Do the ION Meters support the NMEA protocol for GPS synchronization?

Issue
Do the ION Meters support the NMEA protocol for GPS synchronization?

Product Line
ION 7550

ION 7650

ION 8600

ION 8650

ION 9000

Environment
ION meter time synchronization

Cause
ION meters do not support interfacing with marine electronics devices

Resolution
The NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) issues standards for interfacing marine electronics devices, such as GPS receivers.
Unfortunately, ION meters do not support this protocol. The only GPS protocols available on the ION Meters (7550, 7650, 8600, 8650) are:
- GPS Arbiter
- GPS Truetime/Datum
- GPS Arbiter-Vorne

The ION86XX series also support IRIG-B, which is another protocol for time synchronization.
