Receiver Status
The Receiver Status fi eld, located at the top fi eld of the page, displays one of the following conditions:
• Searching the Sky: The receiver is looking for any satellites.
• AutoLocate: The receiver is looking for any satellite whose almanac has been collected. This
process can take up to fi ve minutes.
• Acquiring Satellites: The receiver is looking for and collecting data from satellites visible at its last
known or initialized position, but has not collected enough data to calculate a fi x.
• 2D GPS Location: At least three satellites with good geometry have been acquired and a 2
dimensional position fi x (latitude and longitude) is being calculated. ‘2D Differential’ will appear
when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 2D mode and a ‘D’ will show on the strength bar of
satellites being corrected.
• 3D GPS Location: At least four satellites with good geometry have been acquired and your
position is now being calculated in latitude, longitude and altitude. ‘3D Differential’ will appear
when you are receiving DGPS corrections in 3D mode and a ‘D’ will show on the strength bar of
satellites being corrected.
• Lost Satellite Reception: The receiver is no longer tracking enough satellites for a 2D or 3D fi x.
• Receiver Not Usable: The receiver is unusable, possibly due to interference or abnormal satellite
conditions. Turn the unit off and back on to reset.
• Simulating GPS: The receiver is in simulator mode.
• GPS Off: The GPS receiver is turned off.
