Using the HI-305III in GPS applications, the user won't need install any driver except for the following circumstances: 1. USB driver: When use HI-305III in G-mouse mode with USB...
6. GPS Technical Data 6.1 ONE-PULSE-PER-SECOND (1PPS) OUTPUT The one-pulse-per-second output is provided for applications requiring precise timing measurements. The output pulse is 1usec in duration. Rising edge of the output pulse is accurate to +/-1usec with respect to the start of each GPS second. Accuracy of the one- pulse-per-second output is maintained only when the GPS receiver has valid position fix.
The default receiver protocol is 4800bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and none parity. 6.3 NMEA OUTPUT MESSAGE SPECIFICATION The HI-305III supports NMEA-0183 output format as defined by the National Marine Electronics Association (http://www.nmea.org). The currently supported NMEA messages for GPS applications are:...
6.4 NMEA Messages The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association's NMEA 0183 ASCII interface specification. This standard is fully define in "NMEA 0183, Version 3.01" The standard may be obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org GGA - GPS FIX DATA Time, position and position-fix related data (number of satellites in use, HDOP, etc.).
