NMEA-GX-GSV

Description:

Standard NMEA: GNSS satellites in view.

This NMEA message contains different headers depending on the source constellation (e.g., NMEA-GP-GSV for GPS, NMEA-GA-GSV for Galileo). Please ensure you parse all available constellation characters to avoid losing any information.

Configuration:

  • NMEA-GX-GSV_GNSS for combined (average) output from both receivers

    • The list of satellites contains the union of satellites used by GNSS1 and GNSS2

  • NMEA-GX-GSV_GNSS1 for output from GNSS 1 receiver

    • This is the standard NMEA GSV for GNSS1.

  • NMEA-GX-GSV_GNSS2 for output from GNSS 2 receiver

    • This is the standard NMEA GSV for GNSS2.

  • NMEA-GX-GSV_FUSION for output from Fusion

    • The list of satellites contains the union of satellites used by GNSS1 and GNSS2

Notes:

  • These messages does not contain any information that would let one tell them apart. Do not enable more than one of these in the same port.

  • This message is according to NMEA 0183 v4.11 (and erratas).

  • This message is output mutiple times per epoch. A set of GSV sentences is generated for each combination system (GNSS) and signal.

  • This message uses the per-system talker IDs and NMEA v4.11 satellite numbering.
