10.5 RTCM Commands The M12 Oncore accepts RTCM SC-104 Type 1 and Type 9 messages. The messages are input on the second communications port (pin 8) at a user selectable baud rate of 2400, 4800 or 9600. The RTCM messages are buffered and processed independently from the primary communications port.
Page 12
The Motorola binary commands are supported on the primary communications port at 9600 baud. The commands supported by the M12 Oncore are listed in the table below, and detailed command descriptions are provided in alphabetical order by binary command on subsequent pages.

11.1 Receiver Command Descriptions Motorola Receiver Commands may be used to initialize, configure, control and monitor the GPS receiver while using the controller software command line interface. Each mnemonic receiver command is translated to the appropriate Motorola Binary command and sent to the receiver.
