Extended Event Reports
Extended reports include additional data fields beyond position and time, using the extended tag system.
Tag Groups
The Antares 4G supports 3 independent tag groups (A, B, C) configurable with XAEF:
>SXAEFA;AL;BL;SV< <- Group A: altitude, battery, satellites
>SXAEFB;CE;CL;CS< <- Group B: ignition time, idle time, over-speed time
>SXAEFC;VO;VH;IX< <- Group C: odometer, hourmeter, I/O state
Using Tags in Events
Specify the tag group in the event type field:
| Event Type | Handler | Tags Included |
|---|---|---|
V | EV-Frame | Position and time only |
A | group A | Position + time + Group A tags |
B | group B | Position + time + Group B tags |
C | group C | Position + time + Group C tags |
>SED00NA0;F00+< <- Ignition ON: include group A tags
>SED01NB0;F00-< <- Ignition OFF: include group B tags
Example Report with Tags
A report with Group A configured as AL;BL;SV:
>R...; ... ;AL=150,BL=3820,SV=9<
