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 or NMEA) and/or the communication parameters (baud rate, data bits, stop bits, and parity). Generally, this command is used to switch the module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode where a more extensive command message set is available. When a valid message is received, the parameters are stored in battery-backed SRAM and the receiver will resumes using the saved parameters.
Table B-1 contains the input values for the following example: Switch to SiRF binary protocol at 9600,8,N,1

B). Navigation lnitialization ID101 Parameters required for start
This command is used to cause a restart of the receiver, and to specify the type of restart. Optionally, it may also initialize position (in X, Y, Z ECEF coordinates), clock drift, GPS Time Of Week and GPS Week Number. This enables the receiver to search for the correct satellite signals at the correct signal parameters. Correct initialization parameters enable the receiver to quickly acquire signals. For software that does not support initializing data (GSW3, GSWLT3, SiRFXTrac), attempting to include initializing data may cause unpredictable results. Do not set the initialize-data bit in the ResetCfg word.
Table B-2 contains the input values for the following example: Start using known position and time.

C). Set DGPS Port ID: 102 Set PORT B parameters for DGPS input
This command is used to control the serial port used to receive RTCM differential corrections. Differential receivers may output corrections using different communication parameters. If a DGPS receiver is used that has different communication parameters, use this command to allow the receiver to correctly decode the data. When a valid message is received, the parameters are stored in battery-backed SRAM and the receiver restarts using the saved parameters.

D). Query/Rate Control ID: 103 Query standard NMEA message and/or set output rate
This command is used to control the output of standard NMEA messages GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, and VTG. It also controls the ZDA message in software that supports it. Using this command message, standard NMEA messages may be polled once, or setup for periodic output. Checksums may also be enabled or disabled depending on the needs of the receiving program. NMEA message settings are saved in battery-backed memory for each entry when the message is accepted.

E). LLA Navigation lnitialization ID: 104 Parameters required to start using Lat/Lon/Alt
This command is used to cause a restart of the receiver, and to specify the type of restart. Optionally, it may also initialize position (in lattitude, longitude, and altitude), clock drift, GPS Time Of Week and GPS Week Number. This enables the receiver to search for the correct satellite signals at the correct signal parameters. Correct initialization parameters enable the receiver to quickly acquire signals. For software that does not support initializing data (GSW3, GSWLT3, SiRFXTrac), attempting to include initializing data may cause unpredictable results.

Avaliable datums, if different from the list below, should be documented in the system or software documentation.
Table B-11 contains the input values for the following examples:
1. Datum select TOKYO_MEAN
$PSRF106,178*32

PCB Layout Recommendations
Do not routing the other signal or power trace under the engine board.
RF:
This pin receives signal of GPS analog via external active antenna .It has to be a controlled impedance trace at 50ohm. Do not place the RF traces close to the other signal path and not routing it on the top layer. Keep the RF traces as short as possible.
Antenna:
Keep the active antenna on the top of your system and confirm the antenna radiation pattern axial ratio、power gain、noise figure、VSWR are correct when you Setup the antenna in your case.
