A.17.11 Command Packet 0x2A
*
Note – This packet sets or requests the altitude parameters used for the Manual 2-D
mode: Reference Altitude and Altitude Flag. Packet 0x4A (type 2) is returned.
Reference Altitude is the altitude used for manual 2-D positions if the altitude flag is set.
Altitude is in units of HAE WGS-84 or MSL depending on the selected I/O options for the
position. The Altitude Flag determines whether or not the Reference Altitude will be used.
If set, it will be used. If cleared, altitude hold (last 3-D altitude) is used.
*
Note – With no data bytes, this packet requests the current values of these altitude
parameters. In this case, the GPS receiver returns Packet 4A.
