Receiver Commands
Example
To activate the user-defined datum for position computations and measurements,
enter the following command after defining datum parameters with the UDD
command:
$PASHS,DTM,USR
After the user-defined datum is activated, the receiver internally transforms
positions from the reference datum (WGS-84) to the user-defined datum. In
standard text books, however, the datum transformations are given from local
datums to WGS-84. To simplify the entering of the transformation parameters, the
translation, rotation, and scale parameters are defined from the local datum to
WGS-84.
The generic formula used to translate and rotate from coordinate system 1 to
coordinate system 2:
e
rx
=
e
x
expressed in radians (this also applies to e
ry
and e
rz
).
f3 Inverse flattening. 1/f3 = f2/(f2-b), where b
is semi-minor axis

Rotations from the local datum to WGS-
84. Viewed from the positive end of the
axis about which the rotation takes place,
the positive rotation is counterclockwise;
the negative rotation is clockwise
