8.1 How to convert the coordinates
In order to convert coordinates from degrees, minutes, seconds format to
decimal format, use this easy formula:
degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)
The example coordinate above (UL) would be calculated as:
In our example:
Latitude (LR) = 10°52’55” N
Longitude (LR) = 50°42’44” W
Latitude (UL)
X° Y' Z'' = [10 + (52/60) + (55/3600)] = 10.8819// Latitude (UL)
X° No conversion required
Longitude (UL)
X° Y' Z'' = [50 + (42/60) + (44/3600)] = 50.7122// Longitude (UL)
X° No conversion required
The example coordinate above (LR) would be calculated as:
In our example:
Latitude (LR) = 10°57’14” N
Longitude (LR) = 50°40’18” W
Latitude (LR)
X° Y' Z'' = [10 + (57/60) + (14/3600)] = 10.9538 // Latitude (LR)
X° No conversion required
Longitude (LR)
X° Y' Z'' = [50 + (40/60) + (18/3600)] = 50.6716// Longitude (LR)
X° No conversion required
8.1.1 What to do if the defined password of device fails ?
The NMEA message in the table below is mainly intended for use if the
parameter [PWD] has been specified, and you have forgotten the specified
password of STEPP device. In this case no configuration could not be made via
SMS commands.
Command $PSRF108,PWD=*XX
$PSRF108,PWD*XX
Examples $PSRF108,PWD=tommy001*6B
$PSRF108,PWD*41
Command Description
This command has to be sent only locally to the STEPP device (by
connecting the device to a PC/laptop). After the password is specified or
deleted, the device can be accessed remotely via SMS.
Parameter Description
It allows you to define the password of device.
