USING GPSOLUTION
GPSolution provides access to key information about your
receiver and its position. The information is displayed in windows
accessed from the View menu. For example, select Position
Window from the View menu to display the position of the
receiver. To show details of the GPS and geostationary (SBAS)
satellites being tracked, select Tracking Status Window from the
menu.
DETERMINING WHEN THE POSITION IS VALID
When the receiver has a valid position, the Solution Status field
in GPSolution’s Position window will show Computed.
ENTERING COMMANDS
The FlexPak-G2L uses a comprehensive command interface.
Commands can be sent to the receiver using the Console
window in GPSolution, which is opened from the View menu.
Commands are entered in the text box at the bottom of the
window.
The following information is important when entering commands:
• Commands can be entered in three formats: ASCII,
Abbreviated ASCII, and Binary. Abbreviated ASCII is the
best format to use when you wish to work with the
receiver directly.
•Press the Enter key to send the command string to the
receiver.
• The commands are not case sensitive.
The OEM4 Family Quick Reference Guide provided with the
receiver lists all the available commands and the parameters
they use for the Abbreviated ASCII format.
ENABLING SBAS POSITIONING
Certain models of the FlexPak-G2L are also capable of SBAS
positioning. This positioning mode is enabled using the SBAS-
CONTROL command. At the time of publication, the WAAS (North
America) and EGNOS (Europe) systems are in test mode. As a
result, the following commands are typically used to enable
WAAS and EGNOS modes, respectively:
SBASCONTROL ENABLE WAAS 0 ZEROTOTWO
SBASCONTROL ENABLE EGNOS 120 ZEROTOTWO
Once enabled, the Position Type field shown in GPSolution’s
Position window should change from Single to WAAS.
