TSIP Reference

Preface
Welcome to the TSIP Reference. This publication provides reference information about
TSIP (Trimble Standard Interface Protocol). Included is technical information about TSIP
packet structures, data formats, and detailed information about TSIP command and report
packets. TSIP is a communications protocol for sending configuration commands to
Trimble receivers and receiving reports output by Trimble receivers. TSIP commands and
reports can be interchanged between a Trimble receiver and an external device using a
direct cable connection or wireless communications link.

Scope and Audience
The TSIP information in this publication is of a highly technical nature and is intended for
software developers and GPS system integrators.
The typical Trimble receiver user might find this reference information useful for gaining
a better understanding of the operation of the TSIP software included with the receiver.
To understand the information included in this manual, you need to have a good
understanding of GPS theory of operation, NMEA message types, RTCM SC-104
message types, and a strong understanding of the application for which you plan to
develop software or integrate GPS systems. Some information also may require a good
understanding of beacon and satellite differential theory of operation and/or the sensors
used in GPS/Dead Reckoning systems.

Organization
This manual contains the following chapters:

Trimble Standard Interface
Protocol

Trimble receivers can be configured and controlled using the Trimble Standard Interface
Protocol (TSIP). This chapter provides an overview of TSIP and gives general guidelines
for using TSIP to configure and control Trimble receivers.
Note – The TSIP information in this publication is of a highly technical nature and is
intended for software developers and GPS system integrators. The typical Trimble receiver
user might find this reference information useful for gaining a better understanding of the
operation of the TSIP software included with a Trimble receiver.

The Trimble Standard Interface Protocol (TSIP) allows you to control the GPS receiver
and set GPS configuration parameters. For receivers with appropriate capabilities, TSIP
can be used to control beacon and satellite DGPS parameters and external sensor
configurations. Along with this flexibility, comes the responsibility of making intelligent
parameter selections consistent with each other and the overall system application.
Detailed descriptions of TSIP command packets and reports packets are included in
Chapter 2, Command Packets and Chapter 3, Report Packets.
The GPS receiver is set to factory default parameter settings for working with a great
number of applications. When a customized application is needed, some modification to
the standard settings must be applied. Application hints for several packets are described
in this chapter to help you use the powerful features of TSIP.

TSIP Interface Scope
The Trimble Standard Interface Protocol is used in a large number of Trimble electronics
and navigation sensor designs. The protocol was originally defined for the Trimble
Advanced Navigation Sensor (TANS) and is may be referred to as the TANS protocol even
though it is applied to many other devices.
Typically one serial port on the receiver electronics is used to input and output TSIP
commands and reports, control the GPS and other electronics, and output data for
instrumentation such as:
•

Integration with control systems

•

Mobile vehicle tracking and management systems

•

Navigation processors

•

Navigation displays

TSIP is based on the transmission of information packets between your equipment and a
Trimble receiver.

1.2

TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The TSIP reference information in this publication is presented in a generic manner.
Information for clarifying the TSIP implementation for individual receivers is provided
separately in the appendices.

1.2.1

Machine Codes and Product ID Codes
In TSIP, most products are uniquely identified by a product ID and a machine ID, much
like people are named with a first and last name. The machine ID, like a last name,
associates the GPS receiver with a particular family of Trimble receivers. The product ID,
like a first name, uniquely specifies the product within its family. While all Trimble TSIP
receivers are assigned a machine ID, not all of them may have a product ID as well. The
machine ID is used in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x4B, and Report Packet 0x8F
0x8F. The product ID is used in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x8F 0x64, Report
Packet 0x8F 0x7B, and Report Packet 0x8F 0x8F. To identify the machine ID and product
ID used by a Trimble receiver, see the product specific appendices.

1.2.2

Serial Port Naming Conventions
This publication uses the terms Port A and Port B to refer to the first and second serial
ports of a Trimble receiver. These are internal names assigned to Trimble receiver
electronics. Many Trimble receivers use the same naming convention to label serial port
connectors on the back panel. Some receivers use alternate naming schemes to identify
serial ports. Serial port naming conventions for all receivers are described in the
appendices.

TSIP Packets Supported by Individual Receivers
Separate descriptions of each TSIP packet are described in Chapter 2, Command Packets
and Chapter 3, Report Packets. The product-specific appendices contain lists of the
packets supported by individual receivers.
Appendix A, Packet Usage Summary, contains a complete list of TSIP packets and
identifies the subset of packets supported by each receivers. You can use this information
to quickly identify the packets supported by a specific receiver. Software developers and
system integrators might find this information useful when developing applications for
multiple Trimble receiver products.

1.3

TSIP Signal Characteristics
The user interface signals are EIA RS-232 or RS-422 using a standard serial format, sent
least-significant-bit first, at 9600 baud, with 8 data bits, odd parity, and one stop-bit.

1.4

TSIP Packet Structure
The basic structure of a TSIP packet is the same for both command and report packets.
(see Figure 1-1).

 is the byte 0x10,  is the byte 0x03, and  is a packet ID byte, which can
have any value with the exception of  and . The values of the data bytes
varies and are dependent on the function performed by the packet.

TSIP Reference Volume 1

1-3

Trimble Standard Interface Protocol

To prevent confusion with the starting and ending frame sequences,   and
  respectively, every  byte in the  of a packet is preceded
by an extra  stuffing byte. These extra  bytes must be added (stuffed) before
sending a packet and removed (unstuffed) after receiving the packet. A simple 
 sequence does not necessarily signify the end of the packet, as these can be bytes
in the middle of a data string. The end of a packet is  preceded by an odd number of
 bytes.
Note – The 1-byte hexadecimal Packet ID defines the meaning and format of the data in
the packet.

1.4.2

Subpackets
Several packets support multiple functions which are processed using subpackets.
Subpackets are treated as and behave like separate packets (see Figure 1-2).



0x10 0x03 (end)
data bytes = 1-byte Subpacket ID + data bytes
Packet ID
0x10 (start)

Figure 1-2

TSIP Subpacket Structure

To identify these subpackets, a 1-byte hexadecimal Subpacket ID (SID) is included as the
first byte of data. Hexadecimal notation is used to identify the subpackets associated with
a packet. For example, 0x8E 0x20 means Command Packet 0x8E Subpacket 0x20, and
0x8F 0x20 means Report Packet 0x8F Subpacket 0x20. The word Subpacket is dropped
from and actual descriptions. For example, Command Packet 0x8E Subpacket 0x20 is
referred to Command Packet 0x8E 0x20 or more simply as 0x8E 0x20.

1.4.3

Checksums
Some TSIP packets include a checksum at the end of the data bytes. Unless otherwise
noted, the checksum is computed over all of the data bytes, excluding the checksum itself,
and including a subpacket id, if applicable.

TSIP Reference Volume 1

1.4.4

Data Types
Multiple-byte data types follow the ANSI / IEEE Standard and the 754 IEEE Standard for
binary Floating-Point Arithmetic. These values are sent most-significant byte first and
results in the switching the order of the bytes as they are normally stored. Only the
fractional part of the mantissa for real numbers, Single and Double, is reported because the
leading bit on the mantissa is always 1.
TSIP supports the following data types:
•

BYTE – an 8-bit unsigned number

•

INTEGER – a 16-bit number sent in two's complement format

•

LONG Integer – A 32-bit number sent in two’s compliment form

•

SINGLE – single-precision (4-byte) real numbers are sent as a series of four bytes
(a, b, c, d). They have a precision of 24 significant bits, roughly 6.5 digits with the
following value:
exponent = 2 (0x7F & a) + (0x80 & b) / 128 - 127
mantissa = 1 + ((0x7F & b) + (c + d / 256) / 256) / 128
sign = + if (0x80 & a) is 0, - otherwise.

•

DOUBLE – double-precision (eight-byte) real numbers are sent as a series of
eight bytes (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h). They have a precision of 52 significant bits, a little
better than 15 digits with the following value:
exponent = 16 (0x7F & a) + (0xF0 & b)/ 16 - 1023
mantissa = 1 + ((0x0F & b) + (c+ (d+ (e+ (f+ (g+h/ 256) /256) /256) / 256) / 256)
/ 256) / 16
sign = + if (0x80 & a) is 0, - otherwise.

Key GPS Setup Parameters
Correctly selecting the proper GPS operating parameters is important to get the best
performance from the GPS electronics. The key GPS command packets follow:
•

Command Packet 0x22 (Position Fix Mode Command)

•

Command Packet 0x2C (Operating Parameters Command)

•

Command Packet 0x35 (I/O Option Flags Command)

•

Command Packet 0x62 (DGPS Position Fix Mode Command)

•

Command Packet 0xBB (Receiver Configuration Parameters Commands)

The default settings for these GPS parameters allow the receiver to operate under a wide
variety of demanding conditions. You can use command packets to change the default GPS
parameters if the receiver’s default settings are not adequate for a specific receiver
application or operating environment.
Warning – When the receiver is operating under conditions different from those
established by the default GPS parameter settings, performance can be degraded.

1.5.1

Key Mobile Receiver Setup Parameters
The default parameters produce good GPS performance in almost any environment. You
can optimize the receiver to a particular application if the vehicle dynamics and expected
signal blockage levels are known. If the receiver is removed from this environment, then a
specifically tuned receiver may not operate as well as a receiver with the default options.
Note – Always consult the receiver’s operation manual for the optimum parameter
settings for specific applications. The operation manual included with a receiver usually
specifies optimized GPS parameter settings for horizontal applications. For example, the
parameter settings for a Marine reciever product might be optimized for a sea-going
vessel, the settings for a Precision Agricultural receiver might be optimized for land-based
farm machinery, and the settings for an Intelligent Mobile Tracking receiver might be
optimized for use in vehicles operating in urban canyons. The default settings may also be
found in the product-specific appendix

TSIP Reference Volume 1

1.5.2

GPS Parameter Descriptions
Before configuring the GPS parameters, you must consider the environment in which the
receiver is expected to operate. It is important to determine the priorities and make the
appropriate selections based on the trade-offs between how frequently a position solution
is available versus the absolute accuracy of the solution.
Note – This becomes increasingly important when frequent satellite blockages are
expected for example, in downtown urban canyon environments and heavily foliated areas.

If you contrast the sensor performance required for an aircraft flying level, or a marine
vessel in a calm sea, with that of a truck or bus being driven in an area of partial or
complete blockage due to buildings and trees, then it is clear that different demands are
made on the GPS sensor. Accuracy of the position solution is optimized when the
Minimum Projection (Command Packet 0x35) option flag is ON causing the GPS to output
a position solution only when it has a continuous lock on three or more satellites
simultaneously. Four SVs are required when the receiver is set to 3D mode.
In a downtown urban canyon, it is difficult to maintain continuous lock on a specific
satellite constellation for any length of time. The GPS sensor may find it almost
impossible to pick up signals simultaneously from 3 or 4 satellites and is also subject to
continuous constellation shifts, since the satellites are frequently blocked from view by tall
buildings.
Switching the Minimum Projection Flag to OFF gives the receiver more freedom to select
and propagate old measurements to yield a position solution. Where signal blockage
occurs, new positions are computed for 2-3 seconds using the last satellite velocity vector
before the signal blockage occurred. The drawback is that there is less accuracy than when
a continuous lock is maintained.
You can check for the occurrence of this condition by setting the Additional Fix Status to
ON (Command Packet 0x35) causing automatic output Report Packet 0x5E to identify the
number of old measurements being used. This data is useful where the GPS sensor is used
as part of a Dead Reckoning (DR) system to check the independence of measurements.
This information can be used as a weighting parameter in computing the overall solution.
PDOP Masks set other limitations as do Elevation and SNR Masks. You must be satisfied
with a lower accuracy provided that solution density or frequency is at an acceptable level.

Avoid setting the Elevation and SNR Masks too low. GPS Satellite geometry is sometimes
improved considerably by selecting satellites positioned at a low elevation. Low elevation
satellites are subject to significant signal degradation due to greater ionospheric and
tropospheric attenuation and signal blockage by passing scenery when the GPS sensor is in
a moving vehicle.
GPS codephase data from low-elevation satellites is more difficult to decode and has more
noise. Set the Elevation Mask between 5° and 10° whenever possible.

The Dynamics Code should be set correctly to optimize the search algorithm for satellites
if there has been a complete loss of lock due to short periods of signal blockage.

GPS Position Fix Mode
For the best accuracy, the preferable GPS position fix mode is Manual 3D (three
dimensional) where the following calculations are included:
•

Altitude

•

Latitude

•

Longitude

•

Time

Four satellites are required to obtain a position with a PDOP below the PDOP Mask set in
Command Packet 0x2C. This normally provides the most accurate solution. For example,
if only 3D solutions are desired, you should set the 3D Manual mode. This may be
restrictive depending on how the PDOP Mask is set; especially when the receiver is
subjected to frequent signal blockage or when the geometry is poor due to an incomplete
constellation.
Trimble does not recommended using manual 2D position solutions, however if a 2D (two
dimensional) solution is needed, set the 2D Manual mode. The sensor uses the last altitude
obtained in a 3D solution or the altitude you supplied. Any error in the altitude and altitude
error degrades the accuracy of the latitude and longitude solution.
When high accuracy is required for 2D solutions, you must supply an accurate altitude.
The limitation is that solutions are only as accurate as the altitude supplied. For example,
if a marine user enters sea-level as the altitude, small errors in the horizontal solution
occur when the sea state is rough or there are high tidal variations. These errors however,
may be smaller than the altitude errors induced by Selective Availability (SA). 2D may be
preferable for a marine user who does not want to observe unusual altitudes.
The default mode is Auto 2D/3D. The receiver first attempts to obtain a 3D solution with a
PDOP below both the PDOP Mask and PDOP Switch. If this is not possible, the receiver
attempts to obtain a 2D solution with a PDOP less than the PDOP Mask. This mode
supplies fairly continuous position solutions even when there is frequent signal blockage.
This mode is preferable for most land or air applications, where altitude changes are
occurring and there is occasional signal blockage.

Dynamics Code
For many applications it is reasonable to set the dynamics mode to LAND mode—the
receiver assumes a medium dynamic environment, and the satellite search and
reacquisition routines are optimized for vehicle type environments. Table 1-1 describes the
Dynamic Codes.

receivers such as reference stations

For additional information, see Command Packet 0x2C on page 2-14 and Report Packet
0x4C on page 3-27.
Elevation Mask
The Elevation Mask establishes the minimum elevation angle for satellites to be used in a
solution output by the receiver. Satellites located near the horizon are more difficult to
track due to signal attenuation and are also less accurate due to the higher variability in the
ionospheric and tropospheric corruption of the signal.
When there are no obstructions, the receiver can track a satellite down to near the horizon.
If the Elevation Mask is set too low, the receiver can experience frequent constellation
switching due to low elevation satellites being obscured.

TSIP Reference Volume 1

1-9

Trimble Standard Interface Protocol

1

Frequent constellation switching is undesirable because position jumps may occur. The
size of these jumps is much more noticeable when S/A is present and DGPS is not
available. The benefit of a low Elevation Mask is that more satellites are available for use
in a solution and a better PDOP may result. An Elevation Mask of 10° provides a
reasonable trade-off of the benefits and drawbacks. High accuracy users may prefer a
higher mask angle—for example, and Elevation Mask of 15°—where the ionosphere and
troposphere begin to be more predictable. The default Elevation Mask value varies
depending on the receiver application. For application-specific information, see the
appendices. For additional information, see Command Packet 0x2C on page 2-14 and
Report Packet 0x4C on page 3-27.
SNR Mask
The SNR Mask defines the minimum signal strength for a satellite to be used in a solution.
There is an internal hysteresis on this threshold that allows excursions below the threshold
if lock is maintained and the signal was previously above the mask.
The SNR Mask should only be lowered cautiously since this mask is also used to minimize
the effects of jammers on the receiver. High accuracy users should use a mask set to 5.0 or
6.0 since weaker measurements can contain slightly more noise. The default value varies
depending on the application and are specified in the appendices. For additional
information, see Command Packet 0x2C on page 2-14 and Report Packet 0x4C on page
3-27.
PDOP Mask and Switch
The PDOP Mask sets the maximum Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP) for which any
2D or 3D solution is made. The PDOP Switch sets the level at which the receiver stops
attempting a 3D solution and attempts to generate a 2D solution in the automatic 2D/3D
mode.
The PDOP Switch level does not affect either manual mode. Raising the PDOP Mask
increases the position solution density during signal blockage, but position solutions with
the higher PDOP are less accurate, especially with S/A present. Lowering the mask
improves the average accuracy at the risk of lowering the position solution density.
The default PDOP Mask and PDOP Switch varies depending of the receiver application.
For application-specific information, see the appendices.
For additional information, see Command Packet 0x2C on page 2-14 and Report Packet
0x4C on page 3-27.

Fix Computation Time
Several options are available to specify the time of the GPS solution. Table 1-2 describes
the Time of Fix parameters.
Table 1-2

Fix Computation Time Parameter Options

Parameter

Description

At Integer
Second

Receivers with older architectures use this parameter to ensure that the
fix is always calculated at the integer second, instead of at 250 msecs
and 750 msecs, etc.The most recent measurements are obtained at
each integer second and a solution is then computed for that integer
second. The benefit of this mode is the standard fix time. The drawback
is that some measurement projection may be performed. Most modern
receivers synchronize fixes to the integer second and therefore ignore
this setting.

ASAP

In receivers with older architectures, measurements are not taken all at
the same time, and positions are calculated as soon as enough
measurements are available. Most modern receivers take all the
measurements at once and compute fixes at regular intervals (i.e. 1 Hz,
5 Hz, 10 Hz) and therefore ignore this setting.

Minimum Projection Flag
If the receiver loses the signal for one of the GPS satellites in a constellation, a position
solution is not computed until a new satellite is added to the constellation. For example, if
a four-satellite constellation is required for the current GPS position fix mode and lock on
one of the four satellites is lost, the receiver must lock on another satellite to complete the
constellation. Such constellation switching can also cause position jumps.
Normally when the Minimum Projection Flag is not set, slightly older measurements on
the order of 2-3 seconds are tolerated to provide solutions when obstructions make it
impossible to acquire the same constellation.
In applications that require high accuracy instead of high availability, the Minimum
Projection Flag should be set ON.
Simultaneous Measurements Flag
All measurements must be tagged with the same time when the Simultaneous
Measurements Flag (Command Packet 0x35) parameter is are set. In older receiver
architectures, measurements were not guaranteed to be taken simultaneously unless the
Simultaneous Measurements Flag was set. The measurements were then all propagated to
a common time to calculate a position fix. Most modern receivers automatically take
simultaneous measurements, and therefore they ignore this setting.

DGPS Position Fix Mode
The receiver can be configured to operate in Manual GPS mode, Manual DGPS, or
Automatic mode using Command Packet 0x62. Command Packet 0x62 is acknowledged
with Report Packet 0x82. Table 1-3 describes the differential position fix modes.
Table 1-3

1.5.7

Differential GPS Position Fix Solution Modes

Mode

Description

Manual GPS

Differential correction processing is disabled and position fix solutions
are determined without DGPS corrections.

Manual DGPS

The receiver only computes solutions if corrections are available for
the selected satellites. Manual DGPS is the most accurate mode but, it
is also the most selective since the fix density is dependent on the
availability of corrections. Use the Manual DGPS mode if accuracy is
critical.

Auto DGPS

The receiver automatically switches between GPS and DGPS mode,
depending on the availability of differential correction data. Auto DGPS
mode avoids the fix density problem but opens the possibility of
moving in and out of DGPS mode resulting in position and velocity
jumps. Use the Auto DGPS mode if fix density is critical.

Overdetermined Mode
The receiver can be configured to compute overdetermined solutions and weighted
overdetermined solutions.
Overdetermined Mode (non-weighted) directs the receiver to use all currently tracked
satellites satisfying the masks for computation of the position fix.
Weighted Overdetermined Mode is similar to overdetermined mode except that different
measurements are given different weights. The weights are determined based on the
estimated measurement errors for the satellites used in the position fix.

Command Packets

Command packets are sent to the receiver when requesting data, making inquiries about
parameter settings or operating modes, or executing commands. Command packets are
usually acknowledged by the receiver by returning a response in the form of a report
packet to a computer program designed to read or display TSIP packets.
Some command packets contain no data bytes, as in the case where a request for data is
sent. Other command packets include data bytes to select options which command the
receiver to change a parameter setting or to perform an action.
In some cases, the receiver might acknowledge a command packet by sending one of
several report packets based on the data bytes contained in the command packet.

† Not all receivers support this mode.

Time only (0D) mode uses a single satellite to determine receiver clock error (time) and
error rate (frequency) when the position is precisely known. In this mode, the receiver
does not compute positions or velocities and responds by sending the clock bias and bias
rate in Report Packet 0x54. Similarly, overdetermined clock mode uses more than one
satellite to determine receiver clock error and error rate when the position is precisely
known. Time only and overdetermined clock modes are useful for timing applications,
allowing the receiver to maintain 1 PPS (Pulse Per Second) accuracy even when a fullposition fix is not possible.

0x23

Command Packet 0x23

Initial Position (XYZ Cartesian ECEF) Command
Command Packet 0x23 sends an approximate initial position, in Cartesian ECEF (Earth
Centered, Earth Fixed) WGS-84 coordinates, to the receiver. Packet 0x23 is useful when a
receiver is moved more than 1,000 miles (approximately) after calculating its last position
fix. When Packet 0x23 is received, the receiver immediately searches for visible SVs
starting at the approximate initial position and widens the search to all SVs if insufficient
SVs are available for calculating a position fix.
Note – The receiver can automatically initialize without requesting additional information
from the user, but the initialization process takes longer.

Command Packet 0x23 reduces the time required for initialization. A software reset is not
performed by issuing this command, and this command packet is ignored if the receiver is
already generating positions. Table 2-8 shows the format of the data bytes for setting
initial position in XYZ Cartesian ECEF.

Command Packet 0x25

Soft Reset / Self Test Command
Command Packet 0x25 initiates a software reset for the receiver, causing the receiver to
perform the equivalent of powering off and then on. The receiver performs a self-test
during the reset routine. Command Packet 0x25 contains no data bytes. The receiver
acknowledges the request by returning Report Packets 0x41, 0x45, 0x46, 0x4B, (0x42 and
0x4A) or (0x83 and 0x84).
Tip – The receiver sends Report Packet 0x45 only when powering up and resetting (or on
request). When Report Packet 0x45 is sent by the receiver without request, the receiver
has either powered up or has been reset.

Initial Position
(Latitude, Longitude, Altitude) Command
Command Packet 0x2B is used to set an approximate initial WGS-84 position (latitude,
longitude, and altitude coordinates) for the receiver. Command Packet 0x2B is useful
when a receiver is moved more than 1,000 miles from the location of the last position fix.
Command Packet 0x2B causes an immediate search for the visible SVs starting at the
approximate initial position and widens the search to all SVs if the receiver cannot acquire
enough SVs to generate a position. The receiver can initialize without any data from you,
but it takes more time to generate a position.
Command Packet 0x2B does not perform a software reset and is ignored when the receiver
is already generating positions. Table 2-12 shows the data format.

When the Dynamics Code is set to static and the fix mode is automatic (set by Command

performed but there is at least one usable satellite. In this mode, no positions or velocities
are computed. Instead, the receiver sends Report Packet 0x54 with the clock bias and bias
rate. As long as the receiver remains stationary, this mode can be used for time transfer
applications and to enable the receiver to maintain the accuracy of the 1 PPS (Pulse Per
Second) output even if a full position fix is not possible.

the velocity data until another Packet 36 is sent
with the aiding enable flag set to 0. Once aiding
begins, Packet 36 must be sent again whenever
velocity changes greater than 25 meters per

Download and Upload Satellite System Data
Command Packet 0x38 downloads satellite data from one receiver, and uploads the data to
another receiver. The receiver acknowledges a download operation by sending the
requested data in Report Packet 0x58.
The process of downloading satellite data from one receiver and uploading it to another
decreases the amount of time required for the receiver to initialize from a cold start
(battery-backed memory cleared). Note that the receiver can initialize itself without
uploading data - it merely takes longer.
To download data from one receiver, use only bytes 0-2. To upload the data to another
receiver, use all bytes. Table 2-24 shows the data format.
Note – Data can be downloaded from most receivers, but all receivers do not accept
uploaded data.

Caution – Use extreme caution when using this command packet. The structure of
satellite data is critical to receiver operation. The action of downloading of data from a
receiver to a PC cannot harm the reciever or PC. However, receiver damage could result if
the structure of the satellite data is not compatible with the receiver. It is safe to download
and upload data between receivers with the same Trimble model number. Contact Trimble
before attempting download and upload data between two different Trimble receiver
models.

0x39

Command Packet 0x39

Satellite Attribute Database Command
The receiver maintains a satellite attribute database containing 32 records. One record
exists for each one of the 32 GPS satellites. Normally, all of the satellites are enabled for
use in the computation of solutions, and the health data for the satellite is heeded when
computing solutions. This also assumes that the satellites meet the requirements set for the
mask parameters for elevation angle, signal level, and PDOP.
Command Packet 0x39 is used to reset the satellite attribute flag for individual satellite
records or all satellite records, allowing you to unconditionally disable the corresponding
satellite(s) or to ignore the health of the corresponding satellite(s), regardless of whether
the satellite(s) meet all other requirements.
This packet is also used to view the current Enable/Disable status and Heed/Ignore status
of satellites. The receiver returns Report Packet 0x59 for operation values of 3 and 6 only.
When viewing the list of disabled satellite records included in Report Packet 0x59, the
satellite records are not numbered, even though they are listed numerically.
Byte 1 is set to a value ranging from 1-32 to select a particular satellite record, or it is set
to 0 to select all 32 satellite records. The bit value of Byte 0 determines whether or not the
satellite record is enabled or disabled and whether or not the health of the satellite is
heeded. Byte 0 performs a variety of operations on the satellites depending on the value of
the operation byte. The receiver does not hold this information in battery-backed memory.
When powering on and after resetting the receiver, the database records are reset to their
default values (all satellites are available for selection when computing a solution, and the
health of all satellites is heeded when determining whether or not the satellites are suitable
for selection). Table 2-24 shows the data format.

Serial Port A Communication Parameters Command
Command Packet 0x3D sets or requests the communication parameter settings for serial
Port A, including the input and output baud rates, the number of data bits, parity, the
number of stop bits, the input and output protocols, and the flow control state. The
communication parameter settings for Port A are used to control the throughput and
format of data processed internally by the receiver.
When Command Packet 0x3D is used to request serial communication parameter settings,
the packet is sent with no data bytes. When Command Packet 0x3D is used to set serial
communication parameter settings, the packet includes the data bytes described in Table
2-28. The receiver retains these values in battery-backed memory.
Note – The terms Port A and Port B refer to the first and second serial ports on the
receiver electronics. Some receivers use alternate naming conventions to identify both the
serial port numbers and the serial port connector labels on the back panel of the receiver.
Refer to the applicable product-specific appendix for additional information.

Note – Some receivers allow either serial port to be configured independently. These
receivers may use this packet to configure the "other" serial port (i.e. if sending packet to
Port A which is running TSIP, the configuration changes apply to Port B, and vice versa).
Some receivers may use this packet to always configure the serial port explicitly labeled
Port A. Refer to the applicable product-specific appendix for additional information.

When the language mode for the input port is set to RTCM, raw RTCM data is processed
on Port A. These corrections are used only if the DGPS mode parameter is enabled with
Command Packet 0x62.

The following parameter settings are hardware flow control options:
•

Heed CTS is used to send data when CTS input is asserted and stop sending data
when CTS is not asserted (negated). For additional information about the CTS to
transmit delay, see Report Packet 0x7D 0x05.

•

Ignore CTS is used to send data regardless of the CTS input state.

•

RTS Rx mode is an output signal used to notify an external data source that the
receiver input buffer is nearly full and data input must stop.

•

RTS Tx mode is an output signal used to indicate that the receiver has data ready
for output. For additional information about the RTS trailing edge delay, see
Report Packet 0x7D 0x06.

•

RTS always high is an output signal that is always asserted.

•

RTS always low is an output signal that is always not asserted (negated).

Flow control parameter settings are ignored for receivers that do not support flow control
negotiation.
When Command Packet 0x3D is received with no data bytes, the receiver responds by
sending the current settings in Report Packet 0x3D.

Command Packet 0x65

Differential Correction Status Request
Command Packet 0x65 requests the status of differential corrections for a specific satellite
or for all satellites for which data is available. The receiver responds by sending Report
Packet 0x85 for each satellite if data is available. The contents of Command Packet 0x65
are shown in Table 2-37.

Reference Station Parameters Command
Command Packet 0x67 has several forms differentiated by the Subpacket ID as the first
data byte. Each (0x67 subpackets) packet can be thought of as a different command
packet. The GPS receiver responds by sending the data in Report Packet 0x87. Table 2-38
through Table 2-60 shows the data format. All reference station parameters including the
position must be set before turning on the reference station output by setting the control.
The Port A Language Mode for Transmission (Command Packet 0x3D, byte 4) must be set
to 6 to enable RTCM output. For the best performance from a reference station, the GPS
receiver’s Dynamic Code (Command Packet 0x2C, byte 0) should be set to static. The
Pseudorange Correction (PRC, Type 1 or 9) message can be output slower than the
position fix rate using the Interval and Offset parameters (see Command Packet 0x7C
0x02).

packet. Table 2-78 through Table 2-83 show the data formats. The GPS receiver responds
by returning the corresponding 0x8B report packet.

Command Packet 0x6D allows the user to average position fixes computed by the receiver.
The averaging can be performed over a predetermined period of time, for a predetermined
number of positions, or until the averaging process is stopped by the user.
If the receiver also has reference station capability, the receiver can be configured to
automatically start the reference station using the average position, after the averaging
process has progressed for a user-defined duration of time and/or achieved a user-defined
number of positions in the average. For more information see Command Packet 0x67

0x7A

Command Packet 0x7A

NMEA Output Configuration Commands
Command Packet 0x7A has several forms differentiated by a Subpacket ID as the first data
byte. Each 0x7A subpacket pair can be thought of as a separate command packet. These
subpackets are divided into two groups: subcodes 0x00-0x7F correspond to NMEA output
control for the opposite port to that from which the command is issued; subcodes 0x800xFF represent the same control offered in the 0x00-0x7F packets but the NMEA output
control applies to the current port. For example, if the TSIP communication is occuring on
Port A, subcodes 0x00-0x7F apply to the Port B NMEA configuration, but subcodes 0x800xFF apply to the Port A NMEA configuration.
Message Mask is the NMEA message mask, a 32-bit vector for determining whether or
not a given NMEA message is output. If the bit for a message is set, the message is sent
every Interval seconds with two exceptions: ALM and GSV messages.

•

On rare occasions, the GSV output is missed because the time of output coincides
with a receiver update computation, and becomes available again on the next
Interval second output.

•

The receiver automatically sends ALM messages when a new almanac is decoded.
Upon decoding a new almanac, one almanac message is output each second
starting from SV 1, until all existing SV almanacs are sent. The current almanac
can be requested at any time, allowing the output of one almanac message per
second until all SV almanacs are output.

Bit Mask is the hexadecimal numbers are ORed together to produce the combined output
mask. Table 2-106 shows the hex bit mask values.

For example, GGA, VTG, GSA, and ZDA messages are enabled for output (the default
mask) when the mask value is 0x00000035, and all of the above messages are enabled for
output when the mask value is 0x0000007F.
The ZDA message is output only when an external input is received (see DataMerge
protocol in Command Packet 0x8E 0x7C), so there is no bit mask value to enable it.
Message List (the NMEA message name list) is an alternative to dealing with the mask
directly. A message name list is a sequence of ASCII characters representing the names of
the messages, separated by commas, and terminated with a zero.

Example list: GGA,VTG (= G,G,A,,,V,T,G, 0) or, in hex, 0x47, 0x47, 0x42, 0x2C, 0x56,
0x54, 0x47, 0x00). This list corresponds to a mask of 0x00000005.

appendices for availability.

Command Packet 0x7C

Position Fix or PRC Rate Configuration Commands
Command Packet 0x7C has four forms that are differentiated by the subpacket ID as the
first data byte. Each (0x7C subpacket) pair can be thought of as a separate command
packet. The receiver acknowledges with corresponding Report Packet 0x7D subpacket.

0x7C 0x00 Command Packet 0x7C 0x00
ASAP Fix Rate Command
Command Packet 0x7C 0x00 sets or requests the rate for computing position fixes or for
computing pseudorange corrections when the Reference Station mode is enabled. The
selected rate takes effect on the next integer second. The ASAP Fix Rate applies only if the
Fix Computation Time is set to ASAP mode in the I/O Options Timing byte (Command
Packet 0x35, byte 2). If the Fix Computation Time is set to At Integer Second, position
fixes are computed only at integer seconds irrespective of the specified ASAP Fix Rate.
The receiver retains the GPS position fix rate in battery-backed memory. Table 2-145 and
Table 2-146 show the data format. Send the packet using the structure shown in Table
2-145 to request the ASAP Fix Rate in Report Packet 0x7D 0x00:

Supporting position fixes greater then 2 Hz
To support position fix rates greater than 2 Hz, a double precision time of fix output can be
selected which affects the following position, velocity, and time report packets:
•

Report Packet 0x42 – Single-Precision Position Fix (XYZ Cartesian ECEF)
Report

•

•

Report Packet 0x83 – Double-Precision XYZ Position Fix & Clock Bias Report

•

Report Packet 0x84 – Double-Precision LLA Position Fix & Clock Bias Report

When double precision is selected, the time of fix output is of type Double instead of
Single in each of these packets. The packet lengths increase by 4 bytes and otherwise
remain unchanged. Some receivers may automatically switch to double precision time
representation in these packets if the position fix rate is faster than 2 Hz.

Position Fix Output Interval and Offset Command
The Interval and Offset parameters allow outputting positions at a slower rate than the
current position fix rate setting. For example, if the Integer Second mode is in effect and
the Interval is 5 and Offset is 0, then the position output occurs at the GPS time of the
week seconds: 0, 5, 10, 15, and so on. If the Offset value is changed from 0 to 1 in this
example, then the position output occurs at the GPS time of the week seconds: 1, 6, 11, 16,
and so on.
In another example, with a 5 Hz position fix rate, if the Interval is 3 and Offset is 0, the
position output occurs at the GPS time of the week seconds: 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3.0, and
so on. The Interval and Offset parameters also affect the RTCM Pseudorange Corrections
(PRC Type 1 or 9) messages. These parameters do not affect the NMEA output. Send the

Time-Based Message Interval Command
In order to set the message output rate for a protocol that is tied to a fixed time interval and
not relative to the position rate (as in packet 0x7C 0x02), the Time-Based Message
Interval Command may be used.
Selecting a specific output interval does not affect the current fix rate of the receiver or the
protocol currently in use on the specified port. For example, if a TSIP interval of 100
milliseconds is selected for Port 0, but Port 0 is currently outputting TSIP data and the
receiver is currently calculating fixes at a 5 Hz rate (every 200 msecs), the TSIP data will
not be output any faster than the fix rate so the receiver will report data every 200 msecs.
If the fix rate is subsequently increased to 10 Hz (every 100 msecs), the the TSIP data will
be output at the originally configured rate of 100 msecs. Similarly, if the port is currently
configured for NMEA output, sending a command to configure the TSIP output interval
on that port will not change the output protocol, so NMEA data will continue to be output
at whatever interval it was previously configured. If the output protocol is later changed to
TSIP, the configuration sent previously will be in effect.
Command Packet 0x7C 0x09 can be sent in an abbreviated form to request output of
Report Packet 0x7D 0x09 as shown in Table 2-159.

Command Packet 0x8E

Application Commands
Several packets have been added to the core TSIP protocol to provide additional
application-specific output. In the 0x8E packets, the first data byte is a Subpacket ID
which indicates the subpacket type. Therefore, the ID code for these packets is 2 bytes
long followed by the data. Each (0x8E subpacket) pair can be thought of as a separate
command packet. The receiver acknowledges with corresponding Report Packet 0x8F
subpackets.

0x8E 0x20 Command Packet 0x8E 0x20
Super Packet Output Request
Command Packet 0x8E 0x20 can be sent to request Report Packet 0x8F 0x20. The
command packet requests the transmission of detailed information about the last position

GPS post processing. Automatic output of Super Packet data can be enabled with
Command Packet 0x35. See also Report Packet 0x8F 0x20.
Note – The GPS receiver may not support Super Packet Output unless the Super Packet
Option is installed. Check the product-specific appendices for more information.

station attribute is set to ignore health (Byte = 1), the station is included in the search list
regardless of its health status. When the station is not monitored and is defined as
unmonitored (Byte = 3), the station is treated as a healthy station in the selection process
for Auto Range acquisition mode only.

To change the decoder station information, use the packet shown in Table 2-188. Report
Packet 0x8F 0x81 (a null packet) is sent in response. By default, the receiver enables
output from all of the stations in the downlink list and then picks the best station to use.
The user can change how the receiver chooses the "best" station by modifying the station
selection preference setting in byte 7. In most areas, the network solution should provide
better DGPS performance. In some areas near the edge of the network coverage, you may
receive better DGPS coverage by setting the selection preference to prefer the closest
station instead of the network station.
Note – Do not attempt to configure the station information before a valid station list exists.

0x8E 0x89 Command Packet 0x8E 0x89
DGPS Source Control Command
The Satellite DGPS source control packet is used to control whether the desired source of
differential corrections is a Beacon or a Satellite Station and to set the appropriate
parameters depending on the source chosen.
The packet is used in three different ways for Beacon and Satellite receivers:
•

To configure the beacon modes and frequencies when operating in Beacon
Differential Only source mode. For Beacon receivers, this is the only mode

•

To configure the satellite differential bit rate and frequency when operating in
Satellite Differential Only source mode.

•

To configure the satellite and beacon frequencies and RTCM time-outs when
operating in Auto Differential source mode.

Important Note About Auto-Differential Source Mode
Due to the complexity of automatic source switching, Trimble does not recommend using
Auto-Differential Source mode. Users will be more satisfied with performance and
operation using either Beacon Only or Satellite Only source mode.
In order to successfully enter Auto-Differential mode, the following requirements must be
met:
•

Valid Beacon frequencies for both beacon channels must be specified. If only one
beacon is available in a region, both channels must be set to the same beacon
frequency.

•

The Beacon acquisition mode must be set to Manual mode.

•

A valid satellite frequency must be specified.

•

A valid satellite bit rate must be specified.

This packet replaces Command Packet 0x8E 0x73 (Obsolete) which was formerly used to
control the beacon channels. A single acquisition mode is used for both beacon channels.
To request the current DGPS source parameters, send the packet shown in Table 2-198.

Service Provider Data Load Command
Command Packet 0x8E 0x8E requests the service provider to download data (almanac,
reference station lists, etc.) or to request the service provider to accept data uploaded to the
receiver. Since the amount of downloaded or uploaded data exceeds 114 bytes the data is
divided among several packets called pages. Even when all of the data bytes are DLEs
(which transmits 2 TSIP bytes for each data bytes), the packet structure does not overflow
the 255 byte TSIP buffer length.
The data structure of the packets is described in Table 2-204 and Table 2-205. Each page
contains a maximum of 114 bytes, so multiple pages are generated until all of the data
bytes are transmitted. All of the pages (packets) must be merged together to form one data
block.

Guidance Configuration Command
The items inside the guidance configuration packet are configurable items that most users
will only change once, if they change them at all. Each of these items controls some aspect
of the guidance functionality provided by the PSO. Some additional definitions of packet
entries are described below.
Display Mode
The display mode determines in which direction the lightbar LEDs light and arrow
indicators point to indicate error. If Show Correction is selected, the LEDs will indicate
the direction to steer. If Show Error is selected, the LEDs will reflect the error with respect
to the current swath. Select Show Correction to follow the LEDs, and Show Error to
"pull" the LEDs.
Boundary Mode
Boundary mode determines what kind of boundary will be specified by the headland
points. Headland points are used to describe the field boundary so that the receiver can
provide an indicator of where the vehicle is relative to the field boundary.

Swath Direction
The swath direction setting establishes the direction for swath increment, left or right of
the A-B line. Auto Turn Detect changes swath number when the equipment turns around
approximately 110° with respect to the current swath. Snap to Swath is a second automatic
swath changing option which is not heading dependent. In Snap to Swath, the swathing
system determines which swath is nearest the current position and sets the swath number
accordingly and provides guidance relative to that swath as shown in Figure 2-1.

Snap to Swath

Both Auto Turn Detect and Snap to Swath are temporarily disabled when a user manually
changes the swath either by incrementing or decrementing or setting to a specific swath
number. The automatic options reactivate when the operator brings the equipment onto the
selected swath. The reactivation thresholds are ±3 meters and ±5 degrees with respect to
the manually selected swath number. For example, if the user is on swath #5 in Auto Turn
Detect mode and increments 5 times to make the current swath #10, the Auto Turn Detect
mode will not reactivate until the user drives within ±3meters and ±5 degrees of swath
#10. The user may drive either direction on swath #10.

Swath Width
The swath width parameter is set according to the width of the applicator or spray boom,
where the total width is measured from one end of the boom to the other.
When calculating coverage area, half the swath width is added. The resulting adjusted
field area represents the enclosed area plus a strip of land 1/2 swath width wide around the
edge (see AgGPS Parallel Swathing Option Manual for more information).
Output Rate
The output rate controls how often the guidance status packet is sent. The output rate is
selectable in 200 msec increments including integer seconds (1000 msecs). A value of 0
turns automatic output off.

Lightbar Configuration Command
The lightbar configuration packet contains configurable items that most users will only
change once, if they change them at all. Each of these items controls some aspect of the
lightbar operation.
Indicator LED Sensitivity
The indicator LED sensitivity defines the sensitivity of the lightbar’s large center LED
when approaching the pause/resume point while guidance is paused. The indicator LED
will glow red, Orange, then green as a vehicle passes over the resume point. Sensitivity is
the radius of the GREEN zone, and the width of the ORANGE zone.
The indicator LED is also used to indicate field boundaries when particular headland
modes are selected. However, the LED is toggled between GREEN and RED at field
boundaries, so the indicator LED sensitivity does not apply.
Note – The faster the ground speed, the larger the LED sensitivity should be. As a frame of
reference, a speed of 8 m.p.h. (13 k.p.h.) must have a sensitivity of 36 ft. (11 m) to yield a
3-second warning.

Note – The center LED spacing and the end LED distance are used to describe the
distance represented by the first LED from the center and the distance represented by all
of the LEDs on one side of the lightbar, respectively. For example, if the center LED
spacing is set to 0.5 meters, the LED slides one unit to the left or right for every 0.5 meters
off-line. A smaller sensitivity setting provides more precise guidance. A larger setting
increases the distance off-line before the LEDs indicate error. If the LED display is Scaled,
the first 10 LEDs left and right of center are spaced equally by the spacing value. The
outside LEDs become less sensitive to represent the end value settings. The seven
outside LEDs are scaled to the configured LED end distance.

Note – The "jump to a specific swath" setting is only necessary when you want to change
swath rows to the opposite side of the A-B line or fix an accidental increment while
maintaining the existing A-B line. See additional notes about changing swath number while
in Auto Turn Detect or Snap to Swath modes in Command Packet 0x8E 0x91
documentation.

Note – Curved guidance operation does not permit jumps to any swath in a field because
the system stores data only from the previous path driven. ’Change Swath’ when curve
following involves moving the path being guided to by the lightbar between three possible
positions: Left, Right, and Center with respect to the path driven on the previous swath
(during which time the system was logging points for guiding on the next swath).

Report Packets

The Trimble GPS receiver sends report packets in response to command packets. Report
packets are also sent when the receiver is powered up and automatically at periodic
intervals or when information is available to report.
Some report packets contain no data and are used to acknowledge the performance of the
action associated with a command packet.
Report packets are assigned a hexadecimal identification code to distinguish one report
from another. For example, the report packet ID for the differential GPS receiver
application reports is 0x8F.
Some report packets have several subpackets which are assigned hexadecimal subpacket
ID codes. For example, the hexadecimal number 0x8F 0x7C is the hexadecimal code for
Report Packet 0x8F, Subpacket 0x7C. The subpackets are treated as discrete report
packets because they usually perform a function associated with the report packet ID code.
For example, some of the 0x8F subpackets report on or acknowledge a variety of unique
beacon or satellite differential functions.
Most report packets are contained within a single report packet. A few report packets
exceed the 123 byte data limit for TSIP packets and are divided into multiple packets
called pages. For more information, see TSIP Packet Structure on page 1-3.

0x1A 0x00 Report Packet 0x1A 0x00
Raw RTCM Wrapper / Port A Echo Report
Report Packet 0x1A 0x00 can be generated by one of the following two methods:
Method 1: Reference Station receivers can generate Report Packet 0x1A 0x00 on Port A
when in RTCM Output mode by setting the TSIP RTCM wrapper bit (Command Packet
0x67 0x01), Bit 3, Options Byte 1). This places (DLE, 0x1A, 0x00) before and (DLE,
ETX) after normal RTCM bytes. Note that RTCM Version 2 does not contain any internal
DLE bytes, so DLE stuffing does not apply.
Method 2: Report Packet 0x1A 0x00 can be generated by setting the Port A RTCM Echo
bit (Command Packet 0x7C 0x01), Bit 4, Options Byte 2). In this case, Report Packet
0x1A 0x00 is generated on Port B and contains all data received on Port A, provided that
Port A is not in TSIP mode (see Command Packet 0x3D, Byte 5). Note that this allows
RTCM data to be monitored on Port B at the same time it is being decoded by the receiver.
A new Port A Reception Language (see Command Packet 0x3D, Byte 5) value of Off has
been introduced to bypass the RTCM decoding of the RTCM (or other) data which is being
received on Port A, but still allows the echo function. When the Echo mode is enabled, the
data from Port A is accumulated into a 32-byte buffer and is sent whenever the buffer is
full or every half second when data is in the buffer.

0x3D

Report Packet 0x3D

Serial Port A Configuration Report
Report Packet 0x3D reports the logical communication parameter settings for the serial
Port A on the receiver. The Port A communication parameters must match those of the
external port being configured (typically the port which does not support TSIP input and
output). The Port A communication parameters are used to digitally control the throughput
and format of data processed internally within the receiver.
Warning – The terms Port A and Port B refer to the first and second serial ports on the
receiver electronics. Some receivers use alternate naming conventions to identify both the
serial port numbers and the serial port connector labels on the back panel of the receiver.
Refer to the applicable product-specific appendix for additional information.
Some receivers allow either serial port to be configured independently. These receivers
may use this packet to configure the "other" serial port (i.e. if sending packet to Port A
which is running TSIP, the configuration changes apply to Port B, and vice versa). Some
receivers may use this packet to always configure the serial port explicitly labeled Port A.
Refer to the applicable product-specific appendix for additional information.

The configuration parameters support options for setting the baud rate of the input and
output serial ports, number of bits, parity, and number of stop bits, hardware flow control,
and the input and output protocols. The receiver sends this 6-byte packet in response to
Command Packet 0x3D. Table 3-4 shows the data format.

For transmission, the language mode specifies whether packets, RTCM messages, or
NMEA messages are output on Port A. For reception, the language mode specifies
whether packets or RTCM data are received on Port A.
The baud rate and protocol of the logical Port A input and output serial ports can be set
independently. However, the number of data bits, parity, and the stop bits are the same for
both the transmitter and the receiver.
When the input serial port is configured to support RTCM SC-104, raw binary RTCM SC104 data is input through Port A. These corrections are used only if the DGPS mode
parameter is set to Manual On or Automatic using Command Packet 0x62.

The receiver holds this information in battery-backed memory. After loss of batterybacked memory, the receiver reverts to default values.
Note – The default port parameters vary depending on the receiver. Refer to the
applicable product-specific appendix for additional information.

The following parameter settings are hardware flow control options:
•

Heed CTS is used to send data when CTS input is asserted and stop sending data
when CTS is not asserted (negated). For additional information about the CTS to
transmit delay, see Report Packet 0x7D 0x05.

•

Ignore CTS is used to send data regardless of the CTS input state.

•

RTS Rx mode is an output signal used to notify an external data source that the
receiver input buffer is nearly full and data input must stop.

•

RTS Tx mode is an output signal used to indicate that the receiver has data ready
for output. For additional information about the RTS trailing edge delay, see
Report Packet 0x7D 0x06.

•

RTS always high is an output signal that is always asserted.

•

RTS always low is an output signal that is always not asserted (negated).

Report Packets

0x44

Report Packet 0x44

Non-Overdetermined Satellite Selection Report
Report Packet 0x44 provides a list of satellites used for position fixes by the GPS receiver.
The packet also provides the PDOP, HDOP, VDOP, and TDOP of that set and provides the
current mode (automatic or manual, 3D or 2D). The GPS receiver sends this packet in
response to Command Packet 0x24 and whenever a new satellite selection is attempted. If
more than four satellites are used to generate the position, the GPS receiver sends
overdetermined-mode Report Packet 0x6D instead of this packet. Therefore, you must
listen for both packets if in overdetermined mode. In non-overdetermined mode, the GPS
receiver only generates Report Packet 0x44. The GPS receiver attempts a new selection
every 15 seconds and whenever satellite availability and tracking status changes. Table
3-10 shows the data format.
A PDOP value of zero indicates that the GPS receiver is not doing fixes, usually because
there are not enough healthy usable satellites for position fixes. In this case, the satellite
number list contains up to four of the satellites that are usable.
Empty satellite number bytes contain zero. Negative PDOP values indicate that the PDOP
is greater than the PDOP mask value and therefore the GPS receiver is not performing
fixes.

Installed means that the hardware and firmware exist in this particular receiver and can be
used to perform the specified function. In some cases, the functionality is installed in a
particular unit, but it must be enabled prior to use.
For example, consider byte #26 values for NMEA output: receivers that have a value of 2
for byte #26, output NMEA messages as the default without requiring the receiver to be
configured to perform this function. Receivers without firmware for enabling NMEA
output have a 0 value for this byte. Finally, some receivers have a value of 1 for this byte,
meaning NMEA output is available, but not the default. In this configuration a TSIP
command must be used to enable the function before NMEA is output. This is why the
byte #26 value 1 meaning in Table 3-12 is annotated as available.

the time of fix is obtained from bytes 16-23. Also note that at fix rates of 5 Hz and above, the time
field automatically becomes a Double to ensure sufficient precision throughout the GPS week.

The bias is the offset of the receiver internal time clock from GPS time. Bias is expressed
as meters of apparent range from the satellites. It is used to correct the 1 PPS output. Bias
rate is the frequency error of the receiver’s internal oscillator. It is expressed as apparent
range rate.
Caution – For accurate interpretation of the propagation delay, the precise constant for the
speed of light must be used. The WGS-84 value for the speed of light is 299,792,458
meters per second.

The report is useful for determining whether or not the attribute bit in the satellite records

the satellite is in good health. The flags identify any satellites which are
manually disabled by user. The factory default setting is to enable all
satellites for inclusion in position solution computations if they are in
good health and conform with the mask values for elevation angle,

indicate that the satellite can be used in the position solution, regardless
of whether the satellite is in good or bad health. The factory default
setting is to heed satellite health when choosing the satellites included

Sample Length
The Sample Length parameter (Bytes 1-4) is the number of milliseconds over which the
measurement is averaged. Thus, if the sample length is 428, then the receiver tracked the
satellite and collected the measurement over a 428 millisecond period. The receiver uses a
500 millisecond dwell time per satellite. Therefore, Raw Measurement Data for each
satellite currently being tracked is available every 1/2 second.

Signal Level
The Signal Level parameter (Byte 5-8) (an approximation of C/N0) is stated in antenna
amplitude measurement units (AMU’s), a Trimble devised unit. An approximate
correlation of AMU levels to C/N0 follows:
5 AMUs ≅ 41 dB Hz
16 AMUs ≅ 51 dB Hz
26 AMUs ≅ 55 dB Hz
Formula:

C/N0(dBHz) ≅ 20 log(AMU) + 27

Four basic parameters affect C/N0:
•

Signal strength from the GPS satellite

•

Receiver/antenna gain

•

Pre-amplifier noise figure

•

Receiver noise bandwidth

The approximation is accurate from 3 to 25 AMU’s.
Codephase
The Codephase parameter (Byte 9-12) value is the average C/A code delay over the
sample interval and is measured with respect to the receiver’s millisecond timing
reference. Thus, it includes all receiver, satellite, and propagation biases and errors. It is
expressed in 1/16th of a C/A code chip, that corresponds to:
1/16 * C/A code chip ≅ 977.517ns/16 ≅ 61.0948 ns
≅ 61.0948 * speed of light, m/s
≅ 18.3158 meter
The I/O option auxiliary byte bit 2 determines whether raw or carrier filtered codephase
data is received.
Doppler
The Doppler parameter (Byte 13-16) value is apparent carrier frequency offset averaged
over the sample interval. It is measured with respect to the nominal GPS L1 frequency of
1575.42 MHz, referenced to the receiver’s internal oscillator. Thus, it includes all receiver
and satellite clock frequency errors. It is expressed in Hertz at the L1 carrier.

Report Packets

Measure Time
The Measure Time parameter (time of measurement, Byte 17-24) is the center of the
sample interval adjusted by adding the averaged codephase value (modulo 1ms).
The codephase provides only a modulo 1ms measure of the pseudorange between the user
and the satellite. The integer millisecond portion of the pseudorange must be derived by
utilizing the approximate user and satellite positions. Rough user position (within a few
hundred kilometers) must be known; the satellite position can be found from its almanac
or ephemeris data.
Each ms integer corresponds to:
C/A code epoch * speed of light= 1 ms * speed of light, m/s
≅ 300 km (approximately)
≅ 299.792458 km (precise)

The satellite time of transmission for a measurement can be reconstructed using the code
phase, the time of measurement, and the user-determined integer number of milliseconds.
The receiver occasionally adjusts its clock to maintain time accuracy within ±0.5
milliseconds, at which time the integer millisecond values for all satellites are adjusted
upward or downward by one millisecond.

Report Packet 0x7B

NMEA Output Control Reports
Packet 0x7B has several forms that are differentiated by a Subpacket ID as the first data
byte. Each 0x7B subpacket can be thought of as a separate report packet. These
subpackets are divided into two groups: subcodes 0x00-0x7F correspond to NMEA output
control for the opposite port to that from which the command is issued; subcodes 0x800xFF represent the same control offered in the 0x00-0x7F packets but the NMEA output
control applies to the current port. For example, if the TSIP communication is occuring on
Port A, subcodes 0x00-0x7F apply to the Port B NMEA configuration, but subcodes 0x800xFF apply to the Port A NMEA configuration. For more information about the data
formats and message masks, see Command Packet 0x7A. Table 3-66 through Table 3-76
shows the various forms of Packet 0x7B.

Position Fix Output Interval and Offset Report
The Interval and Offset parameters allow for outputting positions at a slower rate than the
current position fix rate setting. For example, if the At Integer Second mode is in effect and
the Interval is 5 and Offset is 0, then the position output occurs at the 0, 5, 10, 15,... GPS
time of week seconds. If the Offset value is changed from 0 to 1, then the position output
occurs at the 1, 6, 11, 16,... GPS time of the week seconds. In another example, if the
position fix rate is 5 Hz, the Interval is 3, and the Offset is 0, then the position output
occurs at 0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8, 2.4, 3.0,... GPS time of the week seconds.

Report Packet 0x82

Differential Position Fix Mode Report
Report Packet 0x82 reports the differential position fix mode and other RTCM receiver
parameters. Two versions of Report Packet 0x82 are available—one version reports the
Mode only as a single data byte and the second version reports the Mode and additional
parameters.
The receiver sends Report Packet 0x82 in response to Command Packet 0x62 and
whenever a satellite selection is made while the receiver is operating in one of the Auto
DGPS modes (mode 2 and 3). The packet is sent before position and velocity fix packets
whenever a GPS/DGPS mode change occurs. The packet indicates the current GPS/DGPS
mode in effect.
The receiver switches automatically between modes 2 and 3 based on the availability of
differential corrections for a constellation of satellites meeting all mask requirements. If
the required number of satellites is not available to form the constellation, then the
receiver stays in its current automatic mode (2 or 3) and does not compute position
solutions. Table 3-104 lists the valid modes. If the packet contains the additional
parameters, it contains three additional bytes in the format shown in Table 3-105.

the time of fix is obtained from bytes 32-39. Also note that at fix rates of 5 Hz and above, the time
field automatically becomes a Double to ensure sufficient precision throughout the GPS week.

The time of fix is in GPS time or UTC, as selected by the I/O timing option. At start-up, if
the I/O double-precision of position option is selected, the receiver also sends this packet
with a negative time of fix to report the last computed position. Report Packet 0x42

Report Packets

0x8F 0x77 Report Packet 0x8F 0x77
FFT Reports
Report Packet 0x8F 0x77 is generated after Command Packet 0x8E 0x75 is acknowledged
with Report Packet 0x8F 0x75. The receiver performs a 1024-point Fast Fourier
Transform (FFT) by the number of times specified by the Number of Integrations
parameter in Command Packet 0x8E 0x75. Once the FFT report is completed, the receiver
begins the next FFT. The FFT reports are generated and sent continuously until the FFT
Stop Command (Command Packet 0x8E 0x76) is issued.
Because the amount of data contained in the FFT report exceeds 123 bytes, the report is
divided into multiple packets (pages).
Even if all data bytes are DLEs (which would transmit 2 TSIP bytes for each data byte), the
message structure does not overflow the 255 byte TSIP buffer length.
The contents of the message packet pages are described in Table 3-189 through Table
3-191. Each page contains a maximum of 123 data bytes, so multiple pages are generated
until all of the data bytes in the report are transmitted. A total of nine pages are generated
for narrowband FFT reports, five pages are generated for wideband FFT reports. All of the
message packets must be concatenated together to form one data block.
Table 3-188 describes the different parameters used in the wideband and narrowband
FFTs.

0x8F 0x80 Report Packet 0x8F 0x80
DGPS Service Provider System Information Report
Report Packet 0x8F 0x80 reports information about the current status of the DGPS service
provider in response to Command Packet 0x8E 0x80. Due to operational differences
among service providers, the decoder state and access information is interpreted slightly
differently for each service provider.
Racal Service
At all times, the user access information accurately reflects the current access state, where
“Access information available” indicates that no access information has been received yet.
The initial confirmation of user access typically occurs after decoder initialization is
complete.
Omnistar Service
Once the initialization sequence is complete, the user access information is valid. Before
initialization is completed, the access may not accurately reflect the final access state. To
help determine whether the user access will become enabled when initialization is
complete, the user may wish to look at the activation stop date provided by Report Packet
0x8F 0x8B. If the activation stop date is a future date, user access will become enabled
when initialization is completed.

0x8F 0x82 Report Packet 0x8F 0x82
Decoder Diagnostic Information Report
Report Packet 0x8F 0x82 includes diagnostic information for evaluating the quality of the
decoded data received from the service provider. This is a good indicator of whether there
is currently data on the signal and whether the receiver is able to decode the signal well.
The statistics are collected over a set data block size which can take 3-5 minutes to collect
the data provided the receiver is configured to track the signal.

Omnistar, the maximum quality figure is
100%.
Low quality figures indicate that the data link
is poor either due to low signal level or a
noisy environment.

0x8F 0x85 Report Packet 0x8F 0x85
DGPS Source Tracking Status Report
Report Packet 0x8F 0x85 is intended to replace Report Packet 0x8F 0x70. This packet is
used to convey the DGPS tracking status for either beacon or satellite differential signals.
Some fields have duplicate meanings depending on the mode (beacon or satellite). In
satellite mode, the second channel of data (channel 1) is meaningless. Report Packet
0x8F 0x70 is still supported, but this is the preferred packet to use.

Service Provider Data Load Report
Report Packet 0x8E 0x8E reports the downloaded service provider data (almanac and
reference station lists) as requested by Command Packet 0x8E 0x8E. Since the amount of
downloaded or uploaded data exceeds 114 bytes, the data is divided among several packets
called pages. Even when all of the data bytes are DLEs (which transmits 2 TSIP bytes for
each data bytes), the packet structure does not overflow the 255 byte TSIP buffer length.
The data structure of the packets is described in Table 3-222 and Table 3-223. Each page
contains a maximum of 114 bytes, so multiple pages are generated until all of the data
bytes are transmitted. All of the pages (packets) must be merged together to form one data
block.

to produce a PPS signal even when a position fix
is not available (satellites are not tracked). If the
Maximum UNC Threshold is set to a small value
(e.g. 1 msec, the PPS signal is disabled a few
seconds after a position is no longer available
(satellites are no longer tracked). The PPS signal
drifts when a position fix is not available and
snaps back to the correct position once a position
fix becomes available again.

Identification
In TSIP, each product is uniquely identified by a product ID and a machine ID, much like
people are named with a first and last name. The machine ID, like a last name, associates
the GPS receiver with a particular family of Trimble receivers. The product ID, like a first
name, uniquely specifies the product within its family. The machine ID is used in Report
Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x4B, and Report Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The product ID is used
in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x8F 0x64, Report Packet 0x8F 0x7B, and Report
Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The machine and product IDs for the supported products listed above
are defined in Table B-1.

Key Configuration Parameter Settings
Correctly selecting the proper GPS operating parameters is important to get the best
performance from the GPS sensor. Command Packets are available for changing the
receiver setup for the specific conditions of a particular user, including packets:
•

0x22 (Position Fix Mode Command)

•

0x2C (Operating Parameters Command)

•

0x35 (I/O Option Flags Command)

•

0x62 (DGPS Position Fix Mode Command)

The default values for the parameters in these packets allow the receiver to operate under a
wide variety of demanding conditions. You can choose to change the default parameters if
the receiver is required to perform only in a specific or limited environment.
Warning – When the receiver is exposed to operating conditions different from those
described in the setup, performance can be degraded.

GPS Pathfinder Pro XR
TSIP implementation clarifications, default GPS parameter and configuration settings, and
application-specific information for the GPS Pathfinder Pro XR receiver are covered in
this section.

B.5.1

GPS Pathfinder Pro XR TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for GPS Pathfinder Pro XR
receiver.
GPS Pathfinder Pro XR Port Naming Conventions
The TSIP packets for configuring serial ports refer to the first serial port on the receiver
electronics board as Port A and the second serial port as Port B. The GPS Pathfinder Pro
XR serial port connectors are labeled Port A and Port B. These port connector names are
equivalent to the Port A and Port B names used in this publication. Where ports are
referenced by number, Port A corresponds to port number 1 and Port B corresponds to port
number 0. This publication assumes that Port B is used for TSIP transmissions even
though the user can reverse the communications role of the two ports. Note that when
using TSIP packet 0x3D to configure port parameters, the configuration data applies to the
opposite port from the one the command is issued from.
GPS Pathfinder Pro XR Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA and VTG.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1
stop bit.
Maximum Positioning Rate for GPS Pathfinder Pro XR
The standard GPS Pathfinder Pro XR is manufactured to support a 1 Hz positioning rate.
GPS Pathfinder Pro XR receivers with the factory-installed 10 Hz option can support
positioning rates of 5 or 10 Hz. The Maximum Positioning Rate can be set using
Command Packet 0x8E 0x7C, Byte 67. You can learn the current Positioning Rate by
requesting Report Packet 0x8F 0x7C.
Note – The 5 Hz and 10 Hz positioning rates are available only if the 10 Hz Option is
installed on the receiver.

Identification
In TSIP, each product is uniquely identified by a product ID and a machine ID, much like
people are named with a first and last name. The machine ID, like a last name, associates
the GPS receiver with a particular family of Trimble receivers. The product ID, like a first
name, uniquely specifies the product within its family. The machine ID is used in Report
Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x4B, and Report Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The product ID is used
in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x8F 0x64, Report Packet 0x8F 0x7B, and Report
Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The machine and product IDs for the supported products listed above
are defined in Table C-1.

Key GPS Configuration Parameters
Correctly selecting the proper GPS operating parameters is important to get the best
performance from the GPS sensor. Command Packets are available for changing the
receiver setup for the specific conditions of a particular user, including packets:
•

0x22 (Position Fix Mode Command)

•

0x2C (Operating Parameters Command)

•

0x35 (I/O Option Flags Command)

•

0x62 (DGPS Position Fix Mode Command)

The default values for the parameters in these packets allow the receiver to operate under a
wide variety of demanding conditions. You can choose to change the default parameters if
the receiver is required to perform only in a specific or limited environment.
Warning – When the receiver is exposed to operating conditions different from those
described in the setup, performance can be degraded.

DSM12 Port Naming Conventions
The DSM12 serial port connectors are labeled Port A and Port B. These port connector
names are equivalent Port A and Port B names used in this publication. Where ports are
referenced by number, Port A corresponds to port number 1 and Port B corresponds to port
number 0. This publication assumes that Port B is used for TSIP transmissions even
though the user can reverse the communications role of the two ports. Note that when
using TSIP packet 0x3D to configure port parameters, the configuration data applies to the
opposite port from the one the command is issued from.
DSM12 Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA and VTG.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1

DSM212H and DSM212L Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA and VTG.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1
stop bit.
Maximum Positioning Rate for DSM212H and DSM212L Receivers
The DSM212L receiver is manufactured to support a 1 Hz positioning rate, and the
DSM212H receiver includes the 10 Hz positioning rate option, supporting positioning
rates of 5 or 10 Hz. The Maximum Positioning Rate for the DSM212H can be set using

C.10 NT300D
TSIP implementation clarifications, default GPS parameter and configuration settings, and
application-specific information for the NT300D receiver are covered in this section.

C.10.1 NT300D TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for NT300D receiver.
NT300D Port Naming Conventions
The NT300D features two serial ports called Serial Port 1 and Serial Port 2. Either port can
be configured for TSIP input and output. The port currently used to input and output TSIP
packets is referred to as Port B in this publication. The port used to output RTCM data is
referred to as Port A in this publication. Note that when using TSIP packet 0x3D to
configure port parameters, the configuration data applies to the opposite port from the one
the command is issued from.
NT300D Default Port Configurations
The default input and output protocols for both Port A and Port B are set to Off (no
protocols are selected by default). The default baud rate is 4800 baud for both ports. For all
input and output protocols on both ports, the NT300D is hard-wired to support 8
characters, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
NT300D Default NMEA Sentences
The default NMEA messages are DTM, GGA, VTG, XTE, and ZDA.
NT300D Key Configuration Parameter Settings
Table C-13 identifies key configuration parameters, their associated command packets, and
default settings. If the receiver fails to operate correctly after changing parameter values,
reset the configuration settings to their default values.

Mobile Positioning and
Communication Products

TSIP (Trimble Standard Interface Protocol) support for Mobile Positioning and
Communications products are summarized in this chapter. The Mobile Positioning and
Communications products are identified and the TSIP command and report packets
supported by each product are summarized. Application notes are provided for each
Mobile Positioning and Communications product to clarify the TSIP implementation and
identify the default settings for key GPS parameters and receiver configuration options.

D.1

Supported Mobile Positioning and Communications Products
TSIP information is provided for these receivers:

D.1.1

•

CrossCheck AMPS Cellular (section D.5 on page D-15)

•

CrossCheck XR (section D.6 on page D-18)

•

Placer GPS 450 (section D.7 on page D-21)

•

Placer GPS 455 and Placer GPS 455DR (section D.8 on page D-24)

Identification
In TSIP, each product is uniquely identified by a product ID and a machine ID, much like
people are named with a first and last name. The machine ID, like a last name, associates
the GPS receiver with a particular family of Trimble receivers. The product ID, like a first
name, uniquely specifies the product within its family. The machine ID is used in Report
Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x4B, and Report Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The product ID is used
in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x8F 0x64, Report Packet 0x8F 0x7B, and Report
Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The machine and product IDs for the supported products listed above
are defined in Table D-1.

Key GPS Configuration Parameter Settings
Correctly selecting the proper GPS operating parameters is important to get the best
performance from the GPS sensor. Command Packets are available for changing the
receiver setup for the specific conditions of a particular user, including packets:
•

0x22 (Position Fix Mode Command)

•

0x2C (Operating Parameters Command)

•

0x35 (I/O Option Flags Command)

•

0x62 (DGPS Position Fix Mode Command)

The default values for the parameters in these packets allow the receiver to operate under a
wide variety of demanding mobile positioning and tracking applications. You can choose
to change the default parameters if the receiver is required to perform only in a specific or
limited environment.
Warning – When the receiver is exposed to operating conditions different from those
described in the setup, performance can be degraded.

CrossCheck AMPS Cellular
TSIP implementation clarifications, default GPS parameter and configuration settings, and
application-specific information for the Crosscheck AMPS Cellular unit are covered in
this appendix.

D.5.1

Crosscheck AMPS Cellular TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for Crosscheck AMPS Cellular
unit.
CrossCheck AMPS Cellular Port Naming Conventions
The TSIP packets for configuring serial ports refer to the first serial port on the unit’s
electronics board as Port A and the second serial port as Port B. The Crosscheck AMPS
Cellular unit uses a descriptive name to label the single serial port connector on the back
panel of the receiver processing unit. The connector label name, AUX (MDT) reflects the
default function assigned to the port. The AUX (MDT) port can be used to transmit TSIP
data and is referred to as Port B in this publication.
Note – The Crosscheck AMPS Cellular unit is factory configured to use TAIP (Trimble
ASCII Interface Protocol) rather than TSIP. To use TSIP instead of TAIP, use the TAIP PR
(Protocol) message to select TSIP as both the input and output protocols for controlling the
selected port.

Crosscheck AMPS Cellular Key GPS Configuration Parameter Settings
Table D-4 identifies key configuration parameters, their associated command packets, and
default settings. If the unit fails to operate correctly after changing parameter values, reset
the configuration settings to their default values.

appendix.

D.6.1

CrossCheck XR TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for CrossCheck XR units.
CrossCheck XR Port Naming Conventions
The TSIP packets for configuring serial ports refer to the first serial port on the unit’s
electronics board as Port A and the second serial port as Port B. The CrossCheck XR unit
uses descriptive names to label the port connectors on the back panel of the processing
unit. The connector label names reflect the default function assigned to each port.
CrossCheck XR units can transmit TSIP data from any serial port, but only one port is
used to transmit TSIP data at any given time. The CrossCheck XR port currently used to
transmit TSIP data is referred to as Port B in this publication. The CrossCheck XR RTCM
Port is referred to as Port A in this publication.
Note – CrossCheck XR operating parameters are configured locally with TSIP packets or
TAIP messages using the MDT port. When the CrossCheck XR operates in mobile tracking
applications, TSIP or TAIP messages are transmitted over a wireless communications link
to the Radio port. TSIP or TAIP input and output is disabled on the MDT port when the
Radio port is used and vice versa.

Note – CrossCheck XR units are factory configured to use TAIP (Trimble ASCII Interface
Protocol) rather than TSIP. To use TSIP instead of TAIP, use the TAIP PR (Protocol)
message to select TSIP as both the input and output protocols for controlling the selected
port.

Placer GPS 455 and Placer GPS 455DR
Product support information, TSIP implementation clarifications, and product-specific
TSIP requirements for Placer GPS 455 and Placer GPS 455DR units are covered in this
section. The Placer GPS 455DR is a Placer GPS 455 with the Heading Sensor Option.

D.8.1

Placer GPS 455/455DR TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for the Placer GPS 455 and Placer
GPS 455DR units by providing product-specific information.
Placer 455/455DR Port Naming Conventions
The TSIP packets for configuring serial ports refer to the first serial port on the unit’s
electronics board as Port A and the second serial port as Port B. The Placer GPS 455 and
Placer GPS 455DR units use descriptive names to label the port connectors on the back
panel of the processing unit. The connector label names reflect the default function
assigned to each port.
Placer GPS units can transmit TSIP data from any serial port, but only one port is used to
transmit TSIP data at any given time. The Placer GPS port currently used to transmit TSIP
data is referred to as Port B in this publication. The Placer GPS RTCM Port is referred to as
Port A in this publication.
Note – Placer GPS operating parameters are configured locally with TSIP packets or TAIP
messages using the MDT port. When the Placer GPS operates in mobile tracking
applications, TSIP packets or TAIP messages are transmitted over a wireless
communications link to the Radio port. TSIP or TAIP input and output is disabled on the
MDT port when the Radio port is used and vice versa.

Note – Placer GPS units are factory configured to use TAIP (Trimble ASCII Interface
Protocol) rather than TSIP. To use TSIP instead of TAIP, use the TAIP PR (Protocol)
message to select TSIP as both the input and output protocols for controlling the selected
port.

Identification
In TSIP, each product is uniquely identified by a product ID and a machine ID, much like
people are named with a first and last name. The machine ID, like a last name, associates
the GPS receiver with a particular family of Trimble receivers. The product ID, like a first
name, uniquely specifies the product within its family. The machine ID is used in Report
Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x4B, and Report Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The product ID is used
in Report Packet 0x45, Report Packet 0x8F 0x64, Report Packet 0x8F 0x7B, and Report
Packet 0x8F 0x8F. The machine and product IDs for the supported products listed above
are defined in Table E-1. Due to hardware feature additions, some of the products listed in
this table have two different sets of hardware associated with them. These products have
two sets of IDs to uniquely identify the hardware used. The product part number (or for
board sets, the part number printed on the PCB) is provided here to help developers
identify which system they may be using.

Key GPS Parameter Settings
Correctly selecting the proper GPS operating parameters is important to get the best
performance from the GPS sensor. Command Packets are available for changing the
receiver setup for the specific conditions of a particular user, including packets:
•

0x22 (Position Fix Mode Command)

•

0x2C (Operating Parameters Command)

•

0x35 (I/O Option Flags Command)

•

0x62 (DGPS Position Fix Mode Command)

The default values for the parameters in these packets allow the Precision Agricultural
receivers to operate under a wide variety of demanding conditions. You can choose to
change the default parameters if the receiver is required to perform only in a specific or
limited environment.
Warning – When the receiver is exposed to operating conditions different from those
described in the setup, performance can be degraded.

TSIP implementation clarifications, default GPS parameter and configuration settings, and
application-specific information for the AgGPS 120 receiver are covered in this appendix.

E.5.1

AgGPS 120 TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for the AgGPS 120 receiver.

AgGPS 120 Port Naming Conventions
The AgGPS 120 receiver features one RS-232 serial port and two RS-422 serial ports. One
RS-422 port (Port 3) is reserved for sending and receiving TSIP packets. The Port 3 is
referred to as Port B in this publication. The Port 1 is referred to as Port A in this
publication.

AgGPS 120 Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 4800 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA, GSA, VTG, and ZDA.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1
stop bit.

AgGPS 120 Key GPS Configuration Parameter Settings
Table E-4 identifies key configuration parameters, their associated command packet, and
default settings. If the receiver fails to operate correctly after changing parameter values,

AgGPS 122
TSIP implementation clarifications, default GPS parameter and configuration settings, and
application-specific information for the AgGPS 122 and AgGPS 122A receivers are
covered in this section.

E.6.1

AgGPS 122 TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for the AgGPS 122 receiver.

AgGPS 122 Port Naming Conventions
The AgGPS 122 serial port connectors are labeled Port A and Port B. These port connector
names are equivalent Port A and Port B names used in this publication. Where ports are
referenced by number, Port A corresponds to port number 1 and Port B corresponds to port
number 0. This publication assumes that Port B is used for TSIP transmissions even
though the user can reverse the communications role of the two ports. Note that when
using TSIP packet 0x3D to configure port parameters, the configuration data applies to the
opposite port from the one the command is issued from.

AgGPS 122 Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 4800 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA, GSA, VTG, and RMC.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1
stop bit.
Maximum Positioning Rate for AgGPS 122 Receivers
The standard AgGPS 122 receiver is manufactured to support a 1 Hz positioning rate.
AgGPS 122 receiver models with the factory-installed 10 Hz option can support
positioning rates of 5 or 10 Hz. The Maximum Positioning Rate can be set using
Command Packet 0x8E 0x7C, Byte 67. You can learn the current positioning rate by
requesting Report Packet 0x8F 0x7C.
Note – The 5 Hz and 10 Hz positioning rates are available only if the 10 Hz Option is
installed on the receiver.

TSIP implementation clarifications for the DSM EuroCard and DSM EuroCard Reference
Station are covered in this section. A DSM EuroCard Reference Station is a DSM
EuroCard with the factory-installed Reference Station Option.

E.9.1

DSM EuroCard TSIP Implementation Clarifications
The following sections clarify the TSIP implementation for the DSM EuroCard and DSM
EuroCard Reference Station.
DSM EuroCard Port Naming Conventions
On the DSM EuroCard and DSM EuroCard Reference Station I/O connector pin-out, pins
3 and 5 correspond to the transmit and receive lines for Port A. Pins 13 and 15 correspond
to the transmit and receive lines for Port B. These port names are equivalent Port A and
Port B names used in this publication. This publication assumes that Port B is used for
TSIP transmissions even though the user can reverse the communications role of the two
ports. Note that when using TSIP packet 0x3D to configure port parameters, the
configuration data applies to the opposite port from the one the command is issued from.
DSM EuroCard Default Port Configurations
The Port A default input protocol is RTCM at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1
stop bit. The default output protocol is NMEA at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, no parity, and
1 stop bit. The default NMEA messages are GGA and VTG.
Port B defaults to TSIP input and output at 9600 baud with 8 data bits, odd parity, and 1
stop bit.
DSM EuroCard Key Configuration Parameter Default Settings
The default settings for key configuration parameters are identical to the DSM and DSM
Reference Station settings. For more information, see DSM and DSM Reference Station
on page C-17.

NMEA-0183 Messages

Trimble receivers can output a selection of NMEA-0183 messages. NMEA-0183
messages are normally generated and output to Port A, allowing the receiver to interface
with external instruments. Only the NMEA-0183 standard and Trimble proprietary
messages configured using TSIP command packets are described here. Some Trimble
products support additional NMEA-0183 standard messages and Trimble proprietary
messages which cannot be configured using TSIP command packets. These are described
separately in the receiver’s operation manual.

F.1

NMEA-0183 Message Structure
NMEA-0183 messages are strings of comma-delimited text. Figure F-1 shows the structure
of an NMEA-0183 message.

Each NMEA message includes a message ID to distinguish the message from other NMEA
messages in the data stream. The actual data included in NMEA-0183 messages is placed
in fields. An NMEA message contains several fields, and each field is preceded by a
comma character. The sample message in Figure F-1 contains six fields. The NMEA
messages include a checksum value which is useful for checking the integrity of the data
included in the message.
The message structure of the sample ZDA message, shown below and the message fields
are described in Table F-1.
$GPZDA,220320.0,26,06,1997,00,00*52
Table F-1

Sample ZDA Message Structure

Field

Description

1

Time, in UTC. (220320.0 in the sample message)

2

Day, 01 to 31. (26 in the sample message)

3

Month, 01 to 12. (06 in the sample message)

4

Year. (1997 in the sample message)

5

Local time zone offset from GMT, 00 to ±13 hours. (00 in the sample
message)

6

Local time zone offset from GMT, minutes. Fields 5 and 6, together, yield the
total offset. For example, if field 5 is ’-5’ and field 6 is ‘15’, local time is
5 hours and 15 minutes earlier than GMT. (00 in the sample message)

The NMEA-0183 message examples in this chapter are presented in the format shown in
Table F-1. The structure of each sample message is shown in the paragraphs preceding the
message structure table.
The numbers in the Field column represent the message fields in left-to-right order. Field 1
is the first field following the first comma delimiter. In the sample message, field 1
contains the UTC Time value (220320.0). The last field in the message is preceded by the
last comma in the message (00 in the sample message).

F.1.1

Symbols and Delimiters
All messages conform to the NMEA-0183 Version 2.1 format. Symbols and delimiters are
used to identify or separate the various kinds of data included in the message.
NMEA-0183 messages always begin with a dollar sign character ($) followed by a talker
ID code and a message ID code. For the sample ZDA message, GP is the talker ID, and
ZDA is the message ID.

The string of comma delimited text immediately following the message ID code is
composed of fields containing data. Each field is followed by a comma character ( , ). For
the sample message, the data fields are shown below:
220320.0,26,06,1997,00,00
The first field contains the UTC time value (220320.0), the second field contains the Day
value (26), and so on.

TSIP Reference Volume 2

F

NMEA-0183 Messages

NMEA-0183 messages include a checksum value which is preceded by an asterisk
character (*). For more information about checksum values, see section F.1.2 on page F-3.
NMEA-0183 messages are always terminated with a carriage return and line feed. The
carriage return and line feed pair marks the end of the message.

F.1.2

Checksum Values
Newer Trimble receivers conform to NMEA-0183 Version 2.1 which states that checksums
are mandatory for all messages. Checksum values are always included in output messages,
but are optional for input messages.
Checksum values are used to verify the integrity of the data included in the message. The
sample message, shown in Table F-1, includes a checksum value. An asterisk character (*)
is used to delimit the last data field from the checksum value (52 in the sample message).
The checksum is the 8-bit exclusive OR of all characters in the message, between but not
including the ‘$’ and ‘*’ delimiters. Commas are also included. The hexadecimal result is
converted to two ASCII characters (0-9, A-F). The most significant character appears first.

F.1.3

Field Formats
The data values included in fields meet the format specifications established for the
NMEA-0183, Version 2.1 standard.

F.1.4

Null Fields
Null fields are included in some NMEA messages when no data is available for a particular
field. Null fields are empty and are usually reserved for transmitting data on a periodic or
irregular basis. The comma delimiter for the Null field is immediately followed by the
comma delimiter for the next field in the message string.
The inclusion of Null fields in a message is important because many NMEA messages
contain a fixed number of fields. NMEA message interpreters (software for processing
NMEA messages) expect to find a fixed number of fields in these messages, and specific
kinds of data in each field. The message processing software assumes that no data is
available for a particular field when a Null field is encountered while interpreting a
message.

Talker ID Codes
The Talker ID code identifies the source of the data (GPS, Loran C, Sounder, etc.). The
NMEA-0183 standard defines 35 Talker ID codes. The Talker ID codes available for

Note – Older marine electronic equipment, designed prior to the introduction of GPS may
only accept the LC Talker ID. The Trimble receivers are designed to support the LC Talker
ID to remain compatible with older equipment interfaces.

F.1.6

Latitude and Longitude Values
The latitude and longitude values included in NMEA messages are presented in degrees,
minutes, and decimal minutes. Latitude is presented as ddmm.mmmm in a single field,
and longitude is presented as dddmm.mmmm in a single field. Within the field, degree
values are in dd or ddd format, and minutes and fractions of minutes are in mm.mmmm
format.
Latitude and longitude direction values (north, south, east, or west) are placed in a separate
field. Direction is a single character: ‘N’, ‘S’, ‘E’, or ‘W’ for North, South, East, or West.

F.1.7

Time Values
Time values are in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated), and are inserted in message strings
in hhmmss.ss format, where hh is hours (from 00–23), mm is minutes, and ss.ss is seconds
and fractions of seconds.
