Satellite[ ]

Applies to

GPSSatellitesInView objects

Description

The Satellite[ ] property array returns information about the azimuth, elevation, signal strength, and PRN number of each of the satellites currently in view.

Usage

In scripts

The Satellite property holds an array of GPSSatellitePosition structures. The following statements create an instance of a GPSSatellitesInView object and write information about each satellite to a multiline edit box:

// instance variable: GPSSatellitePosition iGPS_SP[]

SerialGPS myGPS

GPSSatellitesInView mySIV

Integer rc

myGPS = CREATE SerialGPS
rc = myGPS.open()
mySIV = myGPS.getSatellitesInView()

int count
for count = 1 to UpperBound(iGPS_SP)
   mle_1.text += String(iGPS_SP[i].PRN + " "
   mle_1.text += String(iGPS_SP[i].Azimuth + " "
   mle_1.text += String(iGPS_SP[i].Elevation + " "
   mle_1.text += String(iGPS_SP[i].SNR + "~r~n "
end for
