Report Packet 0x5F-11: EEPROM Segment Status
The receiver sends this packet in response to command packet 0x3F-11. This packet
contains the status of all EEPROM segments:
•A zero in the status bit indicates that the segment contents are valid.
•A one in the status bit indicates that the segment contents were found to be
corrupt and had to be reverted to their factory default values.
•Bits 3-9 are used to generate the minor alarm (bit 10) in packet 0x8F-AC.
Report Packet 0x6D: Satellite Selection List
This packet provides a list of satellites used for position or time-only fixes by the GPS
receiver. The packet also provides the PDOP, HDOP, VDOP and TDOP of that set and
provides the current mode (automatic or manual, 3-D or 2-D, Over-Determined Clock
mode, etc.). This packet has variable length equal to 17+nsvs where "nsvs" is the
number of satellites used in the solution. If an SV is rejected for use by the T-RAIM
algorithm then the SV PRN value will be n egative.
The GPS receiver sends this packet in response to packet 0x24 or automatically. The
data format is shown below.
