188 G12 OEM Board & Sensor Reference Manual
Table 4.114 describes the typical VTG response message.
ZDA: Time and Date
$PASHS,NME,ZDA,x,c,[f]
Enable/disable the time and date message or port x, where x is the output port, and
c is ON or OFF, and f is the optional message output rate ranging from 0.05 to 999
seconds depending on the measurement update rate option installed.
The G12 does not output this message unless it computes a position.
If the command is set without a period, the G12 uses the period set by the
$PASHS,NME,PER command If the $PASHS,NME,PER command is issued after
this message period has been set, the period resets to the PER setting.
Example
Enter the following command to disable ZDA message on port A.
$PASHS,NME,ZDA,A,OFF
$PASHQ,ZDA,[c1]
This command allows you to query for the ZDA message, where c1 is the optional
port designator for the output of the response. If a port is not specified, the receiver
sends the response to the current port.
