3.6 Jupiter NMEA data messages
This section describes the NMEA data messages
of the Jupiter GPS receiver. All of the output and
input NMEA messages are listed in Table 3-44
together with their corresponding message IDs.
Power-up default messages are also identified.
NMEA mode is selected according to the logic
described in the appropriate ‘Jupiter’ reciever
data sheet. NMEA messages are transmitted
and received across the host port serial I/O
interface (RS-232) with the following default
communications parameters:4800 bps, no parity,8
data bits, 1 stop bit This interface conforms with
the NMEA-0183, version 2.01, specification.
3.6.1 NMEA output message descriptions
3.6.1.1 Navman proprietary Built-In Test (BIT)
results
This proprietary message provides detailed test
results when a BIT is commanded. Non-zero
device failure status indicates failure. The contents
of the ‘BIT’ message are described in Table 3-45.
Sample message:
$PRWIBIT,000l,0000,0000,0000,0000,0000,0,
0,15,640,0l.02*75

Note 1: $ = NMEA message prefix. P = proprietary message indicator, RWI = Navman Systems Inc. mnemonic,
BIT = BIT results message ID.
Note 2: A value of zero indicates a test has passed. A non-zero value indicates a device failure. Missing devices are
reported as failures. Therefore, the OEM’s BIT pass/fail should ignore words for components that are not in the system
under test. (Note: The dual port RAM failure test is currently not implemented, so field 4 will report a value of zero.
