6.4 Digital Data, RS-232
RS-232 data can be received and transmitted from an internal GPS Pxpress card in a TTL voltage level for use as a GPS
source. This data can also be received from a simulator in a TIA/EIA RS-232 format, which will be emulating the GPS
data format of the GPS Pxpress card. The characteristics of the GPS Pxpress data is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, 8 bit data, odd
parity.
