Refer to Tilt Compensation on page 18 and Tilt Compensation on page 32 for setup instructions.
Host Description Command Format Tilt Sensor Response

Sensor Height
To set the GNSS sensor height in feet and
inches:
$PMDT,u,,ff,ii*cksum <cr><lf>
Example: To set the GNSS sensor height to
12 ft 6 in, the command is:
$PMDT,u,,12,6*4D
Note : Feet and inches are entered as
integers. You can enter feet and inches, but
not feet, inches and metres.
Response to the “u” command:
$PMDT,<,GNSS sensor height
(inches):nnnnn <cr><lf>
where nnnnn is a five digit integer, sensor
height in inches.
In this example, the Tilt Sensor response is:
$PMDT,<,GNSS sensor height (inches):
00150
To set the GNSS sensor height in metres:
$PMDT,u,,,,mmm.mmm*cksum <cr><lf>
Example: To set the GNSS sensor height to
3.5 metres, the command is:
$PMDT,u,,,,3.5*7C
Response to the ”u” command:
$PMDT,<,GNSS sensor height
(inches):nnnnn <cr><lf>
where nnnnn is a five digit integer, sensor
height in inches.
In this example, the Tilt Sensor response is:
$PMDT,<,GNSS sensor height (inches):
00137
l Set Field Level $PMDT,l*cksum <cr><lf>
Example:
$PMDT,l*4D
Response to the “ l” command:
$PMDT,<,Level state set <cr><lf>
Example:
$PMDT,<,Level state set
x Update Flash
Values
To update flash values (needs to follow any
height or level command that is not done
each time you power up):
$PMDT,x*cksum <cr><lf>
Example: $PMDT,x*59
Note : The command
$PMDT,x*59
must
be used to save the $PMDT settings to
memory. The SAVECONFIG does not save
$PMDT settings.
Response to the “x” command:
$PMDT,<,Flash updated <cr><lf>
Example:
$PMDT,<,Flash updated
a. If all fields in the u command are zero or null, the current height is transmitted without change (with the format shown
above). Use the following command to return the current settings:
$PMDT,u*54
.
b. If an invalid entry is received (>500 inches), the response is:
$PMDT,<Max legal height exceeded: nnnnn and will be ignored
For example, if you enter 42 ft 6 in, you will get the following response:
$PMDT,<,Max legal height exceeded: 00510 and will be ignored
$PMDT,<,GPS sensor height (inches): 00150
