Item
Description
Correction Type
Type of differential correction being used. RANGER supports two corrections types: SBAS
(default) and e-Dif. Use e-Dif when/where SBAS is unavailable.
Sats
Number of GPS satellites currently visible in the sky (does not include correction satellites).
• Trk = number of satellites RANGER is tracking
• Use In Calc = number of tracked satellites used in the position calculation
STDEV
Pseudo-estimate of the DGPS solution accuracy determined as the RMS value of the
positional residual errors. STDEV is valid only if six or more satellites are used in the solution
calculation. Typical values for SBAS correction are 0.15 m - 0.45 m (0.5 ft - 1.5 ft).
HDOP
(Horizontal Dilution of Precision) Indicates the influence of the current GPS satellite
constellation geometry on the horizontal accuracy of the position solution. Lower values of
HDOP indicate better geometry. Typical valves are 0.8 - 2.0.
Diff Age
Age (in seconds) of the DGPS corrections calculation. Optimal operating values are < 7 sec.
Bit Error Rate
(Available only when SBAS is the correction type) Often abbreviated as BER, the bit error
rate is the relative strength of the correction satellites. Two numbers are shown separated by
a hyphen, where each number ranges from 0 to 500 with 0 being the best and 500 the worst.
If BER > 20 verify the antenna has a clear view of the sky to properly find and track
correction satellites.
GPS Software
GPS software version.
