15: <h4>Synopsis</h4>
16: Address: 127.127.9.<i>u</i><br>
17: Reference ID: <tt>GPS</tt><br>
18: Driver ID: <tt>GPS_MX4200</tt><br>
19: Serial Port: <tt>/dev/gps<i>u</i></tt>; 4800 baud, 8-bits, no parity<br>
20: Features: <tt>ppsclock</tt> (required)
21: <h4>Description</h4>
22: <p>This driver supports the Magnavox MX4200 Navigation Receiver adapted to precision timing applications. This driver supports all compatible receivers such as the 6-channel MX4200, MX4200D, and the 12-channel MX9212, MX9012R, MX9112.</p>

They now market and support former Magnavox GPS products such as the MX4200 and its successors.</p>

26: <h4>Operating Modes</h4>
27: <p>This driver supports two modes of operation, static and mobile, controlled by clock flag 2.</p>
28: <p>In static mode (the default) the driver assumes that the GPS antenna is in a fixed location. The receiver is initially placed in a "Static, 3D Nav" mode, where latitude, longitude, elevation and time are calculated for a fixed station. An average position is calculated from this data. After 24 hours, the receiver is placed into a "Known Position" mode, initialized with the calculated position, and then solves only for time.</p>
29: <p>In mobile mode, the driver assumes the GPS antenna is mounted on a moving platform such as a car, ship, or aircraft. The receiver is placed in "Dynamic, 3D Nav" mode and solves for position, altitude and time while moving. No position averaging is performed.</p>
30: <h4>Monitor Data</h4>
31: <p>The driver writes each timecode as received to the <tt>clockstats</tt> file. Documentation for the <cite>NMEA-0183</cite> proprietary sentences produced by the MX4200 can be found in <a href="mx4200data.html">MX4200 Receiver Data Format</a>.</p>
32: <h4>Fudge Factors</h4>
33: <dl>
34: <dt><tt>time1 <i>time</i></tt>
35: <dd>Specifies the time offset calibration factor, in seconds and fraction, with default 0.0.
36: <dt><tt>time2 <i>time</i></tt>
37: <dd>Not used by this driver.
38: <dt><tt>stratum <i>number</i></tt>
39: <dd>Specifies the driver stratum, in decimal from 0 to 15, with default 0.
40: <dt><tt>refid <i>string</i></tt>
41: <dd>Specifies the driver reference identifier, an ASCII string from one to four characters, with default <tt>GPS</tt>.
