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, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the 

communication parameters (baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally, this command would be 

used to switch the module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode where a more extensive command 

message set is available. For example, to change navigation parameters. When a valid message 

is  received,  the  parameters  will  be  stored  in  battery  backed  SRAM  and  then  the  receiver  will 

restart using the saved parameters. 

 

Format: 

$PSRF100,<protocol>,<baud>,<DataBits>,<StopBits>,<Parity>*CKSUM<CR><LF> 

 

<protocol>  0=SiRF Binary, 1=NMEA, 4=USER1 

<baud>   

1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400 

<DataBits>     8,7. Note that SiRF protocol is only valid f8 Data bits 

<StopBits>  0,1 

<Parity>  

0=None, 1=Odd, 2=Even 

Example 1: Switch to SiRF Binary protocol at 9600,8,N,1 

$PSRF100,0,9600,8,1,0*0C<CR><LF> 

Example 2: Switch to User1 protocol at 38400,8,N,1 

$PSRF100,4,38400,8,1,0*38<CR><LF> 

 

**Checksum  Field:  The  absolute  value  calculated  by  exclusive-OR  the  8  data  bits  of  each 

character in the Sentence, between, but excluding “$” and “*”. The hexadecimal value of the most 

significant and least significant 4 bits of the result are convertted to two ASCII characters (0-9, A-F) 

for transmission. The most significant character is transmitted first. 

 

**<CR><LF>  

        : Hex 0D 0A 

 

 

B). Navigation lnitialization ID

101 Parameters required for start   

This command is used to initialize the module for a warm start, by providing current position 

in X, 

Y,  Z  coordinates

,clock  offset,  and  time.  This  enables  the  receiver  to  search  for  the  correct 

satellite signals at the correct signal parameters. Correct initialization parameters will enable the 

receiver to acquire signals more quickly, and thus, produce a faster navigational solution. 

When a valid Navigation Initialization command is received, the receiver will restart using the input 

parameters as a basis for satellite selection and acquisition.
