GPS Technical Reference 33 Chapter 3 Eclipse OEM Board Operation THIS Port and the OTHER Port Both Port A and Port B use the phrases THIS and OTHER when referring to themselves and each other in NMEA messages THIS port is the port you are currently connected to for inputting commands To output data through the same port THIS port you do not need to specify THIS port For example when using Port A to request the GPGGA data message be output at 5 Hz on the same port Port A issue the following command SJASC GPGGA 5 lt CR gt lt LF gt The OTHER port is either Port A or Port B whichever one you are not using to issue command If you are using Port A to issue commands then Port B is the OTHER port and vice versa To specify the OTHER port for the data output you need to include OTHER in the command For example if you use Port A to request the GPGGA data message be output at 5 Hz on Port B issue the following command SJASC GPGGA 5 OTHER lt CR gt lt LF gt When using Port A or Port B to request message be output on Port C you must specifically indicate by name you want the output on Port C For example if you use Port A to request the GPGLL data message be output at 10 Hz on Port C issue the following command SJASC GPGLL 10 PORTC lt CR gt lt LF gt Saving the Eclipse OEM Board Configuration Each time you change the Eclipse OEM board s
14. Questions SBAS Reception and Performance How do I know if the Eclipse OEM board has acquired an SBAS signal The Eclipse OEM board outputs the RD1 message that contains the SBAS Bit Error Rate BER for each SBAS channel The BER value describes the rate of errors received from SBAS Ideally this should be zero However the Eclipse OEM board performs well up to 150 BER The SLXMon and PocketMax utilities provide this information without needing to use NMEA commands How do I know if the Eclipse OEM board is offering a differentially corrected or RTK corrected position The Eclipse OEM board outputs the GPGGA message as the main positioning data message This message contains a quality fix value that describes the GPS status If this value is 2 the position is differentially corrected if this value is 5 the position is RTK corrected The SLXMon and PocketMax utilities provide this information without needing to use NMEA commands How do select an SBAS satellite The Eclipse OEM board by default will automatically attempt to track the appropriate SBAS satellites If multiple satellites are available the one with the lowest BER value is selected to be used to decode the corrections You can manually select which SBAS satellites to track see the GPS Technical Reference for more information however this is not recommended Should I be concerned if the Eclipse OEM board is frequently losing lock on SBAS due to obstruction
