Glossary

ASCII	American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A
	standard set of 128 characters, symbols and control codes
	used for computer communications. ASCII characters
	require 7 bits of data to send, but are often sent 8 bits at a
	time with the extra bit being a zero.
auto GPS mode	A procedure of automatically determining either a 2-D or 3-
	D position using signals received from GPS satellites. The
	solution automatically transitions between 2-D and 3-D
	depending on the number of satellites available, the PDOP
	of the available satellites, and the defined PDOP switch
	value. (See PDOP and PDOP constellation switch).
azimuth angle	The angle of the line-of-site vector, projected on the
	horizontal plane, measured clockwise from true North.
bandwidth	The range of frequencies occupied by a signal. Also, the
	information carrying capability of a communication channel
	or line.
baud	A measure of the speed of data transmission. Baud and bit
	rate are the same for direct equipment interconnections (for
	example, through RS-232). Baud and bit rate are not the
	same for modulated data links, whether wire or radio.
bit	Binary digit. The smallest unit of information into which
	digital data can be subdivided and which a computer can
	hold. Each bit has only two values (e.g., on/off, one/zero,
	true/false).
bit rate	The rate at which bits are transmitted over a communication
	path. Normally expressed in bits per second (bps).
byte	A set of contiguous bits that make up a discrete item of
	information. A byte usually consists of a series of 8 bits, and
	represents one character.
