TSC files
These files are the saved programming and configuration of your GPS. It is highly
recommended to save your programming before you deploy your GPS. You may only
view these files using Collar SW.
GPS timeout
The timeout is the time limit that you set for the GPS to remain on while it attempts to
acquire a location. Longer timeout settings will reduce the GPS battery life but increase
the percentage of successful fixes. Telemetry Solutions tests have shown that in open sky
there is no reason to ever program the GPS past 90 seconds. Forested habitat or extreme
terrain may warrant a 120 second setting. We advise you to test the unit in your habitat
prior to deployment to confirm this. If you have any questions please contact
support@telemetrysolutions.com
.
NOTE:
If the GPS has acquired a location prior to the preset GPS timeout, the unit will
shut down within five seconds. If you have set the GPS additional time to more than fice
seconds, the unit will continue to run either until the additional time has been met or the
GPS timeout has been reached.
