4.1 How to configure SBF and NMEA output
The AsteRx SB ProDirect can output position and GNSS data in both standard NMEA format
and Septentrio
’
s proprietary compact binary format SBF. The following sections detail how
to con
fi
gure connections to other devices in order to send data.
SBF and NMEA can also be logged on the internal 16 GB disk of the AsteRx SB ProDirect.
Section 4.2.1 and 4.3 detail how to log data on the receiver and how to download data logged
on the receiver.
4.1.1 Output over a serial COM connection
The AsteRx SB ProDirect can be connected via a serial COM cable to an RS-232 compatible
secondary device.
Step 1: Configure the serial COM port
The COM port of the AsteRx SB ProDirect should be con
fi
gured with the same baud rate
and
fl
ow control setting of the coupled device. These settings can be con
fi
gured via the
Communication/Serial Port
tab as shown in Figure 4-1.
I
n this example, COM3 is set with a
speed of 19200 baud.
