Or just wait and see how well the location it finds matches your current data. The Z3801A manual is easy to find and contains a good description of the SCPI commands. Yes, I think there is a way to load the location and bypass the survey. I think there is a slot in Satsat where you can type in commands by hand. You don't need Satsat. You can talk to it from the command line. On Linux, for a Z3801A, I do things like: ln -s /dev/ttyS2 /dev/hpgps1 stty -F /dev/hpgps1 19200 cs7 parodd parenb igncr stty -F /dev/hpgps1 19200 oddp igncr -echo On one window: cat /dev/hpgps1 On another window: echo -e ":ptime:tcode:format F2" > /dev/hpgps1 echo -e ":diag:gps:utc 1" > /dev/hpgps1 # Needs reboot? echo -e ":SYSTEM:STATUS?" > /dev/hpgps1 # fix for week wrap - maybe only works before survey echo -e ":GPS:INIT:DATE 2011,12,26" > /dev/hpgps1 -- These are my opinions.
