Terminal showing System Status

Below is an example system status report sentence:

$GNTXT,01,01,05,202447.00,270522,0.380,29,40.090355193,-105.184764700,1560.56,3,0,86*71

  • $GNTXT : Start of custom NMEA sentence
  • 01 : Number of sentences
  • 01 : Sentence number
  • 05 : Sentence type ID (5 is for System Status messages)
  • 202447.00 : Current hour, minute, second, milliseconds
  • 270522 : Current day, month, year
  • 0.380 : Current horizontal positional accuracy (m)
  • 29 : Satellites in view
  • 40.090355193 : Latitude
  • -105.184764700 : Longitude
  • 1560.56 : Altitude
  • 3 : Fix type (0 = no fix, 2 = 2D fix, 3 = 3D fix, 4 = 3D + Dead Reackoning, 5 = Time)
  • 0 : Carrier solution (0 = No RTK, 1 = RTK Float, 2 = RTK Fix)
  • 86 : Battery level (% remaining)
  • *71 : The completion of the sentence and a CRC

Note: This is a custom NMEA sentence, can vary in length, and may exceed the maximum permitted sentence length of 61 characters.
