Table A-1: Helpful operating and troubleshooting information
Item Description
CORRECTION TYPE Displays the type of differential correction being used. There are
two GPS applications loaded into the receiver. SBAS is the
factory installed default, while you may select e-Dif for use
where SBAS is not available.
SATS: TRK=08
USE IN CALC=08
Tells the number of GPS satellites currently visible in the sky
(does not include correction satellites).
STDEV Pseudo-estimate of the DGPS solution accuracy determined as
the RMS value of the positional residual errors. STDEV is valid
only if 6 or more satellites are used in the solution calculation.
Typical values for SBAS correction are 0.15 m - 0.45 m (0.5 ft -
1.5 ft).
HDOP The Horizontal Dilution of Precision indicates the influence of
the current GPS satellite constellation geometry on the
horizontal accuracy of the position solution. Lower values of
HDOP indicate better geometry. Typical valves are 0.8 - 2.0.
DIFF AGE This indicates the age of the RTCM corrections used in the DGPS
calculation. Optimal operating values are < 7 sec.
BIT ERROR RATE Relative strength of the correction satellite(s). In the case of
WAAS, two numbers are shown separated by a hyphen. The
number can be from 0 to 500, with 0 being good and 500 being
bad. See page 36 for a more detailed explanation.
GPS SOFTWARE VER GPS software version.
APP SOFTWARE VER Application software version.
SERIAL NUMBER Serial number of your S-Lite. It should match the number on the
serial number tag on the back of the console.
MEMORY Amount of remaining memory (in hours). All passes are
recorded in memory until erased at the end of each field. To
clear the memory, press the STOP GUIDANCE button and
select the ERASE MEMORY menu item.
