N/S Hemisphere

String

‘N’ or ‘S’ for northern or southern hemisphere

Latitude

Double

Latitude in the unit defined by the GeographicalUnit property of the DeviceLocation Variable of the AutoID Device defined in 6.1.3.12.

E/W Hemisphere

String

‘E’ or ‘W’ for eastern or western hemisphere

Longitude

Double

Longitude in the unit by the GeographicalUnit property of the DeviceLocation Variable of the AutoID Device defined in 6.1.3.12.

Altitude

Double

DilutionOfPrecision

Double

DOP is a value for the variance of the measurements delivered by the location system. The calculation of the value depends on the underlying system and is vendor specific. Values should be in accordance with the implementations like in GNSS systems.

UsefulPrecisionLatLon

Int32

Values for Latitude and Longitude should be rounded by the client application to the n-th position after the decimal point.

It specifies the number of useful digits after the decimal place.

UsefulPrecisionAlt

Int32

Values for Altitude should be rounded by the client application to the n-th position after the decimal point.

It specifies the number of useful digits after the decimal place.

Its representation in the AddressSpace is defined in Table 72.
