Prove one Box fix
Send one L, line whose status bit 2 is clear on 5065 and verify a map point.
Still offline after GPS lock
Box still not landing
- Box aimed at the wrong port
Box on 5065 is not Trackbox a=connect or Topflytech on 5047.
- Session up, empty map
Status bit 2 must be clear. Bit 2 set is invalid and will not plot. An L, line also needs a prior H, bind.
- CR stripped, no parse
This dialect frames on CR. A logger that converts CR to LF will not match.
FAQ
Box leftover questions
Does Box send Concox 0x7878 frames?
No. Box is CR CSV that opens H, or L,G,. Concox families use 0x7878 binary login.
Which status bit voids a Box fix?
Bit 2 set means invalid. A clear bit 2 plots.
Does Box send an ACK?
Event lines that open E, are answered A, plus the rest of the line. An L, line has no reply.
What binds a Box unit?
An H, line whose second CSV field is the unit id. An L, line without that bind will not plot.
