VDOP

Applies to

GPSSatellitesInView objects

Description

The Vertical Dilution of Precision (VDOP) property indicates the level of confidence in the accuracy of measurements related to the vertical position of the satellite, based on current satellite geometry. A lower value indicates greater confidence.

Usage

In scripts

The VDOP property takes a real value. The following example assumes that a VDOP value of 3 or less is required:

mySatsInView = MyGPS.GetSatellitesInView()
if (mySatsInView.VDOP <= 3) then
   // continue
else
   // take another reading
end if
