1.How do I switch from NMEA protocol to SiRF protocol for REB-12R and get the ID 2 message?

Ans:

1.Please refer the "Set Serial Port Command" on page 16 of REB-12R operational manual (http://www.royaltek.com/eng/products/REB-12R.pdf) for switching from NMEA to SiRF protocol. For example, if want to change to SiRF binary 9600, 8, N, 1. The command is: $PSRF100,0,9600,8,1,0*0C

2.Please refer page 19 for "Calculating checksums for NMEA input".

3.After it switches to SiRF protocol, it will continuously output ID 2 message.

2.How do I switch from NMEA protocol to SiRF protocol for REB-2000 series and get the ID 2

message?

Ans:

1.Please refer the "Set Serial Port Command" on page 14 of REB-2000 series operational manual (http://www.royaltek.com/eng/products/REB-2000.pdf) for switching from NMEA to SiRF protocol. For example, if want to change to SiRF binary 9600, 8, N, 1. The command is: $PSRF100,0,9600,8,1,0*0C

2.Please refer page 17 for "Calculating checksums for NMEA input".

3.After it switches to SiRF protocol, it will continuously output ID 2 message.

3.How many parameters can be customized for REB-12R, REB-2000 series?

Ans:

RoyalTek provides tailor-made GPS engine boards for different requirements with the following optional parameters:

Baud Rate: 4800, 9600, 19200,38400 bps

SiRF protocol or NMEA output
