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.
