Comment
The code allotted to a position solution of the SBAS
differential type is either “1” or “9”, depending on the last
$PASHS,NPT command run.

$PASHS,NPT
Automatic Output
of VEC Messages
This is a reminder on how to output VEC messages at regular
intervals of time: Use the $PASHS,NME command with the
syntax below:
$PASHS,NME,VEC,<port_ID>,ON,<Rate>
