     32     <h4>Description</h4>
     33 
     34     <p>
     35       This driver supports GPS receivers with
     36       the <tt>$GPRMC</tt>, <tt>$GPGLL</tt>, <tt>$GPGGA</tt>, <tt>$GPZDA</tt>
     37       and <tt>$GPZDG</tt> NMEA sentences by default.&nbsp; Note that Accord's
     38       custom NMEA sentence <tt>$GPZDG</tt> reports using the GPS timescale,
     39       while the rest of the sentences report UTC.&nbsp; The difference between
     40       the two is a whole number of seconds which increases with each leap
     41       second insertion in UTC.&nbsp; To avoid problems mixing UTC and GPS
     42       timescales, the driver disables processing of UTC sentences
     43       once <tt>$GPZDG</tt> is received.
     44       <br>
     45       <strong>Caveat:</strong> Please see <a href="#talkerids">Talker
     46       IDs</a> when using non-GPS or multi-system receivers.
     47     </p>
     48     <p>
     49       The driver expects the receiver to be set up to transmit at least one
     50       supported sentence every second.
     51     </p>
     52     <p>
     53       The accuracy depends on the receiver used. Inexpensive GPS models are
     54       available with a claimed PPS signal accuracy of
     55       1 &mu;s or better relative to the broadcast
     56       signal. However, in most cases the actual accuracy is limited by the
     57       precision of the timecode and the latencies of the serial interface and
     58       operating system.
     59     </p>
     60     <p>
     61       If the Operating System supports PPSAPI
     62       (<a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2783.txt">RFC 2783</a>), fudge flag1
     63       1 enables its use.
     64     </p>
     65     <p>
     66       The various GPS sentences that this driver recognises look like this:<br>

    212     <h4><a name="talkerids"/>NMEA Talker IDs</h4>
    213     
    214     <p>
    215       GNSS receivers use a distinct talker ID for the GNSS they
    216       process. Receivers capable of tracking different systems at the same time
    217       can emit <tt>$GPRMC</tt> (GPS), <tt>$GLRMC</tt> (GLONASS),
    218       <tt>$GARMC</tt> (Galileo), <tt>$GNRMC</tt> (generic/combined) and others
    219       all in one data stream.
    220     </p><p>
    221       The driver supports this to a certain degree by ignoring the
    222       talker ID on the standard sentences RMC, GLL, GGA, ZDA and ZDG. (It
    223       possibly should not do that on the latter, but for now, that's the way
    224       it is.) So whenever <tt>$GPRMC</tt> is mentioned in this document,
    225       substitute any possible talker ID your receiver might emit -- it will
    226       still match.
    227     </p><p>
    228       This approach has a drawback. It is easy to use for single-system
    229       receivers, but it cannot separate the data streams for multi-system
    230       receiver modules. It is therefore undefined which GNSS actually
    231       provides the data, and this can lead to strange behavior. This is
    232       especially true if the different GNSS provide very different signal
    233       quality to the receiver; the driver is not able to cherry-pick the best
    234       source and might actually end up in using the worst available.  It is
    235       therefore recommended to set up such a receiver to either use just a
    236       single GNSS (which would defeat its purpose) or to emit only the
    237       combined data, which usually has the <tt>GN</tt> talker ID defined by
    238       the NMEA standard.

    367       The default (mode 0) is to process all supported sentences at a linespeed
    368       of 4800 bps, which results in the first one received and recognised in
    369       each cycle being used.&nbsp; If only specific sentences should be
    370       recognised, then the mode byte must be chosen to enable only the selected
    371       ones.&nbsp; Multiple sentences may be selected by adding their mode bit
    372       values, but of those enabled still only the first received sentence in a
    373       cycle will be used.&nbsp; Using more than one sentence per cycle is
    374       impossible, because
    375       </p><ul>
    376 	<li>there is only <a href="#fudgetime2">fudge time2</a> available to
    377 	  compensate for transmission delays but every sentence would need a

    380 	  filters.
    381       </li></ul>
    382       The driver uses 4800 bits per second by default, but faster bitrates can
    383       be selected using bits 4 to 6 of the mode field.

    388       increase the precision of the timing device.&nbsp; Higher line speeds are
    389       not necessarily helpful for the NMEA driver, either.&nbsp; They can be
    390       used to accomodate for an amount of data that does not fit into a
    391       1-second cycle at 4800 bps, but high-speed high-volume NMEA data is likely
    392       to cause trouble with the serial line driver since NMEA supports no
    393       protocol handshake.&nbsp; Any device that is exclusively used for time
    394       synchronisation purposes should be configured to transmit the relevant
    395       data only, e.g. one <tt>$GPRMC</tt> or <tt>$GPZDA</tt> per second, at a
    396       linespeed of 4800 bps or 9600 bps.

    399     <h4><a name="datetrust"/>About distrusting NMEA date stamps</h4>
    400     <p>
    401       Trusting the calendar dates delivered via NMEA is a risky thing, and by
    402       default these dates are handled with a huge dose of skepticism.  Many
    403       receivers deliver a correct calendar date for a period of just 1024 weeks,
    404       with a starting point baked somewhere into their firmware.  Beyond that,
    405       they warp back to the begin of their era and simply provide wrong date
    406       information.  To battle this widely observed effect, the date delivered is
    407       by default reduced to GPS time again and then (re-)mapped according to the
    408       base date, either the implicit value or the value set via "tos basedate".
    409       If the receiver can <em>really</em> be trusted to deliver the right date
    410       (which is not impossible, just more expensive for the manufacturer), then
    411       mode bit 18 can be used to bypass the era mapping.  Setting this bit is
    412       not needed under most circumstances, and setting it with an unreliable
    413       receiver can have severe effects. Handle with care.
    414     </p><p>
    415       <strong>Note:</strong> This functionality was available for some time as
    416       undocumented feature, with a different bit value.  It was moved in the
    417       process of becoming officially acknowledged to avoid excessive scattering
    418       of the mode bit mask.
    419     </p>

    422     <h4>Monitor Data</h4>
    423 
    424     <p>The last GPS sentence that is accepted or rejected is written to the
    425     clockstats file and available with <code>ntpq -c clockvar</code>.
    426     (Logging the rejected sentences lets you see/debug why they were rejected.)
    427     Filtered sentences are not logged.</p>
    428 
    429     <p>
    430       If the 0x10000 mode bit is on and clockstats is enabled, several extra
    431       counters will be appended to the NMEA sentence that gets logged.
    432       For example:
