HEIGHT Element

Used to specify height settings for the GPS in ArcPadPrefs.apx.

HEIGHT

Used to specify height settings for the GPS in ArcPadPrefs.apx.

antennaheight optional xs:double

The antenna height specified in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad, in meters. This value is subtracted from the height reported by the GPS receiver.

geiodseparation optional xs:double

The geoid separation specified in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad, in meters. This value is subtracted from the height reported by the GPS receiver.

units optional xs:string

The units code that specifies height units for the geoid separation and antenna height in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad.

usemapunits optional Restriction of xs:string

Specifies whether to use the units of the map's coordinate system when storing GPS elevation. If the coordinate system's units are degrees, the height units are meters.

Name	Type	Use	Default	Description
antennaheight	xs:double	optional	0.0	The antenna height specified in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad, in meters. This value is subtracted from the height reported by the GPS receiver.
geiodseparation	xs:double	optional	0.0	The geoid separation specified in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad, in meters. This value is subtracted from the height reported by the GPS receiver.
units	xs:string	optional		The units code that specifies height units for the geoid separation and antenna height in the GPS Height page of the GPS Preferences dialog in ArcPad.
usemapunits	Restriction of xs:string	optional	true	Specifies whether to use the units of the map's coordinate system when storing GPS elevation. If the coordinate system's units are degrees, the height units are meters.

The units, geoidseparation, and antennaheight attributes are used to calculate the reported GPS height.
The reported GPS height is calculated as FEATUREHEIGHT = GPSHEIGHT - GEOIDSEPARATION - ANTENNAHEIGHT, where:
FEATUREHEIGHT = reported/stored GPS elevation (Z-value in ShapeZ files)
GPSHEIGHT = height reported by the GPS receiver (HAE, where available)
GEOIDSEPARATION = value specified in geoidseparation attribute
ANTENNAHEIGHT = value specified in antennaheight attribute
