ComNav Vector G2/G2B Installation & Operation Configuration
Proprietary Output
The following NMEA-like

proprietary output sentences are available on the Vector G2.
Only the HPR sentence is enabled when the G2 is shipped from the factory; it is set to a
1 Hz update rate, on Port A. All the others are disabled, and so are indicated with an
X.
Maximum output rates are shown in the far right column, for convenience.
To make changes, see page 20.

Table 7 – Proprietary Output Sentences
Note: none of the proprietary sentences are approved by the IEC for marine
use.
For full details on the G2’s proprietary sentences, please refer to the GPS Technical
Reference.
Binary Output Sentences
The G2 can be configured to output certain data in sentences that are in a binary format
(in contrast to the human-readable ASCII format of the G2’s NMEA & Proprietary output
sentences).
None of the binary sentences are enabled in the G2’s factory-default configuration
settings.
Note: none of the binary sentences are approved by the IEC for marine use.
Caution! Binary sentences may be incompatible with some NMEA equipment,
and/or with PCs and other non-NMEA equipment. The incompatibility may
be such as to cause a PC &/or other equipment to lock up. Use them with
care!
For full details on the G2’s binary sentences, please refer to the GPS Technical
Reference.

… “NMEA-like” because these sentences follow the general syntax rules of NMEA 0183, although they are not part
of that standard, but rather have been defined by Hemisphere GPS. These sentences are available only on their own
GPS products, and equipment based on those – such as the Vector G2.
