Proprietary Output

A number of NMEA-like

proprietary output sentences are available on the Vector G2.

Only the HPR sentence is enabled when the G2 is shipped from the factory; it is set to a

1 Hz update rate, on Port A. All the others are disabled, and so are indicated below with

Maximum output rates are shown in the far right column, for convenience.

To make changes, see pages 51 and 52 (and 53, for a G2B).

Table 7 – Default Proprietary Output Sentences Configuration

Note: none of the proprietary sentences are approved by the IEC for

marine use.

For full details on the G2’s proprietary sentences, please refer to the GPS Technical

Reference.

Binary Output Sentences

The G2 can b

e configured to output certain data in sentences that are in a binary format

(in contrast to the human-readable ASCII format of the G2’s NMEA & Proprietary output

sentences).

None of the binary sentences are enabled in the G2’s factory-default configuration

settings.

To make changes, see pages 51 and 53.

Not

: none of the binary sentences are approved by the IEC for marine

use.

Caution! Binary sentences may be incompatible with some NMEA

equipment, and/or with PCs and other non-NMEA equipment. The

incompatibility may be such as to cause a PC &/or other equipment to

lock up. Use them with care!

For full details on the G2’s binary sentences, please refer to the GPS Technical

Reference.

… “NMEA-like” because these sentences follow the general syntax rules of NMEA 0183, although they are not part

of that standard, but rather have been defined by Hemisphere GPS. These sentences are available only on their own

GPS products, and equipment based on those – such as the Vector G2.
