Introduction
Trimble AgGPS receivers output NMEA (National Marine Electronic
Association) messages for GPS position data transfer between
electronics equipment. Information on the NMEA-0183
communication standard for GPS receivers is available at
www.nmea.org .
This appendix describes NMEA-0183 standard messages that are
configured using TSIP command packets.
Other messages are supported only when specific Trimble options are
installed on the receiver. Messages beginning with PTNL are Trimble
proprietary messages.
