uint32_t novatel_gps_driver::NovatelMessageExtractor::CalculateBlockCRC32 ( uint32_t  ulCount,
const uint8_t *  ucBuffer 
) [private]

Calculates the CRC-32 of a block of data all at once.

Parameters:
ulCountNumber of bytes in the data block
ucBufferData block
Returns:
CRC-32 of the data block

Definition at line 71 of file novatel_message_extractor.cpp.

Calculates the CRC-32 of a single value.

Parameters:
iThe value to process
Returns:
That value's CRC-32

Definition at line 56 of file novatel_message_extractor.cpp.

bool novatel_gps_driver::NovatelMessageExtractor::ExtractCompleteMessages ( const std::string  input,
std::vector< NmeaSentence > &  nmea_sentences,
std::vector< NovatelSentence > &  novatel_sentences,
std::vector< BinaryMessage > &  binary_messages,
std::string &  remaining,
bool  keep_nmea_container = false 
)

Extracts messages from a buffer of NovAtel data.

This will search through the "input" string for any valid NMEA or NovAtel ASCII messages as well as any binary NovAtel messages, place them into the provided containers, and also provide any leftover bytes at the end of the buffer that were not part of a valid sentence.

Parameters:
[in]inputA buffer of data to search for messages
[out]nmea_sentencesNMEA sentences found in the buffer
[out]novatel_sentencesASCII NovAtel sentences found in the buffer
[out]binary_messagesBinary NovAtel message found in the buffer
[out]remainingAny bytes left after the last complete sentence in the buffer
[in]keep_nmea_container"true" to preserve message begin & end markers around parsed NMEA sentences
Returns:
false if there were any errors parsing sentences

void novatel_gps_driver::NovatelMessageExtractor::FindAsciiSentence ( const std::string &  sentence,
size_t  current_idx,
size_t &  start_idx,
size_t &  end_idx,
size_t &  invalid_char_idx 
) [private]

Searches for a valid ASCII message within a string.

What constitutes a valid ASCII message is defined by: http://docs.novatel.com/OEM7/Content/Messages/ASCII.htm

We check whether a substring: 1) Starts with '#' or '$' 2) Ends with "\r\n" 3) Between those values, only contains characters with an ASCII value of 9, 10, 11, 13, or between 32 and 126 (inclusive)

Parameters:
[in]sentenceThe string to search within
[in]current_idxThe position in the string to search from
[out]start_idxThe position of the earliest '#' or '$', if found
[out]end_idxThe position of the first '' after the start, if "\r\n" was found
[out]invalid_char_idxIf an invalid character was found between the start and end, its index

Parameters:
[in]strThe data buffer to search through.

[out]msgThe parsed message.
Returns:
>0: the number of bytes parsed into the message -1: Not enough data was available to parse the whole message -2: The message's checksum was invalid

Definition at line 545 of file novatel_message_extractor.cpp.

Iterates through the provided messages to find the first GPGGA or GPRMC message with a valid UTC time, then returns it.

Parameters:
[in]sentencesA list of NMEA sentences to search for UTC times.
