Chapter 13 Specifications
The PW9005 GPS Box can be connected to the instrument to synchronize the instrument’s time
with the GPS satellite time (coordinated universal time).
13.5 GPS Time Synchronization Function
GPS settings and status display function
GPS box connection setting RS connected device: GPS
GPS reception status display Positioning status : Err (no positioning data), 2D (2D independent positioning), 3D (3D in-
dependent positioning), D2D (differential 2D positioning), D3D (differ-
ential 3D positioning)
No. of positioning satellites : 0 to 12 (no. of satellit
es that can be used in position calculation)
DOP value : 0 to 9999 (GPS positioning status reliability) (smaller values other
than 0 indicate higher reliability)
GPS mark A GPS mark is displayed among other icons along the top of the screen to indicate the GPS posi-
tioning status.
Blue GPS mark : Time correction has been performed.
Yellow GPS mark : The device is unable to acquire GPS sate
llites or unable to calculate its posi-
tion. The yellow mark is also shown w
hen time correction is canceled during
recording.
Red GPS mark : The PQ3198 has not detected the GPS box.
Time correction function
Corrected time and correction
accuracy
Set to amount of variation from universal coordinated time (UTC).
The instrument’s clock is corrected within ±2 ms of the GPS time accuracy.
Initial position 1. The GPS mark is yellow after connecting the model PW9005 GPS Box to the instrument.
2. The GPS mark turns blue after the unit has acquired GPS satellites and positioning status and
finished correcting the instrument time.
Time correction processing • Time correction is performed once every 1 s (during recording, once every 30 s).
• If the time variation is 16 ms or less during recording, time correction is performed every second
with ms-order precision. If the time variation is greater than 16 ms, a "GPS Err event" occurs,
and time correction is not performed.
GPS event function When recording is started in the time-corrected state (while the GPS mark is blue), a GPS event
is generated when any of the following occur during recording:
• GPS error (GPS error): GPS IN
• GPS error cleared (GPS positioning): GPS OUT
• GPS time correction failure (GPS ti
me error): GPS Err
