NMEA RMC Time Code O/P
Table 20 details the NMEA ZDA serial string format and fields.
About
This string is defined by the NMEA-0183 standard and transmitted at 9600 bps.
Timing
Transmission is once every second. The leading edge of the “start” bit of the “$” is exactly on
the second.
Comms
9600 bps, 8-bit ASCII, no parity
