If the GPS sensor is using any stored beacon frequency other than 0.0, it will tune the beacon receiver once immediately after power up or external reset. 4.2 Transmitted NMEA 0183 Sentences The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted on COM 1 by the GPS sensor. 4.2.1 Sentence Transmission Rate Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate. The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentence descriptions) at a periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. The GPS sensor will transmit the selected sentences contiguously.

4.1.6
Tune DGPS Beacon Receiver (PSLIB)
The $PSLIB sentence provides the ability to tune a Garmin GBR 21, GBR 23 or equivalent beacon receiver.
$PSLIB,<1>,<2>*hh<CR><LF>
<1>
Beacon tune frequency, 0.0, 283.5–325.0 kHz in 0.5 kHz steps
<2>
Beacon bit rate, 0, 25, 50, 100, or 200 bps
If valid data is received, the GPS sensor will store it in the EEPROM and echo the PSLIB command to the beacon
receiver. If the GPS sensor is using any stored beacon frequency other than 0.0, it will tune the beacon receiver once
immediately after power up or external reset.
4.2
Transmitted NMEA 0183 Sentences
The subsequent paragraphs define the sentences that can be transmitted on COM 1 by the GPS sensor.
4.2.1
Sentence Transmission Rate
Sentences are transmitted with respect to the user selected baud rate.
The GPS sensor will transmit each sentence (except where noted in particular transmitted sentence descriptions) at a
periodic rate based on the user selected baud rate and user selected output sentences. The GPS sensor will transmit
the selected sentences contiguously. The length of the transmission can be determined by the following equation and

Table 3: Characters per Second for Available Baud Rates
The maximum number of fields allowed in a single sentence is 82 characters including delimiters. Values in the
table include the sentence start delimiter character “$” and the termination delimiter <CR><LF>. The factory set
defaults will result in a once-per-second transmission at the NMEA 0183 specification transmission rate of 4800
baud.
Regardless of the selected baud rate, the information transmitted by the GPS sensor is referenced to the one-pulse-
per-second output pulse immediately preceding the GPRMC sentence, or whichever sentence is output first in the
burst (see Table 2 above).
