The standard NMEA output rate is 1 Hz. If INSTR J50-1, is set
to 5 Hz, the output port, TX1, will have an output rate of 5 Hz
for HDG or HDT (heading) messages. NMEA OUTPUT 2 on
the J50 has a constant output rate of 10 Hz for HDG or HDT (see
Table 5-2 on page 127. Both port 1 and 2 are still sending HDM
at 1 Hz. HDM is an obsolete sentence, but some older equipment
may still use it (see table on page 69).
If INSTR is set to VDR, rudder command, response and heading
data as defined in IEC61996, is provided at 5 Hz in the HTD and
RSA sentences.
