Hi,
I am using a u-blox zed f9p for rtk in a long life application. My question is if I turn the base station receiver off, when it powers back on, will it be able to begin transmitting correction data immediately or will it have to regain a fix. In other words, can I turn the base station on and off in order to save power without it affecting the functionality.
Thanks,
Macgregor
It will need to regain a fix before it can start sending valid correction data.
Does it only have to be a 3D fix or will it take longer than that? I notice in the tutorial it mentions that it can take many minutes to gain a standard deviation of less than 5m. Does this need to happen at every power on?
It needs to be the best possible fix, anything less than that and your correction data won’t be accurate.
Thanks for your replies. I have one more question in relation to the data I am receiving through my Arduino using UART. When I connect to U-center as well as reading data from the UART, the data doesn’t match up. For example, U-center may have 10 or more satellites connected within 10 seconds but Arduino might take a minute or two to get 10, by which time U-center will have 30+. Is there something I need to change in the settings? For reference I am using the Sparkfun Arduino library (https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_u- … _Library.h) and the SIV command.
Many thanks,
Macgregor
