Ephemeris Download Procedure

The following is the sequence of events that occurs when downloading ephemeris.
Send a packet containing the command that requests ephemeris data (IOP_DOWN_LOAD_EPH). The
packet should look like this:

TX Packet: Ephemeris Data Request

Byte Description
Delimiter
Command Data ID
Number of bytes in data
Request to D/L ephemeris
Pad to 2 bytes
Checksum calculation
Delimiter
End
* From now on, checksum calculation will not be shown for every packet example
The unit will return an acknowledgement packet that will look like this:

RX Packet: Acknowledgement

Byte Description
Delimiter
Acknowledgement ID
Number of bytes in data
Request to D/L ephemeris
Pad
Checksum calculation
Delimiter
End of packet
Then, the unit will immediately send a packet communicating how many data packets to expect for the
ephemeris download (a maximum of twelve):

RX Packet: Number of Data Packets to Expect

Byte Description
Delimiter
Record ID
Number of bytes in data
Number of records
Pad
Checksum calculation
Delimiter
End of packet
This packet requires acknowledgement, as shown below (note that the data field contains the
IOP_RECORDS ID to indicate the acknowledgement of the IOP_RECORDS packet):

TX Packet: Acknowledgement

Byte Description
Delimiter
Record ID
Number of bytes in data
Pad
ID of packet being ACK'd
Checksum calculation
Delimiter
End of packet
