USERDATUM

Sets user customized ellipsoid and datum transformation

Platform:

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

This command is like the USEREXPDATUM command but without parameter rates. See the USEREXPDATUM command for details on command usage and parameter meaning.

When the USERDATUM command is entered, the USEREXPDATUM command is issued internally with the USERDATUM command values. It is the USEREXPDATUM command that appears in the RXCONFIG log. Only a single set of USEREXPDATUM or USERDATUM entered parameters is valid at one time. Newer parameters entered by either command will overwrite previously entered parameters.

See the DATUM command for important guidance and details on datum operation.
