NMEA GGA GST (Conditional Output) - 12

a)

Modifications will take place when certain conditions of the incoming data have failed. These conditions are user-defined.
Fields that will be modified are the quality indicator (GGA message) and the position standard deviations errors (GST message)

b)

The delayed output means that incoming messages can be outputted certain updates later. The number of updates is also a user-defined setting.

NMEA GGA GST (Conditional Output) 

Serial 

Terminated

Yes

Input 

DrvQPSTerminatedUI.exe MOD_OUTPUT PPS 

Secondary Position System:

Select your secondary system (NavPos) from the list. It will be used to collect the GPS Mode and is needed by the 'GPS Mode' Condition (see below).

Baseline Observation:

Select from the available generic observations the one that represents the baseline observation.
It will be used to collect the baseline length (distance between the two GPS antennas) and is needed by the 'Mean Baseline Sd' and/or 'Baseline Comparison' Condition (see below).

NMEA Output:

• GST + GGA
  Output the NMEA $--GST first, immediately followed by the corresponding $--GGA.
  This setting is recommended when outputting to an IXSEA LANDINS (see paragraph 'Typical Application', at the bottom of this document).

• GGA + GST
  Output the NMEA $--GGA first, immediately followed by the corresponding $--GST.
  This order is according the NMEA 0183 standard.

• [On Hold]
  Stop outputting messages. (Of course, this has no effect on the incoming messages)

NMEA GGA Height Fields:

• [Normal]
  This is the default, and means that the 'Altitude above MSL' field and the 'Geoid Separation' field of the outputted GGA message are unaltered.

• [Combined]
  The 'Altitude above MSL' field contains the MSL and 'Geoidal Separation' value together, and the 'Geoid Separation' field will be zero.

Max Age Secondary Position:

Checked: The output will be modified when the last received secondary position time is older than the maximum allowed age (default: 2 sec). Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Max Age Baseline Observation:

Checked: The output will be modified when the last received baseline observation time is older than the maximum allowed age (default: 2 sec). Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Nominal Baseline Length:

Enter the measured distance between the two GPS antennas.
This length will be used for the 'Baseline Comparison' Condition (see below).

GPS Quality Indicator:

Checked: the output will be modified when the GPS Quality Indicator of the incoming GGA message is different from the given value (default set to 4, i.e. RTK Fixed).
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Min Nr of Sats:

Checked: the output will be modified when the number of used satellites of the incoming GGA message is less than the given value (default set to 6).
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Max Age Diff.Corr.:

Checked: the output will be modified when the maximum age of differential corrections of the incoming GGA message exceeds the given value (default set to 3 sec).
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Max Height Sd:

Checked: the output will be modified when the standard deviation (1-sigma) of the altitude observation of the incoming GST message exceeds the given value (default set to 0.025 m).
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

GPS Mode:

Checked: the output will be modified when the GPS Mode of the secondary position differs from the given value (default set to 5, i.e. Fixed, 'RR').
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Mean Baseline Sd:

Checked: the output will be modified when the standard deviation (1-sigma) of the baseline length filter exceeds the given value (default set to 0.015 m). This filter keeps track of the last n baseline length observations.
See [Length Baseline Mean/Sd Filter:] (below) to set the number of n observations.
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Baseline Comparison:

Checked: the output will be modified when the (absolute) difference between the current baseline length and the nominal value exceeds the given value (default set to 0.020 m). The nominal value must be set under the Setup menu.
Unchecked: this condition will not be used.

Length Baseline Mean/Sd Filter:

Set the number of observations to use (last updates) by the baseline length filter (default 1, which also means that no standard deviation is calculated).

Notice that this value also affects the delayed output. If the incoming messages are received at 5Hz, and the length of the filter is set to 10 updates, then the outputted messages will have a delay of 2 sec. The default 1 update means that all incoming messages are outputted immediately, with no delay.

Raw Data:

The raw received ASCII data at the serial COMport. Notice that the indicator icon cycles when a complete message (GGA+GST) is received.

Primary Position (Lat Lon Height):

Latitude, longitude and height of the last received decoded position. (Notice that the used geographical format depends on the Controller's global settings).
The three values between brackets are the age of the primary position, the secondary position, and the baseline observation.
The values will be displayed in the color red when a condition has failed.
When the height value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Max Height Sd' Condition failed.

Secondary Position (Lat Lon Height):

Latitude, longitude and height of the last collected secondary position
(Notice that the used geographical format depends on the Controller's global settings).

Primary Stats: (Qty Sv Age):

Time, GPS Quality Indicator, the Number of Used Satellites and the Age of Differential Corrections of the last decoded position (GGA) are displayed.
The values will be displayed in the color red when one or more conditions have failed.
When the Qty value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'GPS Quality Indicator' Condition failed.
When the Sv value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Min Nr of Sats' Condition failed.
When the Age value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Max Age Diff.Coor.' Condition failed.

Secondary Stats (GPS Mode):

Time and the GPS Mode value of the last collected secondary position.
The values will be displayed in the color red when one or more conditions have failed.
When the time displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Max Age Secondary Position' Condition failed.
When the GPS Mode value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'GPS Mode' Condition failed.

Baseline (Length Average Sd):

Time, the Baseline observation, the mean of the baseline length filter and the standard deviation (1-sigma) of the baseline length filter.
The values will be displayed in the color red when one or more conditions have failed.
When the time displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Max Age Baseline Observation' Condition failed.
When the baseline value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Baseline Comparison' Condition failed.
When the Sd value displays an asterix '*', it means that the 'Mean Baseline Sd' Condition failed.

Show Results when Condition Change:

Every time when the user changes a condition parameter, the results menu will be invoked. Default disabled.

Lock Settings:

Enable to lock the user-interface settings of the Setup and Conditions menu, in order to prevent making changes by mistake.
A shortcut of this option can also be found in the menu under the dialogs upper-left icon.

Show Tooltips:

When hovering the mouse over the left column rows, you will get some more information. Disable if this becomes annoying...
