GPS::PRN(3)

NAME
GPS::PRN - Package for PRN - Object ID conversions.

SYNOPSIS
  use GPS::PRN;
  my $obj = GPS::PRN->new();
  print "PRN: ", $obj->prn_oid(22231), "\n";
  print "OID: ", $obj->oid_prn(1), "\n";

DESCRIPTION
This module maps GPS PRN number to Satellite OID and vice versa.

  Object Identification Number (OID)
The catalog number assigned to the object by the US Air Force. The numbers are assigned sequentially as objects are cataloged. This is the most common way to search for TLE data on this site.

Object numbers less then 10000 are always aligned to the right, and padded with zeros or spaces to the left.

  Pseudo Random Numbers (PRNs)
GPS satellites are identified by the receiver by means of PRN-numbers. Real GPS satellites are numbered from 1 - 32. WAAS/EGNOS satellites and other pseudolites are assigned higher numbers. The PRN-numbers of the satellites appear on the satellite view screens of many GPS receivers.

CONVENTIONS
Function naming convention is "format of the return" underscore "format of the parameters."

CONSTRUCTOR

  new
The new() constructor

  my $obj = GPS::PRN->new();

METHODS

  prn_oid
PRN given Object ID.

  my $prn=prn_oid(22231);

  oid_prn
Object ID given PRN.

  my $oid=oid_prn(1);

  listprn
List all known PRNs.

  my @prn=$obj->listprn;
  my $prn=$obj->listprn;

  listoid
List all known OIDs.

  my @oid=$obj->listoid;
  my $oid=$obj->listoid;

  data
OID to PRN hash reference

  my $data=$self->data;

  overload
Adds or overloads new OID/PRN pairs.

  $obj->overload($oid=>$prn);

  reset
