<5> = Transmission interval (tenths of a second)

For example, a unit programmed with only the factory default settings would provide the

following as a reply to the $PAMTC,EN,Q command:

$PAMTR,EN,17,1,GGA,1,10*17

$PAMTR,EN,17,2,GLL,0,10*13

$PAMTR,EN,17,3,GSA,0,10*00

$PAMTR,EN,17,4,GSV,0,10*10

$PAMTR,EN,17,5,HDG,0,5*2C

$PAMTR,EN,17,6,MDA,1,10*19

$PAMTR,EN,17,7,MWD,1,10*0E

$PAMTR,EN,17,8,MWVR,1,5*75

$PAMTR,EN,17,9,MWVT,1,10*46

$PAMTR,EN,17,10,RMC,0,10*3B

$PAMTR,EN,17,11,VTG,1,10*22

$PAMTR,EN,17,12,VWR,0,10*36

$PAMTR,EN,17,13,VWT,1,10*30

$PAMTR,EN,17,14,XDR,0,10*2D

$PAMTR,EN,17,15,XDRA,0,10*6D

$PAMTR,EN,17,16,XDRB,0,5*59

$PAMTR,EN,17,17,ZDA,1,10*3E

Keep in mind when enabling sentences that the overall bandwidth of the interface should

not be exceeded. At 4800 baud, only 480 characters can be transmitted in a one second

period of time. If every one of the above sentences were enabled for transmission, their

total number of characters could exceed 800. It is possible to use the $PAMTC,EN

command to overspecify the amount of data transmitted, beyond the bandwidth capacity

of the NMEA output channel. See section 2.1. for further information regarding bus

bandwidth.

Examples

Example 1:

To disable all sentences for transmission, except transmit compass heading 5

times per second, and save the settings in EEPROM, send the following sequence

of commands to the unit:

$PAMTC,EN,ALL,0

$PAMTC,EN,HDG,1,2

$PAMTC,EN,S

Example 2:

To reload the factory defaults for the $PAMTC,EN settings into EEPROM

without affecting other EEPROM settings (such as attitude offsets set with the
