4.3.12 GPS Signal Status

The

GPS Signal Status

command

, GSS

, lists the parameters used in qualifying the

received GPS signal. This command is useful in verifying proper antenna placement
and receiver performance in an installation.

The

GSS

response provides overall tracking and mode status, as well as a table

containing individual satellite date.

Issue the

GPS Signal Status

command as shown below:

Type:

GSS<ent>

-OR-

DSS<ent>

-OR-

SS<ent>

An example response is shown below:
