RTCM16 SPECIAL MESSAGE
This log contains a special ASCII message that can be displayed on a printer or cathode ray tube. The GPSCard
reference station wishing to log this message out to remote stations must use the RTCM16T command to set the
required ASCII text message. Once set, the message can then be issued at the required intervals with the “LOG
port RTCM16 interval” command. If it is desired that only updated text messages be transmitted, then the GPSCard
log interval must be either “onnew” or “onchanged”. The Special Message setting can be verified in the RCCA
configuration log.
The RTCM16 data log follows the RTCM Standard Format. Words 1 and 2 contain RTCM header information
followed by words 3 to n (where n is variable from 3 to 32) which contain the special mess age ASCII text. Up to
90 ASCII characters can be sent with each RTCM Type 16 message frame.
Structure: (Follows the RTCM Standard SC-104 for a Type 16 message)
RTCM16A
This message is the hexadecimal code equivalent of the special mess age entered using the RTCM16T command.
