the checksum ignored on input, there is a possibility of the 941X receiv-
ing contaminated NMEA data when it is connected to an external Ray-

When either NMEA 0183 or RAY 0183 is selected as the output format
(after pressing the EDIT menu key) and ENTER is pressed, a screen is
displayed showing all of the available NMEA 0183 sentences that will be
output by the 941X.
Some devices cannot handle all of these sentences, so you may use this
screen to customize the output by turning individual sentences ON or
OFF. In general, you might want to turn ON only those sentences used
by the particular equipment to which you are interfacing the 941X. (See
Table 4 on the next page for a listing of NMEA 0183 sentence identifier
meanings.)
To modify the 941X's NMEA 0183 sentence output format, follow the
above steps to display the 0183 sentences. Three-letter abbreviations
identify each sentence and are listed alphabetically. The sentences that
