This command can be used to set up an automatic receiver awake/sleep pattern. It is possi-
ble to order the receiver to wake up at a given time, for a certain period, and/or at regular
intervals. A possible application is keeping fast time-to-first-fix even after days in sleep mode.
This can be done by waking up the receiver every few hours for a few minutes, such that it
can regularly refresh its ephemerides.
The
WakeUpTime
argument defines the epoch when the receiver should automatically wake
up the first time. It also serves as reference epoch for the
RepetitionPeriod
argument. It refers
to the GPS time scale. The format of the
WakeUpTime
argument is "YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss".
The
AwakeDuration
argument defines the period for which the receiver should stay awake. If
this argument is set to 0 (the default value), the receiver will remain awake indefinitely.
The
RepetitionPeriod
can be used to repeat the awake/sleep pattern at regular interval.
Repe-
titionPeriod
should be at least 5 seconds longer than
AwakeDuration
to allow a minimum sleep
time of 5 seconds between awake periods. If
RepetitionPeriod
is set to a value smaller than
AwakeDuration
, the repetition functionality is disabled.
Be aware that the receiver must know the time to automatically go into sleep mode: if no
antenna is connected to the receiver or if not enough satellites could be tracked after boot,
the receiver will continue operating beyond its prescribed awake duration, and only possibly
enter sleep mode at the next scheduled "go-to-sleep" epoch, if any.
To force the receiver to go into sleep mode immediately, use the command
exePowerMode,
ScheduledSleep
instead.
If interaction with the receiver is needed during the sleep period, the user can always force
the receiver to wake up by hardware means. See the receiver Hardware Manual or User
Manual for details. When maintenance is done, the user should put the receiver back
in sleep mode by typing
exePowerMode, ScheduledSleep
. This does not perturb the
awake/sleep pattern: the receiver will continue to automatically wake up at the next wake-
up epoch.
Each time the receiver wakes up, it applies the boot configuration. For the receiver to
wake up in the current configuration, it has to be saved in the boot configuration with the
exeCopyConfigFile
command. In particular, when using the repetitive awake/sleep pat-
tern, the command
exeCopyConfigFile,current,boot
must be entered before the
first time that the receiver enters sleep mode. This is to make sure that the awake/sleep
pattern configuration is not lost during the sleep periods.
Examples
If you want the receiver waking up on December 31, 2012 at 23h00 for 2 hours, use:
COM1> swui, "2012-12-31 23:0:0", 7200 <CR>
$R: swui, "2012-12-31 23:0:0", 7200
