SS – Decimal, 2 digits Second (00 to 59) The time and position data will be ignored by the SL869 if it already has an estimate of time and position, respectively. If the data is accepted, it will be reflected in the output messages, for example $GPGGA, and the SL869 will respond with the message: $PSTMINITGPSOK*40<cr><lf>...
SS – Decimal, 2 digits Second (00 to 59) The input time will be ignored by the SL869 if it already has an estimate of time. If the data is accepted, it will be reflected in the output messages, for example $GPGGA. The SL869 will also respond with the message: $PSTMINITTIMEOK*11<cr><lf>...
This command allows the user to clear all ephemeris data from backup SRAM and erase all ephemeris stored in NVM backup memory. It is typically used to force the SL869 to collect the most recent satellite ephemeris data, or to prepare the SL869 to be loaded with ephemeris data over the serial port.
Example: $PSTMEPHEM,3,64,8f06786978691313132001009ba4ff009af9e5178c12aa faba006e00fc3700001f7eea25cab5b60780b00da183d906cb6048efd545e6 e12ff7002d0012c0c003*58 Note that the command is not echoed. The SL869 responds with a message having the following format: $PSTMEPHEM,<SatId>,<N>, <status> where SatId and N are the echoed parameters from the load command. The status is “OK” if the ephemeris message was accepted.
This is equivalent to an input parameter of 14 and is the most common definition of a cold start used in the industry. In response to this message the SL869 will perform a GPS engine reset. It will not however perform a system reboot.
3.9. $PSTMHOT This command causes the SL869 to perform a hot start. A hot start is defined as one in which position and time is known and ephemeris is valid from previous operation. There are no parameters, and there is no response message to this command.
This command allows the user to get the versions of the libraries embedded within the firmware application. It also allows the user to get the Telit firmware application version string, which is also output in a GPTXT message when the SL869 starts up. Synopsis: $PSTMGETSWVER,<Id><cr><lf>...
SL869 SW User Guide 1VV0301002 Rev.6 – 2013-10-1 Type Indicates ARM compiler type If the input parameter value is 255, the SL869 responds with a message of the form: $GPTXT,<Telit version string>*<checksum><cr><lf> 3.13. $PSTMSBASONOFF This command can be used to toggle the SBAS differential GPS feature on and off. By default the SBAS feature is off (disabled) whenever the SL869 is reset.
