This driver supports all compatible receivers such as the 6-channel MX4200, MX4200D, and the 12-channel MX9212, MX9012R, MX9112.</p> 23: <p><a href="http://www.leica-gps.com/"><img src="../pic/9400n.jpg" alt="Leica MX9400N Navigator" height="143" width="180" align="left"></a> <a href="http://www.leica-gps.com/">Leica Geosystems</a> acquired the Magnavox commercial GPS technology business in February of 1994. They now market and support former Magnavox GPS products such as the MX4200 and its successors.</p> 24: <br clear="LEFT"> 25: <p>Leica MX9400N Navigator.</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>. 42: <dt><tt>flag1 0 | 1</tt> 43: <dd>Not used by this driver. 44: <dt><tt>flag2 0 | 1</tt> 45: <dd>Assume GPS receiver is on a mobile platform if set. 46: <dt><tt>flag3 0 | 1</tt> 47: <dd>Not used by this driver. 48: <dt><tt>flag4 0 | 1</tt> 49: <dd>Not used by this driver. 50: </dl> 51: <h4>Additional Information</h4> 52: <p><a href="../refclock.html">Reference Clock Drivers</a> </p> 53: <hr> 54: <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" src="scripts/footer.txt"></script> 55: </body> 56: 57: </html>
