[time-nuts] TU-60 Instruction to set NMEA output
Hi, I am new to timenuts. Is anyone able to give me the binary command sentence/code to send to my Jupiter TU-60 to change it's output from Binary to NMEA please? I assume it has to be a binary command starting with @@ but I am unable to find a suitable command using Tac32 control software.

Re: [time-nuts] TU-60 Instruction to set NMEA output
Hi Merv, I found the Navman Jupiter designers guide which has the message formats. What you need is message 1331. Tac32 supports this receiver, so there should be a possibility at setup to specify NMEA protocol. Else stuff it a 1331 . The guide is at http://gpsd.berlios.de/vendor-docs/jupiter/MN002000A_JupiterReceiver_DesignerGuide_print.pdf It tells you how messages are constructed. You should be able to work out the @@ format. Good hunting. Mike Le 11/05/2012 16:13, Merv Thomas a écrit : Hi, I am new to timenuts.

I assume it has to be a binary command starting with @@ but I am unable to find a suitable command using Tac32 control software. Merv VK6BMT I used to have an older Jupiter receiver. Does your receiver have the same 2x10 pin interface as shown in table 4 of the linked datasheet? http://gpskit.nl/documents/rockwell/jupiter-gps-board.pdf On that receiver, you could chose power up mode (NMEA or Jupiter binary) with a hardware jumper. Se below schematic (SW2) how the adapter board I used implemented the NMEA/binary choise. http://gpskit.nl/images/thekit-schematics-large.gif -- Björn ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
Re: [time-nuts] TU-60 Instruction to set NMEA output
Hi All, Thanks for the 2 prompt replies. Tac32 does not have any facility to enter 1331 as an instruction. It has numerous @@ commands but the TU 60 datasheets only list a small fraction of these commands and none pertain to setting the protocol!! It is like it is a carefully guarded secret! I downloaded Labmon which is a Navman proprietary software for the TU's but there does not seem to be a Win XP compatible version even though the one website stated it was for Win 2000/XP. I installed it but it refuses to locate Comm 1 which is the port I have connected to its RS232 data output. It would handle the 1331 instruction if it would communicate with the port. It is a real problem when doing things with fairly old GPS receivers and projects( eg I've just built the Shera GPS unit)which works well but there is no way I can get access to the .asm or hex files to play around with the software in the PIC as the originator is virtually inaccessible - does not answer emails. Sorry for the mixed subjects in this.

Re: [time-nuts] TU-60 Instruction to set NMEA output
Hi Bj?m and Mike, I have some older TU's like the 30 and these are easy to set for binary or NMEA but the TU 60 requires a specific command 1331 and I am not savvy enough to convert this into a meaningful @@ command if there is such a valid command. One would have thought the manufacturer would have provided such an @@ command - he is very quick to state how you get it back into binary from NMEA!! I tried just putting 1331 into the command and it responds that it is an unknown command Merv VK6BMT ___ time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts@febo.com To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
