Appendix A Software Interface
The GPS-6010-X5 interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA
0183 ASC
Ⅱ interface specification, which is defined in NMEA 0183, Version 2.2 and the Radio Technical
Commission for Maritime Services (RTCM Recommended Standards For Differential Navstar GPS Service,
Version 2.1, RTCM Special Committee No.104).
A.1 NMEA Transmitted Messages
The GPS-6010-X5 supported by SiRF Technology Inc. also outputs data in NMEA-0183 format as defined
by the National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA), Standard.
The default communication parameters for NMEA output are 4800 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit, and no parity.
