Architecture:

X32 / NX32 / NX32L

Firmware version:

2.80 / 1.00.00


This function is used for converting a position from Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) format to RTCU format.

 

For the calculation, the WGS-84 ellipsoid is used to model the Earth in the UTM coordinate system.

 

 

Input:

zone : INT [-60 .. 60]
UTM zone number.
>0        The position is on the northern hemisphere.

<0        The position is on the southern hemisphere.

 

east : DINT  [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]
UTM easting coordinate in meters east of the central meridian of the zone.

 

north : DINT [-2147483648 .. 2147483647]
UTM northing coordinate in meters north of the Equator on the northern hemisphere. On the southern hemisphere, it is 10,000 km minus the distance to the Equator.

 

 

Output:

lat : DINT
Negative is south (ddmm.mmmm (multiplied by 10000)).

 

lon : DINT
Negative is west (dddmm.mmmm (multiplied by 10000)).

 

 

Return:

0        Success.
-1        Invalid input.
