Establishing Position ___________________________
(continued)
LAST denotes the last specified position. This parameter is provided to cancel
surveying (automatic position computation) and restore the last position
setting.
SURVey directs the Receiver to stop surveying and use the computed position.
This position is the average of individual position computations.
Context Dependencies
Error -221 is generated if this command is sent as SURV and no valid survey
calculation has ever been computed.
Side Effects
This command stops position surveying. The computed position is retained and
applied only when SURVey is specified.
This query returns the current average position of the Receiver.
Response
Returns a list of values defining the Receiver position:
N or S, <latitude degree>, <latitude minute>, <latitude second>,
E or W, <longitude degree>,<longitude minute>, <longitude second>,
<height above the GPS ellipsoid, in meters (58303B)> or <height above mean
sea level, in meters (59551A)>.
Context Dependencies
Error -230 is generated if in survey and first calculation has not occurred.
