Syntax

Parameters
- String
- Required. A String that specifies the text to write.
Return Type
Long
Remarks
WriteSentence is useful when you need to write a NMEA string to the AUX port. The checksum is calculated automatically by ArcPad and appended to the output string. The return value contains the number of characters actually written to AUX port. It is the script's responsibility to handle situations where less data was written out to the AUX port than was sent via the WriteSentence method.
