$JMASK
This command allows you to modify the cut-off angle for tracking of GPS satellites
$J4STRING
This command allows you to configure the GPS for output of the GPGGA, GPGSA, GPVTG,
and GPZDA messages at a specific baud rate
$JSMOOTH This command is used to change the carrier smoothing interval from long to short.
The following subsections provide detailed information relating to the use of each command.

6.4.1
$JASC
Using this command, you may turn GPS data messages on at a particular update rate or turn it off.
When turning messages on, you have the choice of various update rates available, depending on
what your requirements are.
This command has the following layout.
$JASC,msg,r[,OTHER]<CR><LF>
Where ‘msg’ is the name of the data message and ‘r’ is the message rate, as shown in the table
below. Sending the command without the optional ‘,OTHER’ data field will enact a change on the
current port.
Sending a command with a zero value for the ‘r’ field turns off a message.
