RTK Implementation

Standard Formats

CMR, CMR+

CMR (for Compact Measurement Record) is a non-proprietary
RTK format that uses data compression techniques to reduce
the bandwidth required to transmit the RTK data. In other
words, the amount of data to be transmitted on the data link
is less with CMR than with many other formats.

There is also an enhanced version of this format called
CMR+.

RTCM

RTCM (for Radio Technical Commission for Maritime
Services
) is the most widespread standard format for
transporting RTK correction data. As listed below, there are
several versions of the RTCM format available in Spectra
Precision receivers:
