Viewing Current GPS Status

GPS Status is part of the GPS Utilities provided. It allows

you to quickly check the current status of the GPS constella-

tion. It can also be used to log and playback NMEA data.

Programs>GPS Utilities>GPS Status.

Select the

tab, then

This window allows you

to monitor Signal/Noise

ratios for received satel-

lites. This information is

shown in graphical form.

The signal quality window

will grow or shrink to ac-

commodate the number of

satellites in view. The Po-

sition pane provides the

coordinates of the current

GPS position, including

elevation. The "GPS

Mode" bar displays the

type of position being calculated by the GPS receiver. There

are three groups of GPS modes that can be displayed: NO-

FIX, 2D/3D, and differential modes.

This graph shows all the

satellites currently in

view. Each satellite is

identified by its pseudo-

random number (PRN), its

azimuth and elevation an-

gles.
