Receiver Status & Settings
The Receiver Status & Settings page provides five different groups of information:
• Settings
• Antenna
• Computed Position
• Reference Position
• Differential Messages
These five groups are detailed below.
Settings
See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHQ |
Receiver Mode |
Tells whether the receiver is a base or a rover. |
CPD,MOD |
Moving Base |
“Yes” if the base is moving “No” if it is static. |
CPD,MOD |
Fast RTK |
Fast RTK output mode (“On” or “Off”) |
CPD,FST |
Ambiguity Fixing Parameter |
“0”, “95.0”, “99.0” or “99.9”. “0” means the receiver stays in float mode (Flying RTK) once achieved. |
CPD,AFP |
Receiver Dynamics |
“Static”, “Quasi-static”, “Walking”, “Ship”, “Automobile”, “Aircraft”, “Unlimited”, “Adaptive” or “User-defined”. |
DYN |
Position Elevation Mask |
Angle value in degrees (0-90). Relevant to the position processing in a rover. |
PEM |
Recording and Output Elevation Mask |
Angle value in degrees (0-90). Relevant to raw data recording and output. |
ELM |
Antenna
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHQ |
Receiver Antenna |
Name of the GNSS antenna connected to the receiver, a case-sensitive parameter (31 characters max.) |
ANP |
Reference Position |
Refers to the antenna reduction mode. Indicates the physical location for which the receiver computes a position. This can be the antenna phase center, the ARP (Antenna Reference Point) or the ground mark. |
ANR |
Antenna Height |
Height above the ground, in meters. |
ANH |
Measurement Type |
“Vertical” or “Slant”. “Vertical” is the general case, “Slant” is used when the GNSS antenna is mounted on a tripod. |
ANH |
Antenna Radius |
Horizontal distance, in meters, from the geometrical center to the edge of the antenna used. |
ANT |
SHMP Offset |
Antenna parameter describing the vertical offset of the Slant Height Measurement Point, measured from the ARP, in meters. |
ANT |
Virtual Antenna |
Name of the virtual antenna used, if any. “OFF” if no virtual antenna is used. |
ANP |
Computed Position
This group returns information if the receiver is a rover. See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHQ |
Position Type |
“Autonomous”, “S-DGPS”, “DGPS”, “RTK-Float” or “RTK Fixed”. |
POS |
Age of Corrections |
Age of differential corrections, in seconds. Blank for a receiver not receiving corrections. Always blank for a base. |
POS |
Coordinate System Name |
Coordinate system in which the receiver delivers its position solutions. Either “WGS 84” or as read from last RTCM-3 1021-1023 message received. |
see LCS |
Latitude Longitude Ellipsoid Height |
Latitude of computed position. Longitude of computed position. Height of computed position above ellipsoid. |
POS |
Distance to Reference Station |
Baseline length. In a base, is representative of the deviation between the entered reference position and the computed position for the base (should be a few meters max.). |
VEC |
RMS Latitude RMS Longitude RMS Height |
Standard deviation of latitude error. Standard deviation of longitude error. Standard deviation of height error. |
GST |
Reference Position
This group returns information on the base (or the base used if the receiver is a rover). See the description of each parameter in the table below.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHQ |
Station ID |
Station ID, as transmitted to the rover: • 0-1023 (RTCM 2.3) • 0-4095 (RTCM 3.x and ATOM) • 0-31 (CMR & CMR+) |
STI |
Latitude Longitude Ellipsoid Height |
Latitude of reference position. Longitude of reference position. Height of reference position above ellipsoid. |
CPD,POS |
Antenna Name |
Name of the GNSS antenna connected to the receiver, a case-sensitive parameter (31 characters max.) |
ANP |
Antenna Height |
Antenna height above reference point |
CPD,ANT |
Differential Messages
This group returns information about the differential messages processed by the receiver.
In a base, several differential messages may be made available, on different ports and with different content.
In a rover, up to two different differential messages can be received.
In either case, the following information is provided for each type of differential message.
Parameter |
Designation |
$PASHQ |
Port |
Type and number of the port used to route the differential message. |
BAS CPD,REM |
Status |
Port status, depends on the port type: • Always “On” for ports A to D. If for some reason, the port assigned to a differential message is off, then no information at all would be reported for this message. • For ports E, P and Q, there are three possible statuses: “Connected” means the connection is active, “Dialing” means the connection to the socket is in progress, “Automatic dial programmed (x s)” means the connection is not active but attempts to connect are run every x seconds (x=10 s for ports P and Q and x=50 s for port E). • For ports Ix, when used in connections where the ProFlex 500 is the server, the Status field provides the number (n) of current connections to the server: “ n connection(s)”. • For ports Ix, when used in connections where the ProFlex 500 is the client, there are several possible statuses: “Connected”, “Init in progress” or “Dialing”. |

Communication Type |
For a base, identifies the destination of the differential message. For a rover, identifies the source of the differential message. |
- |
Messages |
Detail of the differential message generated by the base, or received by the rover, on this port. |
