$TCF7,C710CE2CD548DC64 

 

5.2.11 

$PATC,IIHDG,RHD,nn<CR><LF> 

Internal filter response 

Where nn is the damping value within the range 0 to 99 

5.2.12 

$PATC,IIHDG,RHO<CR><LF> 

 

$PATC,IIHDG,RHO,nnn.n<CR><LF> 

 

Where nnn.n is the heading offset

 Note 

that leading zeros are suppressed  

eg 0.0 

5.2.13 

$PATC,IIHDG,RID<CR><LF> 

Request the  serial number: 

 A special proprietary reply sentence follows: 

 

$PATC,IIHDG,RID,ssss<CR><LF>

 

 where ssss is the serial number in 

ASCII decimal. 

 

5.2.14 

 

 

 

$SR <CR><LF>

  

     

 

 Read device firmware release 

 A typical response from a unit is as follows: 

$SR,A5024,016,02<CR><LF> 

 showing the release is 016.
