Configure the Port Input/Output communication settings for communicating with the AgGPS Autopilot, other external hardware devices, and software programs. Table4.1 describes the input settings.The default port settings are:

Table 4.1 Port input settings

Setting Description

None Inputs nothing to the receiver.

TEXTB The receiver can accept ASCII data from an external device, such

as a chlorophyll meter, on Port A, merge it with NMEA GPS data,

and output the combined data on Port B. The incoming data

must be limited to 66 ASCII characters and terminated by a

carriage return and line feed (hex characters 0x0D 0x0A). The

NMEA string outputs as $PTNLAG001,<up to 66 ASCII

characters>*<2 digit checksum><CR><LF>. For the receiver to

output the combined NMEA string, NMEA must be selected as

the output protocol on Port B.

TEXTA See the description for the TEXTB setting (above). TEXTA input

outputs text on Port A. The default port settings are 8-N-1 TSIP

38.4K. These may vary by product.

RTCM The receiver can accept RTCM data from an external DGPS device,

such as an external radio.

TSIP The receiver can accept or output TSIP data packets from the port

when using the optional AgRemote program or using the AgGPS

170 Field Computer.

RtkLnk The receiver can accept real-time corrections (CMR data) from an

external device such as a Trimble radio.
