QUICK START GUIDE
MOTOROLA Oncore
™
GT
GPS Module for Embedded OEM
A rugged and reliable eight-channel receiver, the
Oncore™ GT
provides position and velocity
data anywhere on Earth, at any time of day, in any weather. It also provides accurate time. A
one-pulse-per-second signal output is synchronized to UTC within a nominal accuracy of five
hundred nanoseconds—ideal for multi-site synchronization and time-distribution applications.
Features
• 8-channel parallel receiver, 8 simultaneous satellite vehicles, L1 1575.42 MHz
• Code plus carrier tracking (carrier-aided tracking)
• Velocity: 1000 knots (515 m/s); > 1000 knots at altitudes < 60,000 ft.
• Position filtering
• Antenna current sense circuit
• Operates from +5 Vdc regulated power
• TTL interface to host equipment
• 3-dimensional positioning within 25 meters, SEP (without Selective Availability [SA])
• Latitude, longitude, height, velocity, heading, time, and satellite status information output either
continuously (once per second) or polled
• Differential GPS with Motorola binary corrections
• RTCM SC-104 differential GPS correction input on second comm port
• Motorola binary protocol at 9600 baud
• NMEA 0183 output at 4800 baud: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG, ZDA sentences
• Velocity filtering
• 1PPS output (+/- 500 ns accuracy)
Time To First Fix (TTFF)
• < 15 s typical TTFF-hot (with current almanac, position, time and ephemeris)
• < 45 s typical TTFF-warm (with current almanac, position and time)
• < 90 s typical TTFF-cold
