Sources and Talker IDs
The NMEA sentences can be produced using data from the IMU, Filter, GNSS 1, or GNSS 2. The source is selected on a per-sentence basis using the corresponding MIP descriptor set. The talker IDs are also configurable for each sentence except for the GSV and proprietary messages.
Configuration
The NMEA system is configured using the NMEA Message Format (0x0C,0x0C) MIP command. It accepts a list of sentence types which includes the talker IDs, source descriptor sets, and decimations for each sentence. A sentence may be specified more than once using different talker IDs or sources. The decimation is relative to the base rate of the source descriptor set.
Important: due to processing limitations, a maximum of 10 Hz applies to each produced NMEA sentence from the IMU and filter descriptor sources and
The device will transmit NMEA sentences if all of the following conditions are met:
- At least one sentence is specified in the NMEA message format.
- The device has not been set to idle with the Set to idle (0x01,0x02) command (issue the Resume (0x01,0x06) command if this is the case).
- The data required for the configured sentence(s) is available. In some cases, the required data may not be valid, such as when a GNSS fix has not been obtained. A sentence will not be transmitted unless the source data is valid.
If the NMEA sentence list is not empty on startup, transmission will begin as soon as the data becomes available (e.g. once satellite signals have been acquired).
NMEA sentences can also be polled manually using the Poll NMEA Message (0x0C,0x04) MIP command. This command behaves like the NMEA message format command except that messages will only be transmitted once, if the data is available.
