2.3.5.3 Manual Position Mode
If the location of the antenna is known then the Manual mode should be used. This mode uses the
information provided by the datum, latitude, longitude, and altitude parameters to fix the antenna
position at startup.
Note: This bypasses the auto positioning period and the ATS-6501 will not generate a RINEX
observation file. This mode of operation is recommended ONLY if the antenna position is
known. Once you set any of these three parameters (lat, lon, or alt) the ATS-6501 will
automatically go into manual mode.
Caution: If the operator enters the manual position incorrectly the system will indicate it is
tracking satellites in the status output, however the system may show the gps status as “not
tracking” both in the status results and the front panel. To correct this problem ensure the
position is entered correctly, if this does not work, set the unit to the auto position mode and re-
survey the antenna position.

To manually set the antenna position, use the following steps:
A. Select the proper datum (WGS84 (default) or NAD83) using the datum command.
ATS-6501>datum wgs84
[OK] 2013-08-05T15:42:42Z
B. Set the latitude for the antenna using the latitude command.
ATS-6501>latitude 38.46627893094
or
ATS-6501>latitude 38.46627893094N
Note: Default is [N]orth. If you are in the southern hemisphere make sure there is an
[S]outh after the latitude or a (-) before the latitude.
ATS-6501>latitude -38.46627893094
or
ATS-6501>latitude 38.46627893094S
