GSOF messages

GSOF Messages: Overview

Applicable receivers: All receivers

These topics provide information on the General Serial Output Format (GSOF) messages. GSOF messages are a Trimble proprietary format and can be used to send information such as position and status to a third-party device.

This table summarizes the GSOF messages that the receiver supports. When GSOF output is enabled, the following messages can be generated:

Message	Message #	Function
Position Time	01	Position time
Lat, Long, Height	02	Latitude, longitude, height
ECEF Position	03	ECEF Position
Local LLH	04	Local datum position - latitude, longitude, height
Local ENU	05	Local zone north, east, and height - projection/calibration based
Delta ECEF	06	Earth-Centered, Earth-Fixed Delta position
TPlane ENU	07	Tangent Plane Delta
Velocity	08	Velocity data
DOP Info	09	PDOP info
Clock Info	10	Clock info
Position VCV	11	Position VCV info
Position Sigma	12	Position sigma information
Brief SV Info	13	GPS SV brief info
Detail SV Info	14	Detailed satellite information
Receiver Serial	15	Receiver serial number
Current Time UTC	16	Current UTC time
Attitude Info	27	Attitude info
Brief All SV Info	33	SV brief info (all satellite systems)
Detail All SV	34	Detailed satellite information for all tracked satellites (all tracked satellite systems)
Received Base	35	Received information about the base station
Battery/Memory Info	37	Receiver battery and memory status
Position Type Information	38	Position Type information

INS RMS	50	INS RMS information
Event Markers	51	Event Marker information
Code Lat, Long, Ht	62	LLH from the code (pseudorange) position solution
Lat, Long, MSL Height	70	Latitude, longitude, MSL height

NOTES –

The receiver allows a maximum of ten GSOF messages to be output.

The position output by the receiver is the Antenna Phase Center position. You may want to reduce this position to a reference position elsewhere. If so, you should account for any tilt of the antenna in such a reduction. The settings for the Antenna Measurement Method and Antenna Height are not applied to the position outputs.
