A TRIMBLE STANDARD INTERFACE PROTOCOL (TSIP)
134 Copernicus GPS Receiver
Command Packet 0x24 - Request GPS Receiver Position Fix Mode
This packet requests current position fix mode of the GPS receiver. This packet
contains no data. The GPS receiver returns Packet
0x6D.
Command Packet 0x25 - Initiate Soft Reset & Self Test
This packet commands the GPS receiver to perform a software reset. The GPS
receiver performs a self-test as part of the reset operation. This packet contains no
data. Following completion of the reset, the receiver will output the start-up messages
(see Table A.4). The GPS receiver sends Packet
0x45 only on power-up and reset (or
on request); thus if Packet
0x45 appears unrequested, then either the GPS receiver
power was cycled or the GPS receiver was reset.
Command Packet 0x26 - Request Health
This packet requests health and status information from the GPS receiver. This packet
contains no data. The GPS receiver returns Packet
0x46 and 0x4B.
Command Packet 0x27 - Request Signal Levels
This packet requests signal levels for all satellites currently being tracked. This packet
contains no data. The GPS receiver returns
Packet
0x47.
Command Packet 0x2B - Initial Position (Latitude, Longitude, Altitude)
This packet provides the GPS receiver with an approximate initial position in latitude
and longitude coordinates (WGS-84). This packet is useful if the user has moved
more than about 1,000 miles since the previous fix. (Note that the GPS receiver can
initialize itself without any data from the user; this packet merely reduces the time
required for initialization.) This packet is ignored if the receiver is already
calculating positions. The data format is shown in the table below.
Note – To initialize with ECEF position, use Command Packet 0x23.
