Receiver Status & Settings

The Receiver Status & Settings page provides six different groups of information:

   Settings

   Antenna

   Heading (only with heading mode activated,internal or external)

   Computed Position

   Reference Position

   Differential Messages

 

These five groups are detailed below.

See the description of each parameter in the table below.

ELM

Heading

Displayed only if the external heading mode has been activated. Port used to route data from the external GNSS re­ceiver to your receiver.

Parameter

Designation

$PASHQ

Receiver Antenna 1

Name of the GNSS antenna connected to the coaxial connector marked with a satellite icon (located on the receiver rear panel); a case-sensitive parameter (31 characters max.)

Name of the GNSS antenna connected to the coaxial connector marked with satellite + clock icons (located on the receiver rear pan­el); a case-sensitive parameter (31 charac­ters max.)

ANP,OW2

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

Heading

This data group is shown only after a heading mode has been activated and summarizes all the current results of the heading computation (in tabular and graphic form).

 

Parameter

Designation

$PASHQ

Status

Heading measurement status:

   Fixed/Calibration

   Float/Calibration

   Fixed/Operation

Deduced from ATT (f6 and f7)

Heading

Current heading angle, in degrees.

ATT

Pitch

Current pitch angle, in degrees.

ATT

Roll

Current roll angle, in degrees.

ATT

MRMS

Carrier measurement RMS error, in meters

ATT

BRMS

Baseline RMS error, in meters

ATT

Baseline Length

Baseline length, in meters

 

 

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

Data Link Quality

A percentage describing the quality of the corrections received. The greater the better.

see DDS, d7

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 your receiver 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 your receiver 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. For a rover receiver, each message list­ed in this area includes rate and age informa­tion.
