3.4.3 NMEA 0183 Data Output
The National Marine Electronics Association (NMEA) protocol is an industry standard
data protocol which was developed for the marine industry. Trimble has chosen to adhere
stringently to the NMEA 0183 data specification as published by the NMEA. Although
the Trimble Lassen-SK8 supports seven NMEA sentences that contain GPS information,
the standard Lassen-SK8 only outputs the GGA and VTG data strings.
*
Note – Contact your Trimble sales representative if you need access to all or a subset of
the other five NMEA sentences.
