6.4 Digital Data, RS-232
RS-232 data can be received and transmitted from an internal GPS Pxpress card in a TTL voltage level for use as a GPS
source. This data can also be received from a simulator in a TIA/EIA RS-232 format, which will be emulating the GPS
data format of the GPS Pxpress card. The characteristics of the GPS Pxpress data is 9600 baud, 1 stop bit, 8 bit data, odd
parity.
6.4.1 Xpress GPS Packets ID 15: Lat/Lon/Estimated Horizontal Position Error
Byte Data Type Units
0 Valid Flag Byte Valid = 1, Invalid = 0
1-4 Latitude Real Radians (WGS 84)
5-8 Longitude Real Radians (WGS 84)
9-12 Horizontal Position Error (*) Real Meters
(*) Horizontal position error = 2 * standard deviation of horizontal position.
6.4.2 Xpress GPS Packets ID 16: Altitude/Estimated Vertical Position Error
Byte Data Type Units
0 Valid Flag Byte Valid = 1, Invalid = 0
1-4 Altitude (*) Real Meters (MSL = WGS 84 - Geoid)
5-8 Vertical Position Error (**) Real Meters
(*) Altitude is MSL Altitude, which is computed from WGS 84 altitude by adding the geoid correction.
(**) Vertical position error = 2 * standard deviation of vertical position.
6.4.3 Xpress GPS Packets ID 17: Ground Speed/Track Angle
Byte Data Type Units
0 Valid Flag Byte Valid = 1, Invalid = 0
1-4 Ground Speed Real Meters/Second
5-8 Track Angle Real Degrees (0..360)
