   HARD- AND SOFTWARE FOR DISTRIBUTION OF GPS/GNSS DATA OVER NETWORK

OPTIONS FOR GNSS/GPS DATA DISTRIBUTION


  1. Using "gpsd": https://gpsd.gitlab.io/gpsd/ --- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gpsd
    Problem: This software is based on Linux, so on Win platform, cygwin must first be installed.
  2. Using commercial GPS distributors, like Gps gate or Eltima producs

PROGRAM


Software


Software has been tested with two different GNSS receivers:

  1. "Navilock NL-8004U USB 2.0 Multi GNSS Receiver u-blox 8 4.5 m", P/N: 62531
    • Following idiosyncrasies found:
      • GGA telegram: Number of satellites is limited to 12 -- even though the total number of GPS and GNSS SVs used in solution, is larger then 12. And the number of GPS SVs used can be less then 12, if the point of this limitation was to show only the number of GPS satellites. So this parameter is of very limited use - instead, get total number of SVs used in solution from GNS telegram. And use GSA telegram to distinguish between the number of GPS and GLONASS satellites.
        This means that consumers of data - like the program that controls firing of Mini-GUNCO - should fetch number of satellites from GNS if available, and from GGA if not.
      • Note that HDOP value is identical in GGA and GNS telegram.
  2. HOLUX M-215+
    • Following idiosyncrasies found:
      • GGA telegram: Number of satellites parameter shows the total correct number - the sum of GPS and GLONASS SVs - even though the ID of the telegram ($GP) indicates GPS parameters. So consumers that detects this GNSS receiver (e.g. by lack of GNS data), should get number of satellites from GGA.
      • GSA telegram can be used to show distribution of GPS- and GLONASS satellites used in solution. But GSA telegrams are only emitted every 5th second. This means that consumers of data must somehow preserve the last GSA telegrams, and utilize these in the period when GSA are absent (possibly implementing some sort of age control also). This is taken care of in Mini-GUNCO software, in case the HOLUX M-215+ receiver is used (only in an emergency - normally, the latest GNSS receiver, "Navilock NL-8004U u-blox 8" P/N: 62531, should be the preferred model).

Fig. 1: Starting GNSS/GPS data collection and distribution program:
  • First listening for NMEA GNSS/GPS telegrams on available COM ports, also determining bitrate.
  • Then analyzing the stream of NMEA telegrams that arrives, in order to determine the last telegram in each "batch" (a batch of different NMEA telegrams arrives at each time instance, in our case each second). This is necessary in order to only extract and forward information tied to a specific second, and not mix data that belongs to different time instances. True, it would not be a catastrophe if such mixing occurred since our application is geophysical data collection where location does not change that fast - it's more a matter of principle. And since different models of GNSS/GPS-receivers seem to vary with regard to start- and end NMEA telegrams for block delineation, auto-detecting this property makes software adjustments that was done before, a thing of the past.

Fig. 2: Completing start-up procedure and starting normal acquisition and distribution:
  • Last telegram in batch found - in this case, $GNZDA.
  • Creating objects and threads.
  • When attempting to send broadcast UDP telegram on network interface, it was seen that external network interface was not activated, so reverting to only internal network. Should external network interface become active, the program will automatically start using it (providing notification).

HOLUX M-215+


Update 12 Feb, 2020:
Unfortunately, the manufacturer Holux decided to vanish without a trace. Distributor Amazon reports: "Currently unavailable. We don't know when or if this item will be back in stock." Customers who have earlier acquired Holux product are upset as this affects warranty issues, among other things - here is an example: https://holux.info/holux-com-is-offline/

HOLUX M-215+

This unit appears as a COM-device. Since there are many new types of NMEA telegrams - and we are not sure if all telegram types output GNSS-quality data, we should split the GPS data stream and direct one for logging to disk, and the other to Chirp Sonar program. In that way we can post-process all raw navigation data - not only the (possible) sub-set that Chirp Sonar program deals with. (Many uncertain factors here !!)
