faster start-up offered by a hot or warm start, a battery backup must be connected. To maximize battery lifetime, the battery voltage should be between 2.5v and 3.6v. * PBRES (Push button reset): This pin provides an active-low reset input to the engine board. It causes the engine board to reset and start searching for satellites.

NMEA Input Command . Set Serial Port ID:100 Set PORTA parameters and protocol This command message is used to set the protocol(SiRF Binary, NMEA, or USER1) and/or the communication parameters(baud, data bits, stop bits, parity). Generally,this command would be used to switch the module back to SiRF Binary protocol mode where a more extensive command message set is available.

B). Navigation lnitialization ID¡G 101 Parameters required for start This command is used to initialize the module for a warm start, by providing current position ¡] in X, Y, Z coordinates¡^,clock offset, and time. This enables the receiver to search for the correct satellite signals at the correct signal parameters. Correct initialization parameters will enable the receiver to acquire signals more quickly, and thus, produce a faster navigational solution.

D). Query/Rate Control ID:103 Query standard NMEA message and/or set output rate This command is used to control the output of standard NMEA message GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV RMC, VTG. Using this command message, standard NMEA message may be polled once, or setup for periodic output. Checksums may also be enabled or disabled depending on the needs of the receiving program.

E). LLA Navigation lnitialization ID:104 Parameters required to start using Lat/Lon/Alt This command is used to initialize the module for a warm start, by providing current position (in Latitude, Longitude, Altitude coordinates), clock offset, and time. This enables the receiver to search for the correct satellite signals at the correct signal parameters.
