Configuring input/output communication
The port input and output settings appear in the first screen. In
Figure 4.2, the port is set to accept TSIP inputs at a baud rate of
115,000 with a parity of 8-Odd-1. The outputs are TSIP, also at a baud
rate of 115,000.
Figure 4.2 Communication settings
Configure the Port Input/Output communication settings for
communicating with the AgGPS Autopilot, other external hardware
devices, and software programs. Table 4.1 describes the input settings.

Setting Description
None Inputs nothing to the receiver.
TEXTB The receiver can accept ASCII data from an external device,
such as a chlorophyll meter, on Port A, merge it with NMEA GPS
data, and output the combined data on Port B. The incoming data
must be limited to 66 ASCII characters and terminated by a
carriage return and line feed (hex characters 0x0D 0x0A). The
NMEA string outputs as $PTNLAG001,<up to 66 ASCII
characters>*<2 digit checksum><CR><LF>. For the receiver to
output the combined NMEA string, NMEA must be selected as
the output protocol on Port B.
