SXblue Series User Manual 70
allows you to turn messages on and off as you require as well as setting their
output rates.
Our free utility SXblue Config are available to configure the SXblue receiver, send
commands, query the receiver, view the receiver’s output stream, and activate
options under subscription. These commands are described in the Technical
Reference Manual. The following items are examples of user-configurable
features:
•
Selecting one of the differential correction type (SBAS, DGPS, RTK, etc)
•
Setting the baud rate of the serial RS-232 port or the USB port (Bluetooth
baud rate is fixed)
•
Choosing which NMEA data messages to output on each of the ports and the
update rate of each message
•
Setting the maximum differential age cut-off
•
Setting the satellite elevation angle cut-off mask
Note – When turning messages ON at a specific baud rate, make sure the
number of messages sent do not “saturate” or overflow the communication
port. The Bluetooth port’s factory default is 115 200 baud and can be set
higher (up to 230 400 baud) upon request.
