A Trimble Standard Interface Protocol (TSIP)
6 8 Lassen SQ GPS Receiver
A.1
Interface Scope
The Trimble Standard Interface Protocol is used extensively in
Trimble receiver designs. The protocol was originally created for the
Trimble Advanced Navigation Sensor (TANS) and is colloquially
known as the TANS protocol even though the protocol applies to many
other devices.
The Lassen SQ GPS receiver has one serial I/O communications port.
This port is a bi-directional control and data port utilizing Trimble
Standard Interface Protocol (TSIP). This port may also be used to
receive TSIP commands and to output industry standard ASCII-based
NMEA messages. The data I/O port characteristics and other options
are user programmable and can be stored in non-volatile flash
memory.
The TSIP protocol is based on the transmission of packets of
information between the user equipment and the unit. Each packet
includes an identification code (1 byte, representing 2 hexadecimal
digits) that identifies the meaning and format of the data that follows.
Each packet begins and ends with control characters.
This document describes in detail the format of the transmitted data,
the packet identification codes, and all available information over the
output channel to allow the user to choose the data required for his
particular application. As will be discussed, the receiver transmits
some of the information (position and velocity solutions, etc.)
automatically when it is available, while other information is
transmitted only on request. Additional packets may be defined for
particular products and these will be covered in the specifications for
those products as necessary.
The TSIPCHAT utility, part of the GPS Tool Kit, is designed to
exercise many of the TSIP packets.
