   * A NMEA sentence is decoded and it displays intelligibly for real time.
   * Sentence of specification and the sentence which is not supported can be displayed with the text.
   * The sentence which has checksum error and the like can be displayed with the text.
   * Graphical representation Sky-plot and SNR.
   * It displays the mean value of latitude and longitude and altitude.
   * 2drms can be calculated and displayed.
   * Optional command can be forwarded to GPS.
     Calculating checksum automatically, it adds (as a calculator of checksum it can utilize).
     It can record the command which it forwards every type of GPS up to 100, can reuse.
     Also transmission of the binary code is possible.
     Checksum is added to SiRF, UBX and MTK binary command automatically.
   * The NMEA data which it receives can be retained in the text file.
   * It can play back can display the NMEA log file.
     Playback fast forward and step playback being possible, playback of reverse direction is possible.
     The playback point can be configurated optionally with the drag of the track bar.
     The playback data can be output to the serial port and TCP port.
   * The UTC time of GPS and time difference of the personal computer can be displayed in real time.
   * Change of UTC time of RMC sentence is monitored, the report is displayed in when it fluctuated.
     It can monitor Missing the sentence.  and leap second correcting after the cold starting.
   * The elapsed time which fix after sending out the GPS command of Cold start etc., can be displayed.
   * GSA sentence can display up to 16 satellites.
   * GSV sentence can display up to 24 satellites (Up to 28 satellites except GPS).
   * The NMEA sentence can be received as RS-232C, Location API and TCP client.
   * It can output the received NMEA sentence to RS-232C and TCP port.
   * Capable of receiving RTCM3 streams (RTK positioning is possible with compatible GPS).
   * A clock of a PC can be corrected cyclically by a GPS.
   * Because a multiple start is possible, two or more GPS can be monitored at the same time.

     Start sentence.
       The Start sentence is used for delimiter detection when calculating the average value.

     Time synchronization (Sync Adj).
       The number of compensation seconds for adjusting a time synchronous delay is specified (0 to ±5.0 second).
       Inputs the lag time of time output of the GPS receiver at the second unit (The input below a decimal point is also possible).
         Note1) When the output timing of a GPS receiver does not synchronize with UTC time and it does not output under a second to UTC,
                the correction for less than ±0.5 seconds is impossible.
                Furthermore, since timing changes by the change in the number of output sentences,
                or the number of the characters in a sentence, a precise synchronization is not expectable.
         Note2) When using the Location API, since the GPS and Location API are asynchronous,
               it is not possible to make the correction error less than ±0.5 second
               (When update is 1 second interval).
       "Re." CheckBox
           When checked, Time synchronization time(UTC) and correction amount will be reported.
           It is displayed in the "Error sentence" part of "GPS Command/Report" form.

     "DEL" button.
       Information of the GPS receiver which presently is selected everything is deleted from the setting file (NMEA.ini).

     Exception.
       When select the "Not supported & not Private only" of "GPS Command/Report", the sentence which excludes indication is appointed.
       It can utilize in order to make the indication of status and the like when initializing easy to see.
       When multiple sentences are appointed divide with ",", there is no space with describe.
         Ex.) $GPBOD,$GPRMB,$GPRTE,$PGRME,$PGRMM,$PGRMZ

     GNSS mode.
       The NMEA mode of the GPS receiver is specified.
         Auto:     It judges automatically.
         GPS onry: It fixes to the GPS mode.
         +GLONASS: It fixes to the GPS+(GLONASS or Galileo or BDS) mode.

     SNR graph.
       The indicatory range and threshold level in the SNR bar graph it appoints.
       This is used only in order to make the graph of SNR easy to see.
       Threshold is indicated with the dotted line and uses in the standard of reception possible level
       (does not indicate the value of 0).

   * Option.
     Other option items are set.

     Sky-plot by linear:   When check is removed, the cosine graduation is used for angle of elevation.
     Ignore Check-Sum:     When it checks, checksum error is ignored.
     d m.m:                The Latitude and Longitude of GPS output is indicated with format of original "Degree, Minute".
                           Resolution of latitude longitude output (the number of output below the decimal point of minute) you can verify.
     d m s.s:              The Latitude and Longitude of GPS output is converted to "dd mm ss.sss" format and displayed.
     d.dd:                 The Latitude and Longitude of GPS output is converted to "dd.dddddd" format and displayed.
     Automatic re-origin:  Starting point renewal is executed automatically when a mean position leaves the origin more than 20% of ranges.
     Hint display:         When check is removed, it stops doing hint indication.
                           When hint indication is troublesome, please remove check.
     UTC fluc.(RMC):       Warning value of UTC interval fluctuation between RMC sentence (sec.).
     Same time alarm:      When the same time continues by the RMC sentence, it reports.

   * Input port.
     Condition setting of a serial communication、Lcation API and TCP host.
     When "LocAPIn" is selected as a port number, it becomes in the Location API mode (n=0,1,2, ...) and when "TCP" is selected,
     it becomes a TCP client mode.

     Serial communications mode.
       Port:    Number of the serial port which connects the GPS receiver is set.
       Baud:    Transmission speed of the serial port (baud rate) it sets.
    Re-connect: When it checks, automatic re-connection of a serial port.
                A serial port is among open, and when a non-signal state continues,
                re-opening of a serial port is performed.
                A connection cycle follows a setup of "ReOpen" of "GPS Command/Report" Min: 5Sec).
                It is useful to recovery of the broken link of Bluetooth.
       Scan:    The serial port where GPS is connected is searched.
                After appointing transmission speed, it clicks "Scan" button.
                When the "Abort" button is clicked, search is discontinued.
                When the "Retry" button is clicked, search is reexecuted.
                When GPS is not found, please try enlarging waiting "Wait" (1.5 to 5 recommended).
                When the "Auto connecting" is checked, it will automatically connect to the first found port.
                 Note1) The maximum baud rate can be specified by "MaxBaud" in the [ComPort] section of the configuration file (default is 115200 bps).
                 Note2) It can detect virtual serial port such as BlueTooth adapter regardless of transmission rate.
   "Op" button: Opens the advanced options setting form.
                Click the "Default" button to restore the default settings.
                Xon/Xoff characters are entered in decimal code (In case of hexadecimal notation, '0x' is prefixed).
                When connecting to GPS it is not necessary to change the default setting.

    TCP communication mode.
      TCP Host: IP address is specified.
                  Ex1) 192.168.1.100
                  Ex2) localhost
      TCP Port: The port number is input by the decimal number (In case of hexadecimal notation, '0x' is prefixed).
                  Note) "BoundIP" and "BoundPort" is possible to set by the [TCP] section of the configuration file "NMEA.ini".

    Location API mode.
      GSA,GSV Full: All satellite data other than GPS is also displayed and output.
                    When unchecked, GSA and GSV sentence will display and output only GPGSA and GPGSV.
                    Note) When "GSA,GSV Full" is OFF.
                          In this case, NMEA sentence will be generated from the numerical data of Location API,
                          even if NMEA sentence is output from Location API.
                          The display and output sentences are GPRMC, GPGGA, GPGSA, GPGSV only, not GNGSA, GLGSV.

                    Note 1) GPS command can not be sent.
                    Note 2) GPS and Location API are asynchronous, so "Time lag of GPS to PC" display is not accurate.
                    Note 3) When Location API does not return NMEA sentence, It generate NMEA sentence from latitude, longitude, altitude.
                            1) It output only GGA,RMC,GSA and GSV sentence.
                            2) The GSA Mode display is "3D fix" if the number of satellites is 4 or more and VDOP is 10 or less.
                            3) The display content of GSA, GSV may be different from the original NMEA.
                            4) If the number of visible satellites is small, separation between GPS and other satellites may be wrong.
                    Note 4) If the Privacy setting Location is off, it will not appear in the pull-down list.

   * Output port
      Serial: When checked, it outputs the received NMEA sentence to the serial port.
              The same port as the Input-port is invalid.
        Port:   Set the serial port number.
        Baud:   Sets the communication speed (baud rate) of the serial port.
        UBX:    If checked, only UBX data is output to serial port.
                It is used when NEO-D9C or NEO-D9S is connected.
        Cmd:    If checked, the command string from the serial terminal will be sent to GPS.
        "Op" button: Opens the advanced options setting form.
                     Xon/Xoff characters are entered in decimal code (In case of hexadecimal notation, '0x' is prefixed).
                     Click the "Default" button to restore the default settings.
        Note) If the transmission buffer is insufficient, discard the data and display the following message
              in the "Error Sentence" section of the "GPS Command/Report" form.
                "* [Output port] Serial port transmission baud rate is insufficient!!"
              In this case increase the transmission Baud-rate.

      TCP:   When checked, it outputs the received NMEA sentence to the TCP port (TCP host).
        Port:  Sets the TCP port number (In case of hexadecimal notation, '0x' is prefixed).
        UBX:   If checked, only UBX data is output to TCP port.
               It is used when NEO-D9C or NEO-D9S is connected.
        Cmd:   If checked, the command string from the TCP terminal will be sent to GPS.

   * Local time.
     The data in order to convert UTC to the local time is set.

     Time diff:  The time difference of UTC and the local time is set (in Japan 09:00:00).
     Short name: Abbreviation of the time zone is set.
     Auto:       When it checks, the setting of OS is acquired automatically.
                 An abbreviated name pickup and creates only a capital letter from the
                 time zone name of OS (Only when a time zone name is returned with an English character).
                 It specially converts it into "JST" for "Tokyo Standard Time" or "東京 (標準時)" the Time zone name.

   * Printing and copy.
     Popup menu - it indicates with the right click of the mouse, can copy to printing and the clipboard of form image.


3.  Printing and copy (Main Form)

   "File" -> "Print" the Form picture the hard copy is done in the printer.
    It is copied to also the clipboard. The paper of A4 size is necessary.

   "File" -> "Copy" image of Form is copied in the clipboard.


4. Record of data/playback.

   * Playback indication of GPS data.
     It replays the data file which was saved in the record and it displays data.

     When file name is appointed with "File" -> "Start Replay",
     it becomes log playback mode and the track bar and the operation button are appear.
     It ends log playback mode in "File" -> "Stop Replay".

     When ">" the button is clicked, playback is started.
     When starting the playback output interval of the original data it plays back unrelated always at 1 second interval,
     but refresh rate at each time the ">" button is clicked becomes quick.
     Point of playback is indicated with the track bar,
     When the track bar the drug is done with the mouse, the playback point can be modified.

     When "+" button is clicked, just 1 data replay in forward direction, when "-" the button is clicked,
     just 1 data plays back in opposite direction (step playback).
     When "||" button is clicked, playback is pause.

     The drug & drop doing the log file in main form, it starts log playback.
     However, during of log recording and while playing back are ignored.

   * Record of GPS reception data.
     Raw data from GPS is recorded in the text file.

     Appointing file name with "File" -> "Start Recording" it starts record.
     When extension name is abbreviated, ".nmea" is added.
     Record is stopped by "File" -> "Stop Recording" and a file is closed.

     Note) When extension name of default is modified,
           Setting file "NMEA.ini" the part of "NmeaExt=.nmea" of the [Option] section is modified.


5. GPS Command/Report.

   The GPS command/report indicatory window opens in the "Tool" -> "GPS Command/Report".
   The drug doing the window corner, it can expand and reduce the size of the window.

   * GPS command transmission (GPS command).
     Optional command is send to the GPS receiver.
     Because it has automatic operation addition of checksum and display function, checksum calculation is unnecessary.

     Inputting GPS command, when it clicks "Send", it transmits the command character string to the GPS receiver,
     that command is registered to the drop down list.
     It can record every GPS receiver to 100 commands.

     When "Delete" button is clicked, the GPS command which it is selective is deleted from record in "NMEA.ini".

     To include control character to GPS command, the escape sign "\" continuing,
     hexadecimal character string 1 or 2 columns it appoints (0-9, A-F, a-f).
     "\" as for itself "\\", "|" as for itself "\|", ";" as for itself "\;", "*" as for itself "\*" The way you describe.
     When the space is included "\ " or "\20" you describe.

       Ex.) Input character string and output (hexadecimal notation) correspondence.
            a\12b -> 61 12 62   x\ay -> 78 0A 79   x\yz -> 78 79 7A
            a\012 -> 61 01 32   a\\b -> 61 5C 62   a\|b -> 61 7C 62
            \* Test \* -> * Test *

     If the beginning of command \A0\A2 then regard as SiRF binary command, when checksum is abbreviated, checksum and End-sequence(B0 B3) are added automatically.
     If the beginning of command \B5\62 then regard as UBX binary command, when checksum is abbreviated, checksum are added automatically.
     If the beginning of command \04\24 then regard as MTK binary command, when checksum is abbreviated, checksum are added automatically.

     If the command begins with "#" and the checksum is abbreviated, CRC32 (initial value = 0, right shift) is automatically added instead of the checksum.

     If you do not want to add a checksum, write "\$" instead of the first "$".
     If you do not want to add CRC32, write "\#" instead of "#" at the beginning.

     Anything after the semicolon(;) is regarded as a comment and ignored.
       Exception:
        1) Baud rate after the GPS command forwarding can be specified to the comment part
           ( \B9600\ The way numerical value is surrounded with "\B" and "\" ).
        2) If \PMTK335\ is written in the comment part, the RTC time of MediaTek chipset is set to the current time.
           Note 1) The GPS time advances several seconds until the leap second correction is completed (up to 12 minutes after the fix).
           Note 2) Re-setting may be required due to battery depletion.

     When sending the command from the terminal to the GPS, "[ " is appended to the top and displayed.
       Ex.)  [ $PMTK101*32__

     Concerning forwarding and CheckSum addition control of multiple commands later description
     "11. About the setting file" it is reference.

   * Option.
     Fix time: It displays the elapsed time which fixs after sending out a GPS command.
               When "RTCM source" is turned on, the elapsed time until RTK fix is displayed.
                 Note) RTK fix time varies with the period and timing of RTCM3 message 1005 (or 1006).
     Chk-Sum:  When checksum is not included in command, checksum is added.
               If the end of a NMEA command character sequence is "*", CheckSum is not added,
               but "*" is deleted and sent out.
     Cr:       The Carriage-return code is added to GPS command (usually checks).
     Lf:       The Line-feed code is added to GPS command (usually checks).

   * Indication of non support sentence and selective sentence.
     Only the sentence which is not supported, only the sentence which is selected,
     selecting all sentences, it can indicate.

     Indicatory contents are selected with combo box of the left top.
       Display off:            The display update is stopped.
       Not supported only:     Only the sentence which is not supported with the NMEA monitor is indicated.
       Not supported &
       not private only :      Except for the "Exception" sentence specified as the option,
                               it displays from the above-mentioned display.
                               (Indication of status when initializing etc., can be made easy to see).
       Display all sentences:  All reception data are indicated.
     Only the corresponding sentence is displayed except the above.

     Become a "Display off" with one click of the "off" button, the button will change to "ret.".

6. Indication of Track and averaging value(Average display).

   The mean value of Latitude Longitude, Altitude and Track can be indicated in "Tool" -> "Average display".
    To exclude the initial drift, the first three times immediately after the fix will be delayed to start.
    The number of delays can be changed in "AveDelayCount" in the configuration file [Option] section.

   * Indication of average value.
     If the "HDOP" radio button is checked, the data below the specified HDOP will be averaged
     (if the specified value is blank, the data will be averaged without the HDOP limit).
     IIf you check the "Aggregate only RTK or PPS fix" radio buttons, only RTK fix or PPS fix data will be averaged.
     Click the "Start" button to start averaging, and click the "Stop" button to stop averaging.
     When the GSA sentence is outputted, only the data at the time of 3-dimensional positioning is used for an average altitude.
     "The number of times of an average of latitude longitude" and "the  number of times of an average of altitude" are
     respectively displayed on the column of "Count".
     2drms display the theoretical value of the radius of the circle which is horizontal position accuracy and
     is supposed that 95% of all positioning points are included
     (It is proper, but if determination it does not do in position fixing, there is no meaning).
     Click the "2drms" label to change it to "CEP(50%)" and "2drms" alternately.
     Because it calculates elapsed time from the data of GPS, even in at the time of log playback it can indicate correctly.
     When "Reset" button is clicked, value is initialized.

     Note) Please observe the measurement of 2drms for about 12-24 hours in open sky.
           If the static navigation mode cannot be turned off, 2drms cannot be measured.
           Measurable quantity fluctuates with influence of measurement region and condition of the satellite etc.

   * Indication of Track.
     With "Track" the locus which designates the position when starting averaging as standard is displayed with the dot.
     When "Average" tab is clicked, change of mean value is indicated with Track.
     It cannot indicate with polar nearby high latitude area correctly.
     To be offered by the one for drift verification of GPS output mainly, as for the indicatory range the ±0.1 to ±200 m.
     Click the "Origin" button to set the current average value to the starting point and continue averaging
     (Points are saved by logarithmic compression to save storage space, so the resolution is non-linear.
     Therefore, each time you execute "Update Origin", the trajectory is deformed in proportion to the moving distance.)
     When "Rreset" button is clicked, also Track is cleared.

     When the mouse the right is clicked, popup menu - is indicated.
       Clear Track:       Clearing present Track, only new Track indicates.
       Track by 1 pixel:  It indicates Track with 1 pixel.
       Track by 4 pixels: It indicates Track with 4 pixels.
       Print Form :       Image of Form is printed in the printer.
                          It is copied to also the clipboard.
       Copy Form:         Image of Form is copied in the clipboard.
       Copy Text:         Text of Form is copied in the clipboard.

     The resolution of the graph display is about 0.26cm in the range of 10cm.

   * Display the difference between the average value and the true coordinates.
     Check the checkbox "Difference between true coordinates and average".
     Enter your exact latitude/longitude and altitude in the "True coordinates" group box.
     The latitude and longitude can be entered in the format of "dd.ddddd", "dd mm.mm mm", "dd mm ss.ssss".
     Click the "Start" button to display the difference from the observed average value in real time.
     "Angle" shows the direction from true coordinates to average coordinates (North=0°, East=90°, South=180°, West=270°).

     Clicking on the "Ave/cur" string in the upper right corner changes it to "ave/Cur" and
     displays the difference between the current value and the true coordinates (toggle).
        Ave/cur : Displays the difference between the average value and the true coordinates.
        ave/Cur : Displays the difference between the current value and the true coordinates.

     Clicking "∧" hides the "True Coordinates" group box, and clicking "∨" redisplays it.

       Note 1) For detailed analysis, please use the "Statistics Utility", which is a post-processing tool.
               https://4river.a.la9.jp/gps/index.htm#005
       Note 2) Vertical error includes geoid height error of the GPS receiver.
               To get an accurate geoid height offline, use the "Geoid Correction Utility".
               https://4river.a.la9.jp/gps/index.htm#007

   Restriction item.
     Limitation when GNGNS sentence is not output.
     1) When GGA sentence is not output, it cannot averaging MSL altitude,
        (In order to substitute a RMC sentence).
        In this case HDOP of GSA sentence is used, but when either GSA sentence is not output,
        ignoring the appointment of HDOP, it averaging.
     2) When neither of GGA and RMC is output, it cannot indicate mean value and Track.


7. Time correction of personal computer (Clock synchronization).

   When the GPS receiver Fix and RMC or ZDA sentence is output,
   The calendar timer of the personal computer is adjust with "Tool" -> "Clock synchronization" making use of the GPS time data.
   When the correction quantity exceeds 30 minutes, verification dialogue is indicated.
   It is necessary to execute it by manager's account.

    Note 1) The time lag of the UTC output of a GPS receiver is set as "Sync Adj" of the "GPS receiver" of an option,
            and the time of PC can be revise.
    Note 2) When the cold start or long time it is not used, depending upon the GPS receiver,
            immediately after the GPS fix, there are times when it cannot revise leap second just.
            In this case after 13 minute after the Fix or more elapsing, please perform.
    Note 3) When RMC is not output, for deciding the determination state, GGA or GLL sentence is necessary other than ZDA.
    Note 4) In Windows Vista and later, you must have administrator privileges to modify the time.
            When "Run this program as an administrator" check is inserted with the executable file or the property of shortcut,
            it reaches the point where being promoted dialogue to Administrator is indicated in when starting.
    Note 5) Time correction can be performed periodically by "/T" Command line option.
              Ex) NMEA.exe 10/T   Time is adjusted at intervals of ten minutes.
    Note 6) When using the Location API, since the GPS and Location API are asynchronous,
            it is not possible to make the correction error less than ±0.5 second.
    Note 7) When using the Location API via "u-blox GNSS Sensor Device Driver".
            Since the Location API uses the PC time as the GPS time stamp,
            it can not be used for time correction (Please use serial port connection).

    Caution) For GPS that does not hold the leap second correction value.
             In this case the time after Fix is 1-18 seconds faster (as of Jan. 2022).
             Please to execute after the elapse 12 minutes or more after GPS Fix (need for ephemeris reception).
             Usually the error as the old manufacturing date GPS will increase.
             Be careful because the leap second correction value by the cold-start and power-off might be reset.
             This phenomenon can be seen in a change in the "Time lag of GPS to PC" or "UTC moved back" report.

    Reference) How to obtain the "Sync Adj" value when using the Location API.
             Start the NTP client application and set it to the cyclic correction mode with a cycle of about 5 minutes.
             Wait till 12 minutes elapse after GPS is FIXed.
             Open the "Time lag of GPS to PC" form in "Tool"->"Time lag of GPS to PC" and check "Statistics" Check box.
             Wait until the difference between "Max(S)" and "Min(S)" becomes about 1 second (it may be necessary for over 40 minutes).
             The "Sync Adj"  value is obtained with -(Max+Min)/2.
             Example) When  Max=-0.2 Min=-1.2
                      "Sync Adj" = -((-0.2)+(-1.2))/2 = -(-1.4/2) = 0.7


8. Indication of differential time of the GPS UTC and PC-time and sentence reception time.

   Form is opened in "Tool" -> "Time lag of GPS to PC",
   differential time of the UTC time of GPS and personal computer time (GPS time - PC time),
   reception time of sentence is indicated in each sentence in real time.
   Please use after synchronizing the clock of a personal computer with a time server etc.,
   (It is desirable that it can synchronize in the accuracy for less than 0.1 second).
   "Sakura Watch network time client" by Mr. UNO Shintaro is recommended if it uses it in a Japanese mode.
      http://www.vector.co.jp/soft/dl/win95/personal/se050672.html

   Since it has the influence of the number of serial data bytes,
   internal processing delay, etc., Under a second is regarding it as a rough standard.
   Since timing changes also in the existence of a GSA, GSV sentence, when the sending-out
   sequence of a NMEA sentence can be specified like i.Trek Bluetooth GPS,
   it will be good to specify GSA and GSV to be an end.

   When the "Statistics" check box is checked, the maximum value,
   minimum value and the mean value of the time difference are displayed.
   The display is discontinued when the check is removed and statistics are clear.

   Popup menu - it indicates with the right click of the mouse, can copy to printing and the clipboard of Form image.

     Note 1) When there is a differential time above ±12 hours, differential time cannot be indicated correctly.
     Note 2) If "Statistics" check box is off and Form is closed when unnecessary,
             Unnecessary calculation processing is not performed.
     Note 3) Usually, resolution of the calendar timer with the Windows machine is approximately 15.6mS,
             but there are times when occurs the processing delay of several dozen mS or more with such as task waiting.
     Note 4) Depending on the device driver there may be a delay.


   Insert the reception timing error of RMC sentence in NMEA log if you check the "Logging" check box.
   You can set the lower limit of the reception timing error output in "IgnoreRange" of
   [TimeErrLogging] section of the configuration file "NMEA.ini" in seconds.
   If "IgnoreRange" is zero output with no limit.

     Output format:  $GPTXT,01,01,07,RMC delay,<RMC time(UTC)>,<time error(sec.)>,<IgnoreRange(sec.)>*<Sum>
     Output example: $GPTXT,01,01,07,RMC delay,2016/06/10 09:05:01.400,-0.125,0*6D

     Note 1) It is necessary to calibrate the time of the PC using NTP servers regularly.
             If you do not calibrate the PC clock to cyclic, it will record the drift of your PC clock.
     Note 2) Received time (UTC) is determined by the <RMC time(UTC)> - <time error(sec.)> .


9. Indication of reception data.

   * Data display of each sentence.

     Whenever it receives data, a data display is updated, and the title background of corresponding sentence blinks.
     Error status is indicated in the right side of sentence title.
       E: Checksum error.
       N: There is no checksum.
       L: Number of items is excessive.
       S: Insufficient number of items (Except the GSA sentence).

     GSA and GSV sentences of GPS are displayed in the left pane.
     GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou GSA and GSV sentences, other than GPS, will be displayed in the right display frame.

      Each sentence commonness.
        When numerical value such as altitude and speed is blank, unit symbol "M, K, N" and so on it does not indicate.

    Note) Depending on a GPS receiver, the altitude from WGS-84 ellipse to a receiver is output to the
          MSL altitude of a GGA sentence (Especially in the case of the receiver which does not display geoid quantity, it is careful.).
          In this case geoid height subtraction those which are done become altitude from indicated value.

          Moreover, although an MSL altitude is outputted in TOKYO datum,
          keep in mind that there is also a GPS receiver which outputs the altitude from WGS-84 ellipse to a receiver in WGS-84 datum.

          Concerning the geoid height of Japan the Web page of national geographical institute "ジオイド・モデル「日本のジオイド2011」（Ver.2.2）の提供",
          Please refer to https://fgd.gsi.go.jp/download/geoid.php
            Ref.) The geoid of Tokyo stations height has become approximately 36.6m.

   * Displaying Extended Sentences
     When a sentence with "H" added to the end of the sentence name (TALKER identifier) is received, a small button will appear in the upper left corner of the main form.
     Clicking the button changes the caption to "H" and displays the extended sentence specified in the configuration file.
       Example) $GPGGAH, $GPRMCH, etc.
       The sentences to be displayed can be specified in the [Expansion Sentence] section of the configuration file "NMEA.ini".
     Reference)
       If you want to display standard sentences and extended sentences at the same time,
       start a sub NMEA monitor and receive data from the main NMEA monitor via TCP transfer.
         Main NMEA monitor: Check "TCP" of "Output port"
         Sub NMEA monitor: Set "Input port" to "TCP" and "TCP Host" to "Localhost"
         Note) If the sub NMEA monitor is on another PC, set the computer name (or IP address) of the main PC in TCP Host.
               Multiple TCP clients can be connected.

   * Position indication of satellite (Sky plot).

     GSV sentence is necessary in the indication of Sky plot.
     A GSA sentence is required to indicate the satellite in use by classification by color.

    Note3) The "RTCM source" form cannot be opened with the "Location API" connection.

    Open the setting form by "Tools"-> "RTMC source".
    The form size can be scaled by dragging the outer frame.

    Specify the connection destination in the "Source" combo box.

    Clicking on the toggle switch turns it "On" and receives the RTCM3 stream and sends it to the GPS receiver.
    The positioning status and fix time (when "Fix time" of "GPS Command/Report" form is checked) are displayed in the upper center of the form.
    When an RTCM3 stream is received, the distance to the base station is displayed in the upper left,
    and the number of bytes transferred is displayed in the upper right.
      Note 1) If the GPS port is not open, it will wait for reception.
      Note 2) If "RTK fix time" in the "GPS Command/Report" form is checked, the elapsed time until RTK positioning is displayed.
      Note 3) RTK fix time varies with the period and timing of RTCM3 message 1005 (or 1006).

    The checkboxes in the "Send to GPS" group box allow you to select the data to be sent to GPS.
    Usually, only "RTCM3" is checked.

    If "GGA" is checked in the "Send to Base sta." group box, the GGA sentences from GPS will be sent to RTCM base station.
    If "RMC" is checked in the "Send to Base sta." group box, the RMC sentences from GPS will be sent to RTCM base station.
    The default transmission cycle is 5 seconds and can be changed with "SendNMEAinterval" in the [RTCM] section
    of the configuration file (1 to 120 seconds in seconds).
    Each time a NMEA sentence is sent, italic font and normal font are displayed alternately.

      The settings are saved in the [AcceptRTCM3] section of the configuration file (NMEA.ini) for each GPS name.

      Checking the "H" checkbox will hide the blocked RTCM3 messages and only show the messages that have been transferred to the GPS.
      The state of the check box "H" is not saved and restored in the configuration file.

    If no RTCM3 stream signal continues, reconnect automatically.
    The reconnection waiting time can be specified in "ReconTime" in the [RTCM] section of the configuration file ( 5 seconds or more: default 15 seconds ).

    Operation example for u-blox ZED-F9P
      When the RTCM3 stream is received, the "DGPS age" of GGA sentence will be less than a few seconds,
      "Pos Fix" changes to  SPS fix -> (DGPS fix) -> (FloatRTK fix) -> RTK fix.
      You can reset the state by sending a Hot start command before switching the RTCM3 base station.

    Reference) Steps for performing an RTK using a base station that sends u-blox data.
      1. Use rtkconv and rtkpost from rtklib in advance to determine the exact location of the base station.
         Use the file saved by "Save RTCM".
         rtklib URL
           http://gpspp.sakura.ne.jp/indexe.html
           http://www.rtklib.com/
      2. Set the position of the base station in "Base sation" (check "Replace").
      3. Read the stream converted from u-blox to RTCM3 using "strsvr" of "rtklib" (easy if you use TCP).
         Note) u0210:RXM-RAW or u0215:RXM-RAWX is required.

12. RTK base station mode setting (u-blox ZED-X20P, ZED-F9P)

    Execute the command ";\UBX-ARP= Lat, Lon, Alt, AntH\" to enter RTK base station mode (replace Lat, Lon, Alt, AntH with the actual antenna coordinates).
    Alt is the ellipsoid height(m).
       Ex.) ;\UBX-ARP= -43.530961799, 172.636665339, 17.579, 1.23\
            ;\UBX-ARP= -43 31.857708, 172 38.19992034, 17.579, 1.23\     dd mm.mmmm
            ;\UBX-ARP= -43 31 51.46248, 172 38 11.99522, 17.579, 1.23\   dd mm ss.ssss
       Note 1) If you are not outputting RTCM 1006, you can omit the antenna height (AntH).
       Note 2) The antenna height (AntH) cannot be set on the ZED-F9P HPG1.51.

    GPS control commands to be executed :
      CFG-TMODE-POS_TYPE = 1-LLH
      CFG-TMODE-LAT
      CFG-TMODE-LAT_HP
      CFG-TMODE-LON
      CFG-TMODE-LON_HP
      CFG-TMODE-HEIGHT
      CFG-TMODE-HEIGHT_HP
      CFG-RTCM-DF028_OUT  :Output only when AntH is specified
      CFG-TMODE-MODE = 2-FIXED
      It will take approximately 8 seconds to complete the command transmission.

    To disable RTK base station mode, run the following command:
      \B5\62\06\8A\09\00\00\01\00\00\01\00\03\20\00\BE\7F ;CFG-TMODE-MODE Disabled (Disable RTK base station mode)

    Note 1) The antenna coordinates for your base station can be determined using a commercial RTK service or by utilizing an GNSS Reference Station Data Service and RTKLIB.
              RTKLIB : https://www.rtklib.com/
    Note 2) When in RTK base station mode, the Latitude, Longitude, and Altitude + Geoid values ​​in the NMEA sentence are fixed to specified values,
            and the DOP value is fixed to 99.99.
    Note 3) If the specified coordinates are off by approximately 500m or more, or if the ellipsoidal height is off by approximately ±170m or more, a warning NMEA message
              $GNTXT,01,01,01,Reference station position seems incorrect*6C
            is output.
            If the specified coordinates or ellipsoid height are significantly off, the NMEA sentence will output a "No fix" state.
    Note 4) RTCM 1005 can only be output in RTK base station mode.
    Note 5) Latitude and longitude accuracy is approximately ±1 LSB to 9 decimal places, while ellipsoidal height accuracy is approximately ±1 LSB to 4 decimal places.
    Note 6) To save the RTK base station mode, store the contents of RAM to NVRAM.
              ... ;Save settings to non-volatile memory
              This ensures that the RTK base station mode is maintained even after power is turned off and on.

            To reset NVRAM to its default values, first restore RAM to its factory default settings, then save to NVRAM.
              ... ;Restore non-volatile memory to factory defaults
              ... ;Load settings from non-volatile memory


13. Change of a display language.

    With "Language" -> "Japanese" Japanese indication, with "Language" -> "English" it becomes English indication mode.
    Display font can be specified by "Language" -> "Font".
    The fontsize that doesn't exist in the pull-down list can input the key directly.
    Keep in mind not settled within the display limit depending on the kind or size of a font.

    As for font name of default "Tahoma", as for size it has become "8".
    It can appoint also the attribute of Color and the Bold type etc.,
    but the fact that it save in the setting file is only font name, character set and font size.

    Note) Please use the font of a proportional font and a small size when the display of the latitude longitude exceeds it to the display frame.


14. About the setting file.

    Setting is retained in Text file "NMEA.ini".
    If the folder that contains the executable file(NMEA.exe) is write-protected,
    the configuration file will be copied and used in the following folder.
      C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\[NMEA folder]\NMEA.ini

        [User name] is the folder that appears when you type "echo %APPDATA%"<Enter> at the DOS prompt.
        [NMEA folder] is the folder there is a NMEA.exe.

      Note) When "C:\" includes "NMEA.exe",
            it becomes C:\Users\[User name]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\NMEA.ini.

        RTK2go.com=http://RTK2go.com:2101

   *Expansion Sentence section
      Suffix:   The letter "H" added to the standard sentence.
      Sentence: List of sentences to which "Suffix" is added (not displayed when the button caption at the top left of the form is "H").

   Concerning other section please refer to the comment of the "NMEA.ini" file.


15. Command line option.

    A setting file is specified to be a command line, It can use another setting file in place of "NMEA.ini" of default.
    As for extension name of setting file it must be ".INI".
    In addition also it is possible to appoint the Log file.
    Extension name of the Log file makes 4 types of ".nmea", ".nme", ".Log", ".txt".

    When a drive name and a path are omitted, It shall be in the same folder as NMEA.EXE.
    When the setting file does not exist, it is make up anew.

      Example)
        NMEA Other.ini            "Other.ini" in same folder with executable file is used.
        NMEA D:\GPS.ini           "GPS.ini" of D: drive route is used.
        NMEA Other.ini Test.Log   Setting file "Other.ini" to read, and "Test.Log" is played back.
        NMEA Test.nme             Log file "Test.nme" is played back.

      When the GPS receiver 2 or more is connected to 1 PC simultaneously, it is convenient if you create the shortcut of NMEA.EXE
      (The created shortcut is right-clicked, a property is chosen and a setting file name is added to the end of a link place).

    Note) Setting file and Log file the drug & drop doing in the icon of NMEA.EXE, it is possible also to start.
          However, during of log recording and while playing back are ignored.
          Setting file and the Log file only each 1 file are effective (When plural is appointed, the first file is used).

    Automatic record start of NMEA data.

      When "/W" is added to the log file name of the command line, the record is started automatically by the file name.
      When the file name is omitted, beginning date (yyyy-mm-dd_hh-mm-ss) is made a file name.
      When the blank is included in the file name and path, it encloses with double quotes.
      If the log file has already existed, it adds it to the file.

      Ex) NMEA Test/W
            Data is recorded in "Test.nmea".
          NMEA /W
            It records by the file name "<time of the date when starting>.nmea".

      Note) When the folder name is omitted,
            it's written in the folder specified by "WriteDir" of the [Option] section of the configuration file.
            The value of "WriteDir" is updated in the use of SaveDialog.

    GPS command sending when starting: /B
      When starting, it sends it automatically when the command number in the configuration file is specified.
      Ex) NMEA Cmd1/B

    GPS command sending when ending: /E
      When ending, it sends it automatically when the command number in the configuration file is specified.
      Ex) NMEA Cmd10/E

    Automatic termination: /Q
      When the time specified by "<Days>/Q" passes, it ends automatically.
      Ex) NMEA 0.125/Q    It will end in three hours automatically.

    Minimization: /S
       After it start-up, the form is minimized.

    Periodic time correction： /T
       Time correction is executes by designated time interval(in minutes).
       The second of the correction timing can be specified with "SyncTiming" of the [Option] section of the configuration file (Default is 35).

         Ex) NMEA 10/T   Time is adjusted at intervals of ten minutes.

         Note1）A multiple start cannot be done with option /T.
         Note2) Time correction timing immediately after start-up is asynchronous.

    Combination example.
      NMEA test.ini Cmd1/B /Q
        Configuration file "test.ini" is used and Command "Cmd1" of GPS is sent and it ends immediately.
      NMEA 30/T /S
        The form is minimized and time synchronizes every 30 minutes.


16. Troubleshooting.

   * Can not perform TCP communication.
     There is a possibility that communication is blocked with anti-virus software.
     In the case of via a router, setting such as port mapping is necessary.

   * Location API can not be opened.
     Please set it to "ON" if "Location" of "Privacy" of "Setting" is "OFF".

   * The reception data is not indicated.
     1) Port number of Com. port mismatch.
        "Port" of a serial port is set as the port which connected the GPS receiver as an "Option" -> "Option setting", and "OK" is clicked.

        When the serial port non inputs, "NoSIG "is indicated in the error status of RS-232C with the "Tool" -> "GPS Command/Report".

     2) Transmission speed of Com. port mismatch.
        In combination with "Baud" of the Com. port to the speed of the GPS receiver with "Option" -> "Option setting", clicks "OK" (NMEA standard is 4800bps).
        When the connected port and baud rate are unclear, when "Scan" button is clicked,
        auto search the serial port and report the result.
          Note) When the initial value of the "Baud" is actually lower, there may not be able to detect the GPS.

     3) Output mode of the GPS receiver has become SiRF binary mode.
        When "Tool" -> "GPS Command/Report" -> "Not supported only", "SiRF-Bin" is indicated in the report forefront.
        The below-mentioned GPS command please transmit.
          \A0\A2\0\18\81\2\1\1\0\1\2\1\2\1\1\1\0\1\0\1\0\1\0\1\0\1\12\C0\1\65\B0\B3 ;\B4800\
          (transmission speed of the GPS receiver is reset in 4800bps).

     4) For Unicore UM982 etc.
        In the initial settings, NMEA sentences are not output, so it is necessary to send a setting command.  Ex) GPGGA COM1 1
        Note that the FRESET command also stops outputting NMEA sentences.

   * Average of mean value is not started immediately.
     When a HDOP value is specified, it stands by until HDOP of receiving data becomes below this value.

   * We would like to set the port and transmission speed outside the range.
     It can set up, if hardware and the driver correspond and a port number and transmission speed will be inputted by manual.

   * GPS command and option setting are not retained.
     Setting file (with default NMEA.ini) has become write protect, setup cannot be saved.

   * Power saving function of the SiRF make GPS receiver is abnormal.
     It seems that the shortest time of power-on is prescribed by the power supply injection cycle
     (The power-saving function is not mounted depending on the model).

      1 to 2 second period: Above power-on 200mS.
      3 to 6 second period: Above power-on 300mS.
      7 to 8 second period: Above power-on 400mS.

   * The sub menu remains from the capture picture and printing of form.
     Setting file please try enlarging the value of "CaptureDelay" of the "Option" section of "NMEA.ini".
     As for default 8 (waiting of 50mS unit).

   * It cannot print form image.
     It prints, after carrying out the capture of the form image to a clip board.
     For this reason, when other applications are using the clip board, printing may go wrong depending on timing.

   * Abbreviated name of a local time is not displayed correctly.
     In Windows other than the English version, please turn OFF the "Short name" of the
     "Local time" of an option setting "Auto", and input a "Short name" manually.

   * Time synchronizing fails.
     Comparing the difference of UTC and the PC time which are included in RMC immediately before and the difference of the latest RMC reception time,
     when it is within 0.1 seconds only, it runs time synchronization.
     Therefore when RMC 1 second cycle, GSA, GSV is 2 second cycle,
     when RMC is forwarded hugely after GSA, GSV because the timing of RMC changes in every time, there are times when it cannot do time synchronization.
     In this case, it is solvable by making GSA, GSA into 3 seconds or more, or making it the cycle of 1 second.

     With "Windows Vista" or later Administrator is necessary in correction of Time.
     When "Run this program as an administrator" check with the executable file or the property of shortcut,
     it reaches the point where being promoted dialogue to Administrator is indicated in when starting.

   * Command via Bluetooth is ignored.
     As for i-Blue747 and BT-Q1000, the command via Bluetooth is ignored.
     The command is ignored when feeding power with the USB cable even when "Resistor Hack" is applied.

   * The use satellite is not marked in the sky plot and the bar graph.
     Only one GPGSA sentence (for 12 satellites) is output in Garmin GLO, therefore can mark it only to 12.

   * Only RMC and the GGA sentence are displayed or other sentences thin out and it is displayed.
     It occurs in case of a low-speed PC.
     Please slow down the output cycle of NMEA or make the log file once and display it.

   * "..." is displayed in the sentence display by "GPS Command/Report" form.
     It occurs in case of a low-speed PC like the above.
     Please slow down the output cycle of NMEA or make the log file once and display it.

   * "* Receive buffer overflowed" is displayed in "Error sentence" by "GPS Command/Report" form.
     It is caused in the following condition.
       1) When other heavy processes are running.
       2) When a title bar was being clicked long.
       3) When the menu operation was reserved long.

   * Drag&Drop is disregarded.
     Drag&Drop is prohibited while executing it by the administrator.

   * Altitude error during RTK positioning is large.
     If the GPS geoid value is not accurate, you can correct the NMEA log with GeoidCorrect.exe.
     https://4river.a.la9.jp/gps/index.htm#007

   * Do not RTK fix.
     If the base station has not sent message 1005 (or 1006), it will not the RTK fix .
     In this case, set the base station coordinates in "Base station position" and check "Replace".

   * RTK fix position is incorrect.
     If the base station is sending the wrong coordinates, set the correct coordinates in the "Base station position" and check "Replace".

   * Time to RTK fix varies.
     If the base station message 1005 (or 1006) transmission cycle is 30 seconds, it will change to 30 seconds depending on the timing.
     In this case, set the coordinates of the "Base station position" base station and check "Replace" to transmit at 5 second intervals (default).
     The transmission cycle can be set from 1 to 60 seconds with "LocalPosInterval" in the [RTCMn] section of the setting file (n = 1 to 50).


17. PRN of SBAS and correspondence of GSV sentence satellite number.
