A.17 Packet Descriptions
A.17.1 Command Packet 0x1D
This packet commands the GPS receiver to set or clear the oscillator offset in battery-
backed memory. This is normally used for servicing the unit.
To clear the oscillator offset, one data byte is sent: the ASCII letter 'C' = 0x43.
To set the oscillator offset, four data bytes are sent: the oscillator offset in Hertz as a
Single real value.
A.17.2 Command Packet 0x1E
This packet commands the GPS receiver to clear all battery back-up data and to perform a
software reset. This packet contains one data byte.
I
Caution – All almanac, ephemeris, current position, mode, and communication port setup
information is lost by the execution of this command. In normal use this packet should not
be sent. It is very helpful to keep a fresh copy of the current almanac, which is stored in
the file GPSALM.DAT collected by the TSIPCHAT command “!”. This allows near-
instantaneous recuperation by the receiver in case of power loss or clearing of battery-
backed memory by using the TSIPCHAT command “@” to load it back into the receiver
memory.
