CDSA/B Communication and Differential Decode Status
The GPSCard maintains a running count of a variety of status indicators of the data link. This log outputs a report
of those indicators.
Parity and framing errors will occur if poor transmission lines are encountered or if there is an incompatibility in
the data protocol. If errors occur, you may need to confirm the bit rate, number of data bits, number of stop bits and
parity of both the transmit and receiving ends. Overrun errors will occur if more characters are sent to the UART
than can be removed by the on-board microprocessor.

4 xon1 Flag to indicate that the com1 is using XON/XOFF handshaking protocol and port has received
an xoff and will wait for an xon before sending any more data.
0
5 cts1 Flag to indicate that com1 is using CTS/RTS handshake protocol and cts line port has been
asserted. The port will wait for the line to de-assert before sending any more data.
0
6 parity1 A running count of character parity errors from the UART of COM1 0
7 overrun1 A running count of UART buffer overrun errors of COM1 0
8 framing1 A running count of character framing error from the UART of COM1 0
9 rx1 A running count of the characters rececived from COM1 0
10 tx1 A running count of the characters sent out to COM1 0
11 xon2 Flag to indicate that COM2 is using XON/XOFF handshaking protocol and port has received an
xoff and will wait for an xon before sending any more data.
0
12 cts2 Flag to indicate that COM2 is using CTS/RTS handshake protocol and cts line port has been
asserted. The Port will wait for the line to de-assert before sending any more data.
