9 Additional services

9.1.1 TIME? ⁞  Request current time information

ExpressLink modules must provide time information as available from SNTP, GPS, or cellular network sources. Note that devices can choose to maintain a time reference internally, even when disconnected or in sleep mode, depending on implementation-specific software or hardware capabilities.

Returns:
9.1.1.1   OK {date YYYY/MM/DD} {time hh:mm:ss.xx} {source}

If time information is available and recently obtained, the module returns it.

9.1.1.2   ERR15 TIME NOT AVAILABLE

If a recent time fix could not be obtained, the module returns 'TIME NOT AVAILABLE'.

9.1.2 WHERE? ⁞  Request location information

ExpressLink modules can optionally provide last location information as available from GPS, GNSS, cellular networks, or other triangulation methods. A timestamp is provided to let the host determine the currency of the information. The implementation of this command is optional.

Returns:
9.1.2.1   OK {date} {time} {lat} {long} {elev} {accuracy} {source}

If location coordinates could be obtained at date/time, the module returns it.

9.1.2.2   ERR16 LOCATION NOT AVAILABLE

If a location fix could not be obtained, the module returns 'LOCATION NOT AVAILABLE'.
