C NMEA 0183
212 Copernicus GPS Receiver
Overview
NMEA 0183 is a simple, yet comprehensive ASCII protocol which defines both the
communication interface and the data format. The NMEA 0183 protocol was
originally established to allow marine navigation equipment to share information.
Since it is a well established industry standard, NMEA 0183 has also gained
popularity for use in applications other than marine electronics. The Copernicus GPS
receiver supports the latest release of NMEA 0183, Version 3.0 (July 1, 2000). The
primary change in release 3.0 is the addition of the mode indicators in the GLL,
RMC, and VTG messages. In addition, the Copernicus GPS supports bi-directional
NMEA with the description of the Trimble proprietary NMEA sentences found in this
Appendix
For those applications requiring output only from the GPS receiver, the standard
NMEA 0183 sentences are a popular choice. Many standard application packages
support the standard NMEA output messages. With the addition of the Trimble
proprietary bi-directional NMEA, the user can now gain complete control of the
Copernicus module including configuration and program control.
The standard NMEA output only messages are: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG,
and ZDA.
