# # GPS data header # For GPS deployed on Drifter # Deployment date 18 April 1995 # # GPS data records in this file contain 4 floating-point values and # 3 integer values, as follows: # # time latitude longitude variance samples on_time 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) # variance: Variance of position in meters (floating point) # samples: Number of samples taken to yield position and variance (integer) # on_time: Total number of seconds GPS receiver was on. # This is normally (time to first fix) + (sample time) # status: Magellan receiver status word. 16 bit integer in hexadecimal. # High byte: 0 = Sky Search, 1 = Searching, 2 = Gathering ephemeris # 3 = Getting 2D fixes, 4 = Getting 3D fixes, # 5 = Dead reckoning (2D), 6 = Dead reckoning (3D) # 7 = Insufficient sats up, # 8 = Not getting fixes (sats blocked) # Low byte, flag bits, as follows: # 0 - reserved, 1 - no fixes yet, 2 - receiving RTCM, # 3 - using NVRAM setup, 4 - oscillator off frequency # 5 - RAM checksum fail, 6 - NVRAM checksum fail, 7 - not used #
