# # GPS data header # For GPS deployed on M1 mooring # Deployment date 4 Nov 1999 # # GPS data records in this file contain 4 floating-point values and # 6 integer values, as follows: # # time latitude longitude std_dev samples time_on diffSamples hdop temp status # # time: GMT time. Format is ddd.fffff, for julian day and fraction of day. # latitude: Latitude in degrees north (floating point) # longitude: Longitude in degrees west (floating point) # std_dev: Standard deviation of position in meters (floating point) # samples: Number of samples taken to yield position and std_dev (integer) # time_on: Number of seconds GPS receiver was powered on # diffSamples: Number of raw samples that were differential GPS # hdop: Horizontal Dilution of Precision for last sample # temp: Temperature of GPS receiver in degrees C # status: Garmin receiver status byte, in hex, with following fields: # (terminology is from Garmin manual. I don't know what some of it means) # Bit 0 = ROM checksum test, 1 = PASS, 0 = FAIL # 1 = Receiver failure discrete, 1 = PASS, 0 = FAIL # 2 = Stored data lost, 1 = Retained, 0 = Lost # 3 = Real time clock lost, 1 = Retained, 0 = Lost # 4 = Oscillator drift discrete, 1 = PASS, 0 = excessive drift # 5 = Board configuration data, 1 = Retained, 0 = Lost # 6,7 Unused #
