CDSA/B Communication and Differential Decode Status
The GPSCard maintains a running count of a variety of status indicators of the data link. This log outputs a report
of those indicators.
Parity and framing errors will occur if poor transmission lines are encountered or if there is an incompatibility in
the data protocol. If errors occur, you may need to confirm the bit rate, number of data bits, number of stop bits and
parity of both the transmit and receiving ends. Overrun errors will occur if more characters are sent to the UART
than can be removed by the on-board microprocessor.

4xon1 Flag to indicate that the com1 is using XON/XOFF handshaking protocol and port has received
an xoff and will wait for an xon before sending any more data. 0

asserted. The port will wait for the line to de-assert before sending any more data. 0
