Fetch GPS Fix Data
:FETCh:GPS?
Description: Returns the most recent GPS fix information from the optional GPS
receiver.
The results are returned as a set of comma-delimited values in the
following format:
<fix status>, <date/time>, <latitude>, <longitude>
The <fix status> field is either “GOOD FIX” or “NO FIX”
depending on whether the GPS receiver is currently calculating position
data. If “NO FIX” is the value of the <fix status> field, then no
data follows.
The date and time (<date/time> field) are returned in the following
format:
Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy
Where Www is the weekday in letters, Mmm is the month in letters, dd
is the day of the month, hh:mm:ss is the time (24-hour time), and
yyyy is the year.
Both <latitude> and <longitude> fields are expressed in radians.
A negative latitude value corresponds to a “south” reading. A negative
longitude value corresponds to a “west” reading.
Requires Option 31.
