+<BR>Reference ID: <TT>GPS</TT>
+<BR>Driver ID: <TT>GPS_MX4200</TT>

+Description</H4>
+This driver supports the Magnavox MX4200 Navigation Receiver adapted to
+precision timing applications. It requires the <TT>ppsclock</TT> line
+discipline or streams module described in the <A HREF="ldisc.htm">Line
+Disciplines and Streams Modules</A> page. It also requires a <A
+HREF="gadget.htm">gadget box</A> and 1-PPS level converter, such as
+described in the <A HREF="pps.htm">Pulse-per-second (PPS) Signal
+Interfacing</A> page.
+
+<P>This driver supports all compatible receivers such as the 6-channel
+MX4200, MX4200D, and the 12-channel MX9212, MX9012R, MX9112.

+Operating Modes</H4>
+This driver supports two modes of operation, static and mobile, controlled
+by clock flag 2.
+
+<P>In static mode (the default) the driver assumes that the GPS antenna
+is in a fixed location. The receiver is initially placed in a "Static,
+3D Nav" mode, where latitude, longitude, elevation and time are calculated
+for a fixed station. A DOP-weighted running average position is calculated
+from this data. After 24 hours, the receiver is placed into a "Known Position"
+mode, initialized with the calculated position, and then solves only for
+time.
+
+<P>In mobile mode, the driver assumes the GPS antenna is mounted on a moving
+platform such as a car, ship, or aircraft. The receiver is placed in "Dynamic,
+3D Nav" mode and solves for position, altitude and time while moving. No
+position averaging is performed.
+<H4>
+Monitor Data</H4>
+The driver writes each timecode as received to the <TT>clockstats</TT>
+file. Documentation for the <CITE>NMEA-0183</CITE> proprietary
+sentences produced by the MX4200 can be found in
+<A HREF="mx4200data.htm">MX4200 Receiver Data Format</A>.
