BESTVELTYPE

Sets the velocity used in the BESTVEL and GPVTG logs

Platform:

OEM719, OEM729, OEM7500, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7, SMART2

This command configures the source of the velocity that is output in the BESTVEL and GPVTG logs. Set the type to something other than BESTPOS when an unchanging velocity source with specific characteristics is needed.

The Doppler velocity is the highest-availability, lowest-latency velocity available from the receiver. Due to its low latency, it is also the noisiest velocity.

When the RADARCONFIG command is enabled, the BESTVELTYPE mode is set to DOPPLER.
