GPS
Several GPS and DGPS screens are available under the
GPS function key. The GPS/DGPS functions are highly
interactive with these CFG1 menu selections:
GPS • - sets the lowest elevation at which a satellite will
be tracked.
DGPS • - sets the internal beacon receiver to Auto,
DGPS only, or Off.
GPS1 - GPS Status Screen
There are two windows in this display. The left window
has twelve graphic Power Bars representing the twelve
GPS receiver channels of the MX421 antenna. The PRN
(PseudoRandom Number) under each power bar repre-
sents the satellite ID number assigned or being tracked
on that channel. The power bars indicate the valid
receiver power range from 30 to 50. Any portion of the
power bar which is filled in, indicates that a satellite is
being tracked on that channel. If a power bar is empty,
but a PRN number is labeled under the power bar, then
the identified satellite is not currently being tracked.
The graphic on the right hand side of the screen indicates
where the satellites are relative to your present posi-
tion. The outer ring represents 0° elevation. The inner
ring represents 45° elevation. The + sign represents 90°
elevation and your present position. Under normal condi-
tions, the best satellites to track are usually between 15
and 75 degrees in elevation.
GPS 3 through GPS 4 screens are skipped under normal
operation.
