  1. The number of satellites used in the navigation solution.
  2. Time since midnight. This is a count of 10 ms intervals since midnight UTC. (5383690 = 53836.90 seconds since midnight or 14 hours, 57 minutes and 16.90 seconds).
  3. Position, Latitude * 100_000 (311924579 = 51 Degrees, 59.24579 Minutes North). This is a true 32 bit signed integer, North being positive.
  4. Position, Longitude * 100_000 (11882246 = 0 Degrees, 58.82246 Minutes West). This is a true 32 bit signed integer, West being positive.
  5. Ground speed, 0.01 kts per bit.
  6. 2-D heading, 0.01° per bit.
  7. Altitude above mean sea level based on the WGS 84 model of the earth, 0.01 m per bit, signed.
  8. Vertical velocity, 0.01 m/s per bit, signed.
  9. The percentage of free space available on the media.
  10. First status flags (see table below).
  11. Second status flags (see table below).
  12. Longitudinal Acceleration, 0.01 g per bit, signed.
  13. Lateral Acceleration, 0.01 g per bit, signed.
  14. Distance travelled since Pit Lane Timer reset, 0.01 m per bit.
  15. In 'Entry to Exit Mode', this starts counting down from when the vehicle crosses the pit entry point. In 'Stationary in pit mode', this starts counting down once the vehicle is stationary in the pit box. In both cases, the value is retained until the applicable time to start counting down occurs again.
  16. Total time taken from the pit entry to the pit exit in ms. While in the pits, the total entry to exit time is a counter of time since entering the pits. When outside of the pit lane, it  retains the total entry to exit time for the last pit stop. Resets on pit entry.
  17. Total time taken from the pit box to the pit exit in ms. This updates once the pit exit has been crossed.
  18. Total session time in ms.
  19. Delta time in ms from the pit box to the pit exit. The final delta time is retained until the pit entry point is crossed.
  20. Current state. Bit 0 = On Track, Bit 1 = Entered the pit lane, Bit 2 = Stopped in the pits, Bit 3 = Going to exit, Bit 4 = entry to exit mode Bit 5 = stationary in pits mode.
  21. Numeric values for LED behaviour. Bit 0 = Red, Bit 1 = Green, Bit 2 = Blue.
