3.5.2.8 Message 1217 (solution validity input)
The receiver will always output the best position
solution it can attain, depending on the number
and quality of available measurements. The
Solution Validity Input Message allows the user to
define the criteria for setting the position validity

Note 1: The sequence number is a count that indicates whether the data in a particular binary message has been updated or
changed since the last message input.
Note 2: Must operate with DR. stand-alone GPS not acceptable.
Note 3: DR must be calibrated by concurrent GPS. Stored calibration from past sessions not acceptable.
Note 4: DR must NOT be used, even if available.
Table 3-30 Message 1217 (solution validity input)
status specified in the position output messages.
The status will be set to ‘invalid’ if any of the
specified requirements are not met. Storage of this
message’s parameters requires EEPROM. The
