2.2 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:
