Function Control
The GPIO6 signal (pin no. 54 on J400) is an active-low input that performs multiple functions depending on how
long the signal is LOW (GND).

a. Occupation mode switch is selected in TRU.
You can also clear the NVRAM, set all parameters to default values, and power cycle the board using a
combination of PBTN* and GPIO6. Here is how you can do this:
•
Pull the PBTN* signal LOW (GND) for more than 3 seconds and less than 10 seconds to turn the board off.
•
Pull the GPIO6 signal LOW (GND).
•
Pull the PBTN* signal LOW (GND) for about one second. Pull the PBTN* signal HIGH (3.3V) while continuing
to hold the GPIO6 signal LOW.
•
Wait until the STAT and REC LEDs are green.
•
Wait until the STAT and REC LEDs blink orange.
•
Pull the GPIO6 signal HIGH (3.3V) while the STAT and REC LEDs blink orange.
Use an external pull-up resistor of 10 kOhm to 3.3V for the GPIO6 signal.
Firmware Features
Real-Time Kinematic Engine
The B111 board incorporates a highly innovative RTK engine developed at Topcon. It offers a host of new
features and benefits blended with exceptional processing power. With the new RTK engine, the B111 provides
unrivaled positioning system efficient, secure, and appropriate for any real-time application that requires
accurate positioning solutions.
The following are some of the unique abilities available in the Topcon's proven RTK engine.
•
Designed for world-wide use and ready for GNSS challenges of the field
•
A greatly reduced amount of time needed for getting a fix
•
Perfectly tailored to both network and single reference station RTK techniques
•
Well suited for all kinds of baselines (short, medium, long)
•
Continuous monitoring, catching and removing measurement anomalies to secure reliable positioning
•
Carefully geared to handle up to 1 minute data-link delays
•
Selecting among different linear combinations of observations
•
New GNSS observations, such as GPS/GLONASS L2C, as well as Galileo E1, BeiDou B1/B2 and SBAS L1 are
readily and seamlessly accommodated
•
Instant controllability and flexibility that lets you optimize the engine performance over an extensive set of
commands
•
A variety of advanced options, specifically: a dedicated minimal signal-to-noise ratio for each satellite signal;
feeding the engine with various observations; number of ambiguity subsets resolved per epoch, and more.
