This will change the configuration of the GPS200. 

 

Field  1:  Complex Command Group Function Code (8 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x01, 

which denotes a command PGN. 

 

2:  Commanded PGN (24 bits) – set this field’s value to 129538, which denotes the 

GNSS Control Status PGN. 

 

3:  Priority Setting (4 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x8, which indicates to leave priority 

settings unchanged. 

 

4:  Reserved (4 bits) – set this field’s value to 0xF, which is the value for a reserved field 

of this size. 

 

5:  Number of Pairs of Commanded Parameters to Follow (8 bits) – set this field’s value 

to the number of configurations to be changed. 

 

6:  Field number of first commanded parameter (8 bits).  Please refer to the table below 

for valid values for this field. 

 

7:  Value of first command parameter (size depends on the field number specified in 

field 6 of this PGN) – please refer to the description of PGN 129538 above for 
details.

PGN 126208 – NMEA Command Group Function – Maretron Proprietary Restart GPS 
Engine 

This will force the GPS200 to restart its GPS engine without performing a full reset of the unit. 

 

Field  1:  Complex Command Group Function Code (8 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x01, 

which denotes a command PGN 

 

2:  Commanded PGN (24 bits) – set this field’s value to 126720, which denotes the 

Maretron proprietary PGN 

 

3:  Priority Setting (4 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x8, which indicates to leave priority 

settings unchanged 

 

4:  Reserved (4 bits) – set this field’s value to 0xF, which is the value for a reserved field 

of this size 

 

5:  Number of Pairs of Commanded Parameters to Follow (8 bits) – set this field’s value 

to 0x4, indicating that four parameters will follow 

 

6:  Number of First Commanded Parameter (8 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x1 

 

7:  Maretron Vendor ID and Industry Code (16 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x9889 

 

8:  Number of Second Commanded Parameter (8 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x02 

 

9:  Product Code (16 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x6F0, which is the NMEA 2000

product code for the GPS200. 

 

10:  Number of Third Commanded Parameter (8 bits) – set this field’s value to 0x03
