data contained in the string will be automatically placed in the LTEXT buffer. If the GPSTEXT content is one of
those below and does not match with the initial part of the data, it restructures the sentence and automatically
updates the LTEXT content based on previously received GPS data. In other words, the feature offers the
conversion of the GPS data.

5-6-8 NTSGRP
command
Abbrev. NTSGRP default: none parameter: alphanumeric characters up to 3
Example: NTSGRP ABC
This is to set the “group-code” in order to make $PNTS sentence. 0-9, A-Z can be used. The PC software can
select and plot only the beacon with the matching code.
5-6-9 NTSMRK
command
Abbrev. NTSMRK default: 0 parameter: 0-14
Example: NTSMRK 13
This is to set the marking code for the $PNTS sentence.
5-6-10 NTSMSG command
Abbrev. NTSMSG default: none parameter: small character up to 20 letters.
Example: NTSMSG this is a test
This is to set the message used in $PNTS sentence.
5-6-11 GPSSEND command
Abbrev. GPSS default: none parameter: up to approx. 240 characters
Example: GPSSEND@SKB (SKB is used to set IPS-5000’s measurement zone as Tokyo. See your GPS manual
for details).
This command transmits the entered characters to the GPS port. This command is used to send initializing
command(s) to the GPS. The content cannot be stored in memory but some GPS units will have a memory feature
(This is mainly to conserve space in the RAM which is very limited in this unit). The main-loop process is stopped
while the data is transmitted to the GPS. Too long or too frequent transmission of the data may cause problems
with the function of the TNC..
