To display the present antenna position using ECEF XYZ coordinates in meters, use the following 
format:

XLi responds using the following format:

Use function F51 to display or configure the GPS antenna cable delay. Setting a positive value for F51 
compensates for the time the signal takes to travel the length of the cable from the GPS antenna to the 
receiver. When multiple GPS receivers are installed, a separate value can be set for each unique 
receiver. The factory setting for F51 is +60 ns, which corresponds to the 50-foot (15.24-meter) long RG-
