TRACK YOUR ADS E-MAIL DATA DECODING
 

 
  The ADS E-Mail format depends on the transmitters that you are using. Here is the decoding for the mostly used transmitters.

ADS for AGT-C
A typical message, as displayed by Eudora, looks like:

Considering the highlighted data set here is how to read it:


 
05768   ID code of the transmitter (unique reference)
51.878N   Latitude of the transmitter (in degrees and thousands of degrees, N=North, S=South)
4.442E   Longitude of the transmitter (in degrees and thousands of degrees, E=East, W=West)
1   Quality index of the position
206   Day of the message (206= 206th day in the year, i.e.25 of July in 2000 )
1147
  Time of the message (11H47 GMT time)
206   Day of the position (206= 206th day in the year, i.e.25 of July in 2000 )
0815
  Time of the position (8H15 GMT time)
(0)
  Compression index of the message (0=not used)
FC
  1st data field : not used
0.13412E+2
  2nd data field : battery voltage (13,4V)
0.29510E+2   3rd data field : temperature (29,5°C)
00   4th data field : not used

  ADS for ACT-AL

The ACT-AL is more complex than the AGT-C since sensors maybe different, depending on what you plug into the transmitter. A typical message, as displayed by Eudora, looks like:

Considering the highlighted data set here is how to read it:
 

16511   ID code of the transmitter (unique reference)
54.823N   Latitude of the transmitter (in degrees and thousands of degrees, N=North, S=South)
9.356E   Longitude of the transmitter (in degrees and thousands of degrees, E=East, W=West)
3   Quality index of the position
206   Day of the message (206= 206th day in the year, i.e.25 of July in 2000 )
0633   Time of the message (06H33 GMT time)
206   Day of the position (206= 206th day in the year, i.e.25 of July in 2000 )
0632   Time of the position (6H32 GMT time)
(1)   Compression index of the message (1=message received once)
01   1st data field : Relay 6 status
01   2nd data field : Relay 5 status
01   3rd data field : Relay 4 status
01   4th data field : Relay 3 status
01   5th data field : Relay 2 status
00   6th data field : Relay 1 status
00   7th data field : Not used
0.13051E+3   8th data field : 0-5V input
01   9th data field : Relay 6 status
01   10th data field : Relay 5 status
01   11th data field : Relay 4 status
01   12th data field : Relay 3 status
01   13th data field : Relay 2 status
00   14th data field : Relay 1 status
00   15th data field : Not used
0.14118E+2   16th data field : 0-15V input (14,1)
0.18240E+2   17th data field : 0-1V input (18,2)
47   18th data field : Checksum
