Description

The nmeaParser System object™ parses data from any NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) sentences. The sentences that need parsing of data can be any standard sentences compliant with the NMEA 0183® specifications (which are sent from a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) receiver), or other manufacturer-specific sentences approved by the NMEA (which are sent from other marine electronic devices).

The nmeaParser System object provides:

  • Built-in support to parse data sent from GNSS receivers and identified by these nine NMEA message types: RMC, GGA, GSA, VTG, GLL, GST, ZDA, GSV, and HDT

  • Additional configuration using the CustomSentence name-value pair to parse NMEA data from multiple device categories, including manufacturer-specific sentences from different hardware manufacturers

To parse data from NMEA sentences:

  1. Create the nmeaParser object and set its properties.

  2. Call the object with arguments, as if it were a function.

To learn more about how System objects work, see What Are System Objects?

The nmeaParser System object outputs an array of structures corresponding to the values extracted from the specified NMEA sentences.

Creation

Syntax

pnmea = nmeaParser
pnmea = nmeaParser("MessageIDs", 'msgID')
pnmea = nmeaParser("CustomSentence", {['CustomMessageId1','parserFunctionName1'],['CustomMessageId2','parserFunctionName2']})
pnmea = nmeaParser("MessageIDs", {'msgID1','msgID2'},"CustomSentence", {['CustomMessageId1','parserFunctionName1'],['CustomMessageId2','parserFunctionName2']})

Description

pnmea = nmeaParser returns a nmeaParser System object, pnmea, with default properties, that extracts data from these standard NMEA messages: RMC, GGA, and GSA. The order of structure arrays in the extracted output data is also: RMC, GGA, and GSA.

pnmea = nmeaParser("MessageIDs", 'msgID') returns a nmeaParser System object, pnmea, that extracts data from one of the nine standard NMEA messages with built-in support, specified using the Message IDs. Specify msgID as "RMC", "GGA", "GSA", "GSV", "VTG", "GLL", "GST", "ZDA", and "HDT", or a combination of these IDs (for example: ["VTG","GLL","HDT"]). The order in which you specify the Message IDs determines the order of the structure arrays in the extracted output data. The default value is ["RMC","GGA","GSA"].

example

pnmea = nmeaParser("CustomSentence", {['CustomMessageId1','parserFunctionName1'],['CustomMessageId2','parserFunctionName2']}) sets properties using the CustomSentence name-value pair and returns a nmeaParser System object, pnmea, that extracts data from any custom NMEA message (either standard NMEA message or manufacturer-specific NMEA message), specified using the message IDs.

The CustomSentence name-value pair accepts a nested cell array where each element is a pair of message ID name (either standard NMEA message ID name or manufacturer-specific message ID) and the corresponding user-defined parser function, which is created by including the extractNMEASentence function in a function file. The order in which you specify the message IDs determines the order of the structure arrays in the extracted output data.

example

pnmea = nmeaParser("MessageIDs", {'msgID1','msgID2'},"CustomSentence", {['CustomMessageId1','parserFunctionName1'],['CustomMessageId2','parserFunctionName2']}) returns a nmeaParser System object, pnmea, that extracts data from two of the nine standard NMEA messages with built-in support and also from custom NMEA messages that you specified using the CustomSentence name-value pair.

Input Arguments

expand all

Name-Value Arguments

Specify optional pairs of arguments as Name1=Value1,...,NameN=ValueN, where Name is the argument name and Value is the corresponding value. Name-value arguments must appear after other arguments, but the order of the pairs does not matter.

Before R2021a, use commas to separate each name and value, and enclose Name in quotes.

Example: pnmea = nmeaParser("CustomSentence", {['CustomMessageId1','parserFunctionName1'],['CustomMessageId2','parserFunctionName2']});

Specify the message ID of any NMEA sentence from which you want to extract data and the name of the parser function. You can specify multiple message IDs and parser functions as a cell array of character vectors. The parser function is defined in a function file, which can optionally include the extractNMEASentence function.

Note

The function file for the parser function must be present in the current directory or on MATLAB path.

CustomSentence accepts function name or function handle. For example, both these formats are valid:

  • pnmea = nmeaParser('CustomSentence', {['standardnmeaMessageId1','parserFunctionName1']}
  • parserFunctionHandle=@parserFunctionName1
pnmea = nmeaParser('CustomSentence', {['standardnmeaMessageId1',parserFunctionHandle]}

Note

Using CustomSentence name-value pair to parse data instead of the built-in parser function results in override of the default fields when data is parsed. For example, nmeaParser('CustomSentence',{["RMC","parserRMC"]}) overrides the default format of parsed data as RMC is one of the nine sentences with built-in support for parsing data.

Data Types: char | string

Properties

expand all

Unless otherwise indicated, properties are nontunable, which means you cannot change their values after calling the object. Objects lock when you call them, and the release function unlocks them.

If a property is tunable, you can change its value at any time.

For more information on changing property values, see System Design in MATLAB Using System Objects.

Message IDs of nine NMEA sentences with built-in support, which are compliant with the NMEA 0183 Standard, from which you want to extract data. You can specify multiple message IDs as an array of strings to extract data from NMEA sentences.

Data Types: char | string

Usage

Syntax

[rmcData,ggaData,gsaData,vtgData,gllData,gstData,gsvData,zdaData,hdtData] = pnmea(rawData)
[customNmeaData1,customNmeaData2] = pnmea(rawData)

Description

[rmcData,ggaData,gsaData,vtgData,gllData,gstData,gsvData,zdaData,hdtData] = pnmea(rawData) parses data from nine standard NMEA sentences with built-in support, and returns an array of structures, where each structure corresponds to a single Message ID. The sequence that you specify for the output arguments must be the same sequence that you specified for the Message IDs when creating the nmeaParser System object.

example

[customNmeaData1,customNmeaData2] = pnmea(rawData) parses data from two custom NMEA sentences (either standard NMEA sentence or manufacturer-specific NMEA sentence), and returns an array of structures, where each structure corresponds to a single Message ID. The sequence that you specify for the output arguments must be the same sequence that you specified in the CustomSentence name-value pair when creating the nmeaParser System object.

Create a string array to include the three sentences

rawNMEAData = [unparsedGGALine ,newline,  unparsedGSALine ,newline,  unparsedRMCLine]
rawNMEAData = 
    '$GPGGA,111357.771,5231.364,N,01324.240,E,1,12,1.0,0.0,M,0.0,M,,*69

Open Live Script
You can extract data from any NMEA sentence using the CustomSentence name-value pair. The NMEA data to be parsed is obtained from marine electronic devices.
Identify the Structure of NMEA Sentence and Create the Parser Function
You need to identify the structure of the NMEA sentence, as defined in the specification, and use that information to define the structure of output data to be used in the nmeaParser System object.
For example, let us consider an example sentence with Message ID, SSS. 
sss-sample1.png
After identifying the structure, you create a function file that defines the parser function, fsssParser. In the function file, you define the output data as a structure array with its fields matching the sequence as it appears in the specification.
The Navigation Toolbox™ provides an optional pre-configured function, extractNMEASentence, that checks if the sentence is valid and convert the fields in the sentence into string array. You can call  extractNMEASentence inside the function file. You can also use any other function instead (which outputs a string array from unparsed data), and then call it inside the function file.
The below image shows the function file with the code, with the assumption that the fields available in SSS sentence are TalkerID, MessageID, UTC, and LatitudeError. Refer the additional comments for details.
fsssparser-example1.png
In the above sample file, you define the mapping between the fields in the structure array and the elements of string array. For certain fields (for example, UTC time), you may need to define a character array to map the fields.
After you include the MATLAB code as mentioned above, save the function file (fsssParser.m) in the MATLAB path, so that you can call it to obtain parsed data using the CustomSentence name-value pair of nmeaParser System object.
To download another sample function file parserRMB.m that is used this example, click Open Live Script. This is a function file specific to the fields of an RMB sentence (mentioned in NMEA Standard, Version 4.1). 
Extract Data from RMB Sentence
Create an nmeaParser System Object by using the CustomSentence name-value pair and specifying the message ID as "RMB" and the function as "parserRMB" (downloaded in the previous step).
pnmea = nmeaParser("CustomSentence",{["RMB","parserRMB"]});
Provide the RMB sentence obtained from the GNSS receiver as the input and extract data.

  1. Identify Structure of Manufacturer-specific Sentence and Create Function File with
            Parser Function
    The structure of NMEA sentence to be parsed is available in the specification of the
            device from the manufacturer. You need to identify the structure and use the information
            to define the structure of output data to be used in the nmeaParser System
            object.
    For example, the structure of the NMEA sentence from a hardware manufacturer may
            look like this:
    $PMMCZ,hhmmss.ss,Latitude,N,Longitude,E,NavSatellite,DR*hh<CR><LF>
    Here, P denotes that the sentence is manufacturer-specific, MMC is the manufacturer
            mnemonic code, and Z is the sentence type. Each field thereafter indicates a specific
            data (position, velocity, time, and so on). Some manufacturers use two characters for
            the sentence type, followed by the data fields.
    After identifying the structure, create the parser function,
              parserMMCZ, using the optional
              extractNMEASentence function, as shown below (you can also use
            other functions to extract the unparsed data to strings, instead of
              extractNMEASentence).
    function OutputData = parserMMCZ(unparsedData, MessageID)
 
  OutputData = struct("MessageID",MessageID,...
  "UTC","NA",...
  "Latitude",NaN,...
  "Longitude",NaN,...
  "NavigationSatellites",NaN,...
  "Status",uint8(1));
 
  [isValid, splitString] = extractNMEASentence(unparsedData, MessageID);
  
if(isValid)
    OutputData.MessageID = splitString(1);
    temp = char(splitString(2));
    utcOutput = [temp(1:2), ':', temp(3:4), ':', temp(5:6)];
    OutputData.UTC = utcOutput;
    OutputData.Latitude = str2double(splitString{3});
    OutputData.Longitude = str2double(splitString{5});
    OutputData.NavigationSatellites = str2double(splitString{7});
    OutputData.Status = uint8(0);
  end
end
    Save parserMMCZ.m in the MATLAB path.
  2. Extract Data from Manufacturer-specific Sentence
    Create an nmeaParser System Object by using the
              CustomSentence name-value pair and specifying the message ID as
            "MMCZ" and the function as "parserMMCZ" (created in the previous
            step).
    pnmea = nmeaParser("CustomSentence",{["MMCZ","parserMMCZ"]});
    Provide an MMC sentence obtained from the device as the input and extract
            data:
    unparsedMMCLine='$PMMCZ,225444,4917.24,N,00046.34,E,3,DR*7C';
mmcData = pnmea(unparsedMMCLine)
    mmcData = 

  struct with fields:

               MessageID: "MMCZ"
                     UTC: '22:54:44'
                Latitude: 4.9172e+03
               Longitude: 46.3400
    NavigationSatellites: 3
                  Status: 0
