4.3 Notifications
The alarm notification feature described below allows you to be notified of a
potential reception issue BEFORE the GNSS reference becomes invalid. This may
be useful e.g., to notify system operators of a deteriorating signal reception
before VersaSync loses the GNSS reference.
Note that VersaSync itself has a pre-defined minimum number of satellites that
must be tracked in order for GNSS to be considered a valid reference. The min-
imum number of satellites depends e.g., on your receiver mode, the GNSS signal
reception in the area where your antenna is located, and the type of receiver in
your unit. In Stationary mode, and for SAASM units, the minimum number of satel-
lites is normally 4 (four). Hence, it would be prudent to set the Minor Alarm
Threshold to 8, and the Major Alarm Threshold to 6.
To determine how many satellites your VersaSync unit is currently receiving, nav-
