and Data Formats
3-16
Binary Data Formats
The PCS outputs attitude data using any of the following output string formats (any number of COM ports
can be independently configured for Binary output):
1. TSS1
format
2. Simrad 1000 format using Tait-Bryan or TSS angles
3. Simrad 3000 format using Tait-Bryan or TSS angles
4. TSM 5265 format using Tait-Bryan or TSS angles
5. Atlas
format
6. PPS
format
7. Time of PPS format (copy of Novatel TM1B)
Output String Formats
The following descriptions include the update rate for each output format. To achieve these update rates,
you must set an appropriate communication speed for the COM port.
Note
:
System performance may degrade if multiple ports are configured for high rate output
simultaneously.
Information supplied through the COM port is valid for the point described by the sensor 1 or sensor 2
lever arms and mounting angles, as selected by the user.
TSS1 Format
Format TSS1 consists of five fields and contains 27 ASCII characters. Each record begins with a
start character and ends with the two-character carriage-return line-feed sequence. All fields
contain measurements in real-world units; POS MV supplies acceleration measurements in
ASCII coded hexadecimal values and heave, roll and pitch as ASCII coded decimal values. You
can use the MV-POSView Controller program to change the sense of the roll, pitch and heave
outputs. POS MV supplies information in the following format.
