Doppler Window: A value representing the uncertainty of the position solution based on the current satellite geometry. The lower the value, the greater the confidence in the solution.
In the DOP window, DOP is displayed in the following forms:
• GDOP | Geometric DOP: Uncertainty of all parameters (latitude, |
| longitude, height, clock offset) |
• PDOP | Position DOP: Uncertainty of the |
| parameters (latitude, longitude, height) |
• HDOP | Horizontal DOP: Uncertainty of the |
| parameters (latitude, longitude) |
• VDOP | Vertical DOP: Uncertainty of the height |
• TDOP | Time DOP: Uncertainty of the clock offset |
•Console Window: This window allows the user to communicate directly to the receiver through the serial port. It is essentially a terminal emulator with added receiver functionality. Commands can be issued to the receiver via the command editor (at the bottom of the window) and sent by pressing the Enter button or simply pressing <Enter> on the keyboard. The command editor has recall functionality similar to DosKey whereby pressing the up arrow on the keyboard will move backward through the previously issued commands and pressing the down arrow will move forward through the previously issued commands. This allows the user to scroll through previously issued commands and then press the <Enter> key to issue that command again.
Feedback from the receiver is displayed in the ASCII Messages or Console window depending on the format of the message (ASCII or Abbreviated ASCII respectively).
WARNING!: Ensure all other windows are closed in CDU when entering the SAVECONFIG command in the Console window.
