3.2.1 Extended NMEA commands
3.2.1.1 Command Syntax
The XT55 module accepts NMEA commands in the following formats:
$PSRF<command>,<parameter>, .. ,<parameter><* Checksum><CR> <LF>.
Command
1
Parameter
2
Checksum
3
End Sequence
4
$PSRF11
Data
*CKSUM
<CR> <LF>
1
NMEA command
2
Valid parameters
3
The checksum consists of a “*” followed by 2-digit hex value of checksum. In order to calculate the
Checksum, use your own application, which calculates the Checksum. Below a small source code is
written in Java:
private static void calcCS(String strCommand) {
int iCS = 0;
int iTemp = 0;
String strCS = "0";
for(int i=0; i<strCommand.length(); i++) {
iTemp = (int)strCommand.charAt(i);
iCS=
iCS^iTemp;
}
if(Integer.toHexString(iCS).length()==1)
{
strCS+=Integer.toHexString(iCS);
}
else
{
strCS = Integer.toHexString(iCS);
}
System.out.println("CheckSum:
"+strCS);
}
Therefore, the string over which the checksum has to be calculated is (see example below):
field = PSRF112,21 //without the character “$”
4
<
CR> <LF>Each message is terminated using Carriage Return (CR) Line Feed (LF) which is \r\n
which is hex 0D 0A. Because \r\n are not printable ASCII characters, they are omitted from the
example strings, but must be sent to terminate the message and cause the receiver to process that
input message.
Example:
$PSRF112,21*0A
Command
Parameter
Checksum
End Sequence
$PSRF112,

*0A
<CR> <LF>
