TCM2.5/2.6 Standard Output
The TCM2.5/2.6 standard output format may be configured to provide all of the sensor data parameters
available, or only those parameters required.
$C<compass>P<pitch>R<roll>X<Bx>Y<By>Z<Bz>T<temp>E<error
code>*checksum<cr><lf>
View the sections covering the commands:
c?
(Compass Update),
m?
(Magnetometer Update),
i?
(Inclinometer Update),
t?
(Temperature Update) for detailed information regarding the character
formatting and resolution of the values for each of the data parameters in the output word.
Example
The TCM2.5/2.6 will return the following:
$C328.3P28.4R-12.4X55.11Y12.33Z-18.43T22.3E001*checksum<cr><lf>
under the following conditions:
•
compass heading = 328.3 ° (true or magnetic, depending on configuration)
•
pitch = 28.4 °
•
roll = -12.4 °
•
Bx = 55.11µT (x-component of magnetic field)
•
By = 12.33 µT (y-component of magnetic field)
•
Bz = -18.43 µT (z-component of magnetic field)
•
Temperature = 22.3 ° (F/C depending on configuration)
•
E001 = Distortion flag is raised–magnetic anomaly nearby
Any parameters not enabled are not included in the output word.
For example:
$C328.3T22.3*checksum<cr><lf>
!
for compass and thermometer information only.
The checksum value is computed and reported identically to that for the NMEA output format.
