# This file is Copyright (c) 2010 by the GPSD project
# SPDX-License-Identifier: BSD-2-clause
#
# Our apologies to all Unix hackers in advance for the grubby .INI syntax,
# we're using it because the format has good cross-Unix support in Python.
#
# Each section may have the following capabilities
#
# type = "engine", "vendor", or "device"
# date = date of submission
# submitter = email of submitter, name may need quoting for RFC822
# description = Human-readable description of this item
# packaging = A device's form factor
# techdoc = URL to technical documentation, or at least a spec sheet
# vendor_site = URL of a vendor site
# vendor = vendor name
# eval_unit = Which GPSD devs have one for testing (list)
# engine = GPS chipset (may reference another section)
# subtype = engine subtype or firmware revision level
# interfaces = interface types: USB, RS-232, Bluetooth, CF, TTL, CAN.
# May be a list.
# usbchip = USB I/O chipset
# pps = supports pulse-per-second precision time reporting
# pps_accuracy = claimed PPS accuracy
# time_offset = NTP offset
# configurable = can the device be bricked by speed changes?
# tested = last gpsd tested, or "regression" if we have a test load
# nmea = NMEA version this emits, if known
# notes = Miscellaneous notes on this item. To be interpreted as HTML
# rating = excellent, good, fair, poor, broken, other
# discontinued = If True, product has been discontinued
#
# Capability strings:
#
# to_nmea = if present, how to switch to NMEA 0183 mode from native binary
# to_native = if present, how to swith to native binary mode from NMEA
# modeset = set protocol, baud rate, 8N1
#
# Inheritance
#
# To inherit capabilities from a specified section, name the section in
# a "uses =" attribute. Use chains are followed recursively. An attribute
# in a section overrides all attributes of the same name in all ancestor
# sections.
#
# Certain escapes in capability strings are translated:
#
# %b - baud rate as ASCII numeral
#
# A string beginning with 0x is interpreted as a sequence of paired hex bytes,
# leading 0x not included.
#
# Comment lines led with "#%" are vendor section marks to be used when
# generating an HTML table from this file. Each should consist of a vendor
# name.
#
# Further notes:
# * In the packaging feld, a "GPS mouse" is a standalone sensor in a
# display-less case designed be used as an outbard peripheral. An
# "OEM module" is an un-cased circuit board with edge connectors; a
# "chipset" is what it sounds like.
# A "handset" is a standalone GPS with a display and human-usable
# controls. A "handsfree" is a hands-free unit with display designed for
# mounting on a car windshield or boat dash.
# * In the rating field:
# "excellent" - gpsd recognizes the GPS rapidly and reliably,
# reports are complete and correct.
# "good" -- gpsd has minor problems or lag recognizing the device,
# but reports are complete and correct.
# "fair" -- Reports have minor dropouts or problems, including occasional
# transient nonsense values.
# "poor" -- Reports frequently have values that are wrong or nonsense.
# "broken" -- gpsd frequently fails to recognize the device at all.
# "other -- See Technical Notes.
#
# Chipsets (alphabetical)

notes = Sends 'E' in second field of GSA record, not an NMEA value.
Actually sends '6' in the GGA rating record for dead-reckoning fixes.
(This behavior reported on the 4H chipset.)

tested = 2.39
notes = Spec sheet says it emits GSV, AVR, RMC, HDT, VGK, VHD, GGLK, GGA, GSA,
ZDA, VTG, GST, and PIT in NMEA mode. Many of these are nonstandard.
Also says: "JK and Binary: Trimble GSOF". Other web sources say
it has RTK capability.

ship with serious bugs that cause bogus fixes or hard crashes.

technical-documentation link describes the 3329, but we think the 3301
is compatible for GPSD purposes.
[Nemerix]
type = engine
engine = Nemerix
nmea = 3.01
rating = good
notes = NemeriX has gone into liquidation as of Jan 2009). It's funny, they
didn't understand why they should give me an unencumbered protocol
techdoc.
