4.1.2Sensor Initialization Information (PGRMI)

The $PGRMI sentence provides information used to initialize the sensor board set position and time used for satellite acquisition. Receipt of this sentence by the board set causes the software to restart the satellite acquisition process. If there are no errors in the sentence, it will be echoed upon receipt. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMI sentence will contain the current default values. Current PGRMI defaults can also be obtained by sending $PGRMIE to the board.

$PGRMI,<1>,<2>,<3>,<4>,<5>,<6>,<7>*hh<CR><LF>

<1>

Latitude, ddmm.mmm format (leading zeros must be transmitted)

4.1.3Sensor Configuration Information (PGRMC)

The $PGRMC sentence provides information used to configure the sensor board operation. Configuration parameters are stored in non-volatile memory and retained between power cycles. The GPS 35LP will echo this sentence upon its receipt if no errors are detected. If an error is detected, the echoed PGRMC sentence will contain the current default values. Current default values can also be obtained by sending $PGRMCE to the board.
