Copernicus GPS Receiver 153
TRIMBLE STANDARD INTERFACE PROTOCOL (TSIP) A
The receiver codephase is expressed in 1/16th of a C/A code chip. This corresponds
to:
1/16 x C/A code chip = 977.517ns/16 = 61.0948 ns
= 61.0948 x speed of light, m/s
= 18.3158 meter
Note – The receiver occasionally adjusts its clock to maintain time accuracy within 1
msec. At this time, all pseudo-range values for all satellites are adjusted upward or
downward by one millisecond. Report packet 0x5A checks packet 0x83 or 0x84 for
clock bias.
Report Packet 0x5F
For Trimble diagnostic use only, please ignore.
Report Packet 0x5C - Satellite Tracking Status
This packet provides tracking status data for a specified satellite. Some of the
information is very implementation-dependent and is provided mainly for diagnostic
purposes. The receiver sends this packet in response to Packet
0x3C. The data format
is shown below.
