The write and read messages are shown in Figure 20. A write message
triggers an acknowledgement from the module. A read message triggers a
response message containing the requested information.
The module responds to commands with response messages. The
acknowledge message is formatted as shown in Figure 21.
Input Messages
The following outlines the serial commands input into the module for
configuration. There are 3 types of input messages: commands, writes and
reads. The module outputs a response for each input message.
The commands are used to change the operating state of the module.
The writes are used to change the module’s configuration and the reads
are used to read out the current configuration. Messages are formatted as
shown in Figure 18. All fields in each message are separated by a comma.
Figure 19 shows the input commands.
Serial Data Structure
Name Example Description
Start Sequence $PMTK
Message ID <MID>
Message Identifier consisting of three numeric
characters.
Payload DATA Message specific data.
Checksum CKSUM
CKSUM is a two-hex character checksum as
defined in the NMEA specification, NMEA-0183
Standard for Interfacing Marine Electronic Devices.
Checksums are required on all input messages.
End Sequence <CR> <LF>
Each message must be terminated using Carriage
Return (CR) Line Feed (LF) (\r\n, 0x0D0A) to cause
the receiver to process the input message. They
are not printable ASCII characters, so are omitted
from the examples.
