all aspects of these Technical Specifications before using the GPS 15H & 15L.

4 GPS 15H & 15L SOFTWARE INTERFACE The GPS 15H & 15L interface protocol design on COM 1 is based on the National Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. The COM 2 port can receive differential GPS (DGPS) correction data using the Radio Technical Commission for Maritime Services’ RTCM SC-104 standard. These standards are fully defined in NMEA 0183, Version 3.0 (copies may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org) and RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Na

4.1.2 Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI) The $PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the GPS sensor’s set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the GPS sensor causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it is echoed upon receipt. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMI sentence will contain the current default values. Current PGRMI defaults (with the exception of th

4.1.4 Additional Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC1) The $PGRMC1 sentence provides additional information used to configure the GPS sensor operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS sensor echoes this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC1 sentence will contain the current default values. Current default values can also be obtained by sending $PGRMC1E to the G

4.1.6 Tune DGPS Beacon Receiver (PSLIB) The $PSLIB sentence provides the ability to tune a Garmin GBR 21, GBR 23 or equivalent beacon receiver. $PSLIB,<1>,<2>*hh <1> Beacon tune frequency, 0.0, 283.5–325.0 kHz in 0.5 kHz steps <2> Beacon bit rate, 0, 25, 50, 100, or 200 bps If valid data is received, the GPS sensor stores it in the EEPROM and echoes the PSLIB command to the beacon receiver. If the GPS sensor is using any stored beacon frequency other than 0.0, it will tune the be

4.2 TRANSMITTED NMEA 0183 SENTENCES The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted on COM 1 by the GPS sensor. 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 sensor is referenced to the one-pulse-per-second output pulse immediately preceding the GPRMC sentence, or whichever sentence is output first in the burst (see Table 3 below). T

4.2.2 Transmitted Time The GPS sensor outputs UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) date and time of day in the transmitted sentences. Before the initial position fix, the on-board clock provides the date and time of day. After the initial position fix, the date and time of day are calculated using GPS satellite information and are synchronized with the one-pulse-per-second output. The GPS sensor uses information obtained from the GPS satellites to add or delete UTC leap seconds and correct the
