10. Explanation of GPS Terminology Degraded Mode: It is the operation mode that uses 2 SVs or 1 SV for positioning output. The effect of degraded mode in GPS receiver is to have more position fix than none of it. It would sometimes have the situation of position drifting when this mode is enabled. Elevation Mask: GPS satellites that are low on the horizon are subject to noise due to the amount of atmosphere that the signal must travel through.
Note: RoyalTek provides two types of firmware. One is enhanced sensitivity and the other is Xtrac. Please refer to the following items as the difference between them when using Software Application. 1. If the Device’s firmware is Xtrac, the function of SBAS is unavailable. 2. If the Device’s firmware is Xtrac, the function of Power Mode is unavailable. REMARK: What is Xtrac? XTrac is a high sensitivity GPS software solution provided by SiRF company.
