Contents

Unsigned short 2

Sequence tag (unit: 50 ms) modulo 30 minutes. See
NOTE 1 below.

Unsigned char 1

Number of remaining structure to be sent for current
epoch

Unsigned char 1

Satellite index number
GPS: 1-32
SBAS: 33-51
GLONASS: 65-88

Unsigned char 1

Satellite elevation angle (degree)

Unsigned char 1

Unsigned char 1

Channel ID not duplicated for the current epoch

29

C/A code data block (29 bytes)

Unsigned char 1

Warning flag
Bit1, Bit2:
0,0: Code and/or carrier phase measured but measure-
ment was not used to compute position.
1,0: Code and/or carrier phase measured, navigation
message was obtained and measurement was used to
compute position but position wasn’t finally computed.
0,1: Code and/or carrier phase measured, navigation
message was obtained, measurement was used to
compute position and position was computed success-
fully.
Bit3: Carrier phase questionable
Bit4: Code phase (range) questionable
Bit5: Range not precise (code phase loop not settled)
Bit6: Z tracking mode
Bit7: Possible cycle slip
Bit8: Loss of lock since last epoch

Unsigned char 1

Indicates quality of the position measurement (good/
bad)
0: Measurement not available and no additional data will
be sent.
