Description
3 Format time fields. The data field should be time in the format HHMMSS[.s...s]. Using this
format option on other types of data will produce incorrect results.
The format mode can be used without optional parameters to display the time HH:MM:SS[.s...s]
with the same number of decimal places as the GPS provided.
The command supports optional parameter A to specify a number of decimal places between 0
and 3 to display for seconds. If the GPS data field does not contain enough decimal places,
zeros will be added. The command syntax is CCmmFnnM3Ad, where d is the number of
decimal places to display for seconds.
For example CC01F01M3A1 copies time to Graphic Field 01 with 1 decimal place for seconds.
The command supports optional parameter B to specify conversion to 12 hour clock format.
The syntax is CCmmFnnM3Bb.
Parameter b specifies the 12 hour format:
0 - 12 hour with no am / pm indication
1 -
12 hour clock and append “ am” or “ pm”
2 -
12 hour clock and append “ a.m.” or “ p.m.”
3 - 12 hour cloc
k and append “a” or “p”
For example CC01F01M3B2 copies the time to Graphic Field 1 with 1 decimal place and
converts the time to 12 hour format with “ a.m.” or “ p.m.” appended.
Note: Both the A and B parameters can be combined in the same command.

Format time fields for HH:MM display (no seconds). The data field should be in the format
HHMMSS[.s…s]. Using this format option on other types of data will produce incorrect results.
The command syntax is CCmmFnnM4[Bd], where d specified 12 hour clock format as
described in format mode 3 above. Optional parameter A cannot be used in this format mode.
For example CC01F01M4 formats the time as HH:MM, and the command CC01F01M4B0
formats the time as HH:MM with the time converted to 12 hour format and no am / pm
indication.
5
Copy a substring from the GPS data field to the Graphic Field.
The syntax is CCmmFnnM5AfffBnnn where both parameters A and B are mandatory and fff
specifies an offset into the GPS data field to start the copy, and nnn specifies a maximum
number of characters to copy.
For example, the command CC01F01M5A0B2 copies the two digit hours from the UTC time of
position fix data and places them in Graphic Field 01.
Note : This command is not useful for GPS data fields that have variable format.
6
For
mat the GPS data for degrees and minutes display, for example 081° 15.9300’. This format
mode should be used on GPS data fields that have a format of [d]ddmm.mm[m..m]
The syntax is CCmmFnnM6[Afff][Bddd][Cc] where:
•
Optional parameter A specifies an additional field number containing a hemisphere
indicator such as ‘N’, ‘S’, ‘W’, or ‘E’. The first character of the specified field is copied
into the Graphic Field following the degrees and minutes.
•
Optional parameter B specifies a maximum number of decimal places that should be
shown for minutes. If the GPS data does not include the requested number of decimal
places, they will not be displayed.
•
Optional parameter C specified to suppress leading zeros of the degrees field. C0
drops the leading zeros. C1 converts leading zeros to spaces.
For example, to set Graphic Field 01 to contain Latitude with the hemisphere indicator, use the
command CC01F03M6A4
