Chapter 3 Using the Receiver Status Screen
Using and Reading the Receiver Status Screen
User Guide 3-5
An accurate position is necessary to derive precise time from GPS. The
Position quadrant indicates that the Receiver is in survey mode, which
uses GPS to determine the position of the GPS antenna. This process
has not yet started, since position calculations can be performed only
while tracking four or more satellites. INIT LAT, INIT LON, and INIT
HGT are the initial estimate of the true position. These coordinates are
refined by the survey process. The Receiver uses this position and the
time-of-day to select satellites to track. Therefore, you can reduce
satellite acquisition time by specifying an close approximation of
position and time.
Now, let’s send the :SYSTEM:STATUS? query again to see what kind
of progress the Receiver has made.
You can now see that the Receiver is tracking several satellites as
shown in Figure 3-2. The process of acquiring and tracking satellites is
described in the following paragraphs.
