NMEA Commands
GDC:
Grid Coordinates
$PASHS,NME,GDC,c1,s,[f]
This command enables or disables the $PASHR,GDC message. c1 is the port
designator (A or B) for message output. s3 is ON or OFF. f is the optional message
output rate ranging from 0.05 to 999 seconds depending on the measurement
update rate option installed.
If the command is set without a period, the DG16 uses the period set by the
$PASHS,NME,PER command If the $PASHS,NME,PER command is issued after
this message period has been set, the period resets to the PER setting.
$PASHQ,GDC,[c1]
This command queries the current position according to the user-defined grid
coordinate system selected through the UDG command, where c1 is the optional
port designator for the output of the response. If a port is not specified, the receiver
sends the response to the current port. The response message does not output
unless the following three conditions are met:
1. The receiver is computing positions.
2. A grid coordinate system has been selected through the UDG command.
3. The conversion from geodetic coordinates to the selected grid coordinate
system has been enabled through the GRD command.
$PASHR.GDC
The response is in the format:
$PASHR,GDC,m1,s2,f3,f4,d5,d6,f7,f8,M,f9,M,d10,s11,s12*cc
