<H4>Description</H4>
|
|
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.htm">Line
|
|
Disciplines and Streams Modules</A> page. It also requires a <A
|
|
HREF="gadget.htm">gadget box</A> and 1-PPS level converter, such as
|
|
described in the <A HREF="pps.htm">Pulse-per-second (PPS) Signal
|
|
Interfacing</A> page.
|
|
|
|
<P>This driver supports all compatible receivers such as the 6-channel
|
|
MX4200, MX4200D, and the 12-channel MX9212, MX9012R, MX9112.

<H4>Operating Modes</H4>
|
|
This driver supports two modes of operation, static and mobile, controlled
|
|
by clock flag 2.
|
|
|
|
<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>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.
|
|
|
|
<H4>Monitor Data</H4>
|
|
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.htm">MX4200 Receiver Data Format</A>.
