<h4>Synopsis</h4>
|
|
Address: 127.127.9.<i>u</i><br>
|
|
Reference ID: <tt>GPS</tt><br>
|
|
Driver ID: <tt>GPS_MX4200</tt><br>
|
|
Serial Port: <tt>/dev/gps<i>u</i></tt>; 4800 baud, 8-bits, no parity<br>
|
|
Features: <tt>ppsclock</tt> (required)
|
|
<h4>Description</h4>
|
|
<p>This driver supports the Magnavox MX4200 Navigation Receiver adapted to precision timing applications. It requires the <tt>ppsclock</tt> line discipline or streams module described in the <a href="../ldisc.html">Line Disciplines and Streams Modules</a> page. It also requires a level converter such as described in the <a href="../pps.html">Pulse-per-second (PPS) Signal Interfacing</a> page.</p>
|
|
<p>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>

<h4>Operating Modes</h4>
|
|
<p>This driver supports two modes of operation, static and mobile, controlled by clock flag 2.</p>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<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>
|
|
<h4>Monitor Data</h4>
|
|
<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>
