Description of the parameters follows:
GPSArray
The
GPSArray
parameter is the variable in which to store the
information returned by the GPS. Fifteen values are returned. If
this array is not dimensioned to 15, values will be stored to fill the
array and no error will be returned. If no values are available,
NAN will be returned. The following values are returned by the
GPS:
Array(1) = Latitude, degrees
Array(2) = Latitude, minutes
Array(3) = Longitude, degrees
Array(4) = Longitude, minutes
Array(5) = Speed over ground, knots
Array(6) = Course over ground, degrees
Array(7) = Magnetic variation (positive = East, negative =
West)
Array(8) = Fix Quality (0 = invalid, 1 = GPS, 2 = differential
GPS, 6 = estimated)
Array(9) = Number of Satellites
Array(10) = Altitude, metres
Array(11) = Pulse per second (PPS) length, microseconds
Array(12) = Seconds since last GPRMC sentence
Array(13) = GPS Ready, 10 = ready
Array(14) = Maximum clock change, milliseconds (10 msec
resolution)
Array(15) = Clock change count
ComPort
The
ComPort
parameter is the control port pair to which the GPS
device is attached. Valid options are COM1 (C1/C2), COM2
(C3/C4), COM3 (C5/C6), and COM4 (C7/C8). Rx is used to read
in the NMEA sentences and Tx is used to monitor the PPS from
the GPS. This instruction defaults to a baud rate of 38,400 bps. If
a different baud rate is required, use the
SetStatus()
instruction to
override the default.
TimeOffset
The
TimeOffset
parameter is the local time offset, in seconds,
from UTC.
MaxTimeDiff
The
MaxTimeDiff
parameter is the maximum difference in time
between the datalogger clock and the GPS clock that will be
tolerated before the clock is changed. If a negative value is
entered, the clock will not be changed.
For dataloggers prior to hardware revision 08, the
MaxTimeDiff
parameter should not be set to 0. A minimum value of 20 ms is
recommended. With this hardware, when a
GPS()
instruction is
in the program the clock is checked each second (regardless of
how often the
GPS()
instruction is run). The clock is set if any
difference is found. This can result in the clock being set each
second, resulting in skipped records in the data table(s). This
restriction does not apply to hardware revisions 08 or greater.
