• Doppler Window: A value representing the uncertainty of the position solution based on
the current satellite geometry. The lower the value, the greater the confidence in the solution.
In the DOP window, DOP is displayed in the following forms:
• Console Window: This window allows the user to communicate directly to the receiver through
the serial port. It is essentially a terminal emulator with added receiver functionality. Commands
can be issued to the receiver via the command editor (at the bottom of the window) and sent by
pressing the Enter button or simply pressing <Enter> on the keyboard. The command editor has
recall functionality similar to DosKey whereby pressing the up arrow on the keyboard will move
backward through the previously issued commands and pressing the down arrow will move
forward through the previously issued commands. This allows the user to scroll through
previously issued commands and then press the <Enter> key to issue that command again.
Feedback from the receiver is displayed in the ASCII Messages or Console window depending on
the format of the message (ASCII or Abbreviated ASCII respectively).
