RoyalTek GPS Receiver REB-2000/REB-12R You could see the following screen after you switch to SiRF protocol. 12-Channel Signal Level Data: Information Displayed Satellite Number (SV) Status (St) Azimuth (Az) Elevation (EI) C/No Signal Level (-5 sec) Tracking view: Green: Satellite is tracked and used to calculate the navigation solution.
Warm Start (init) This option clears all initialization data in the GPS receiver and subsequently reloads the data that is currently displayed in the GPS receiver initialization is cleared. Cold Start This option clears all data that is currently stored in the internal memory of the GPS receiver including position, almanac, ephemeris, time, and clock drift.
RoyalTek GPS Receiver REB-2000/REB-12R (2) After you select the “Switch to NMEA Protocol”, it will show up a “Select NMEA Messages” dialog. Select the NMEA Messages that you want to use. (3) Determine the update rate for each NMEA message (4) Select the baud rate that you want to use from the Baud Rate pull down menu.

RoyalTek GPS Receiver REB-2000/REB-12R (1) Trickle power: In TricklePower mode, the power to is cycled periodically, so that it operates only a fraction of the time. REB-2100 has the default trickle power parameters: OnPeriod: 300ms, Update rate: 1 second. REB-12R2 does not provide the trickle power feature.
RoyalTek GPS Receiver REB-2000/REB-12R cycle is 200ms/1000ms = 20%. If the “Update Rate” is 2 sec and “On Time” is 300 ms, the duty cycle is 300ms/2000ms = 15%. The duty cycle is limited to 5% ~ 50%. Since it will do...
RoyalTek GPS Receiver REB-2000/REB-12R (7) Select the COM port. Keep the Baud rate at 19200 for REB-2100 and 9600 for REB-12R2/R1. (8) If you want to upload program to Reb-2100, please assert the GPS2 check box. But leave it unasserted for Reb-12R2/R1.
