Satellite Data Record
The satellite data has a record ID of 0x72 with 84 (0x54) data bytes. The data bytes contain data for 12 satellites as
described below.
typedef struct
{
uint8
svid; //space vehicle identification (1–32 and 33–64 for WAAS)
uint16
snr;
//signal-to-noise ratio
uint8
elev; //satellite elevation in degrees
uint16
azmth;
//satellite azimuth in degrees
uint8
status; //status bit-field
}
cpo_sat_data;
The status bit field represents a set of booleans described below:
Bit
Meaning when bit is one (1)
0
The unit has ephemeris data for the specified satellite.
1
The unit has a differential correction for the specified satellite.
2
The unit is using this satellite in the solution.
This pattern is repeated for 12 satellites for a total of 12 X 7 bytes = 84 (0x54) bytes.
The USB Packet for the Satellite Record looks like:
- 0x14 0x00 0x00 0x00
(USB Transport ID, 1 byte unsigned, 4 bytes reserved)
- 0x72 0x00 0x00 0x00
(Record ID, 2 bytes unsigned, 4 bytes reserved)
- 0x54 0x00 0x00 0x00
(Number of data bytes, 4 bytes unsigned)
- 12 cpo_sat_data records
