NMEA Output description: To transmit data using the NMEA standard protocol, the instrument must be configured accordingly.
☞ The appropriate position rate licences must be installed to access all output rates.
☞ Two NMEA interfaces can be active in parallel. The NMEA interfaces can be assigned to one of the serial ports, the Bluetooth port, a Net port via the Ethernet port, or via the modem.
NMEA Output settings step-by-step
ORP Output: The ORP output differs from standard NMEA messages
• The ORP message is a Leica proprietary message and delivers position information of one or two antennas.
• In a two antenna setup the orientation between the antennas is calculated as well. This feature is only available for iCG82.
Configurable values
• Rate: Define the output rate.
• Output: It is possible to stream the Master position (Pos 1) or Master and Slave positions (Pos 1 & 2). Using Pos 1,2 & Hdg (N) allows to stream Heading data as well. Available for WGS84 and when the coordinate system is set to Local Grid.
• Coords and Height: The available Height format depends on the selected Coordinate format. For local coordinates a "*.lok", a "*.xml" or "TRFSET.DAT" file is required.
ORP settings can be accessed via Settings > Tools > NMEA Output. Select the port you want ORP data to be output from (NMEA Out 1 or/and NMEA Out 2) and toggle to Edit. ORP is available on the second page of the wizard. Refer to B ORP – Orientation and Position for further information about ORP.
