5. User Interface
UB-93 provides 2-wire digital UART port for communication of GPS position data using NMEA protocol or MTK extension protocol. UART port is capable of 4800 to 115200 baud rate. 5.1 NMEA Protocol UB-93 is default to support standard NMEA-0183 protocol. In addition, a series of MTK extensions (PMTK messages) have been developed that can be used to provide extended capabilities common to many applications. NMEA Protocol format UB-93 is capable of supporting following NMEA formats:
