GPS Information Tab

Select the Settings icon on the bottom right of the screen. The Settings Menu will open.
Locate and select the GPS module. The GPS Global Settings prompt will display.
Select the GPS Configuration button to the right of desired receiver. The Differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. Settings page will be displayed.
Select the GPS Information Tab.

Model

Displays the GPS receiver model (e.g. Raven Phoenix 200, 600S, or Phoenix 300) or the current active model for the integrated receiver.

Serial Number

The receiver serial number will be displayed in this area. This information may not be available for all receivers.

Firmware Version

The current firmware version installed on the receiver. This information may not be available for all receivers.

Latitude/Longitude

The current geographic coordinates of the ROS device.

Elevation

The current GPS elevation above sea level.

Satellites

Displays the number of satellites currently used in the position solution.

Differential ID

Depending upon the correction source used, this value will display the differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. source identification such as the differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. satellite PRN Pseudo-Random Number, a base station ID, etc.

Differential Age

This value is the age of the last differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. update. The differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. age should not rise above a few seconds to ensure accurate position corrections during field operations.

HDOP

Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a value used to indicate the geometry of the satellite constellation used in the position solution. High HDOP Horizontal Dilution of Precision values indicate that the visible satellite constellation is grouped close together which can negatively impact the accuracy of position and guidance systems.

GGA Quality

Displays the current differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. fix status. This value will display:

‘0’ or ‘1’ if no differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. corrections are being received (single solution). It will display 0 if no GPS fix at all and one if there is a fix but no correction.
‘2’ when the DGPS Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. receiver has locked on to a differential Differential Global Positioning System is an enhancement to standard GNSS/GPS messages to provide better position accuracy. source (SBAS, or convergence on GS/OmniSTAR).
‘4’ for RTK Real-time Kinematic fixed mode for fine GPS course correction mode.
‘5’ for fixed GS or OmniSTAR XP/HP correction modes or RTK Real-time Kinematic float mode.
