Action Lists all possible actions that can be performed with the u-blox GNSS receiver.
Hot start Sends a hot start command to the receiver. No data is deleted in the receiver.
Warm start Sends a warm start command to the receiver. Only the ephemeris are deleted from the
memory.
Cold start Sends a cold start command to the receiver. All information is deleted from the memory.
Save Config Saves the current receiver configuration to the memory so that it will be loaded after a
restart.
Load Config Loads the last saved configuration from the memory.
Revert Config Deletes all configurations in the memory and reverts the receiver to the default
configuration.
Auto Detect Enable/Disables the automatic polling of the UBX-MON-VER message to allow u-center to
obtain information about the receiver. On receiving the message, the receiver information
contained within the message is extracted, stored and used by u-center for any receiver
specific features. Having this feature enabled allows u-center to automatically be aware of
the type of receiver attached. Disabling this feature is useful during times when having UBX-
MON-VER messages randomly appearing could interfer with the current user task.
Get Information Manually polls the receiver for a UBX-MON-VER message. On receiving the message, the
receiver information contained within the message is extracted, stored and used by u-center
for any receiver specific features. Typical use would be when the user needs auto detection
disabled, but would like u-center to be aware of the connected receiver's details.
