Objective Specification - Confidential
The default communication configuration of the UART1 port is set at a baud rate of 38400
baud with NMEA messages being output. The module will respond to incoming UBX binary
commands. To see all the default configuration of ZED-F9P, please see the u-blox ZED-F9P
Interface Description [2].
If the navigation rate of the rover is increased, the UART baud rate should be increased to
account for the additional data that is going to be transferred. A baud rate of 460800 baud is
recommended for high update rates with the minimum required messages enabled.
The default baud rate of 38400 baud should be increased to allow for increased capacity over
the UART interface if UBX messages, RAW data or debug messages are enabled, again a baud
rate of 230400 baud to 460800 baud is recommended in this case.
1.9.2 Message output configuration
It  is  possible  to  configure  the  rate  of  NMEA,  UBX  and  RTCM  protocol  output  messages  of  a
base  station  or  a  rover.  If  the  rate  configuration  value  is  zero,  the  corresponding  message  will
not  be  output.  Values  greater  than  zero  indicate  how  often  the  message  is  output.  Note  that
all  message  output  is  additionally  subject  to  the  protocol  configuration  of  the  communication
interfaces. Messages of a given protocol will not be output until the protocol is enabled for output
on the interface.
Setting  the  appropriate  configuration  items  is  done  by  using  the  UBX-CFG-VALSET  message.
Several  configuration  items  allow  configuring  the  message  output  rates  per  message  and
per  communication  interface.  For  all  for  available  configuration  items,  see  the  CFG-MSGOUT
configuration group in ZED-F9P Interface Description [2].
1.9.3 Base station: RTCM3 output configuration
To enable a base station to output the recommended RTCM messages, the relevant configuration
items need to be set using the UBX-CFG-VALSET message. Below are the relevant configuration
