Start Up 

The power supply for UM4B0 is 3.3VDC. Before powering on the device, please 
connect UM4B0 serial port to the GNSS antenna. The receiver is started and the 
communication is connected after powering up. Testing tools are provided for 
module testing.

Configuration and Output 

UNICORECOMM UPrecise software provides a user-friendly graphical interface to 
control and display the operation of your receiver. The features of Uprecise include: 

 

Logging Control View: Graphic interface for data logging  

 

Console window for sending command to the receiver (Console View)  

 

Displaying the receiver’s output in ASCII-format (ASCII View)  

 

Graphic window for displaying Position of satellite, PRN, and Signal/Noise Ratio 
(Constellation View)  

 

Historical and present Trajectory of the receiver (Trajectory View)  

 

Position/Velocity/Time of the receiver (PVT View)  

 
Apart from the basic functions above, UPrecise offers advanced functions as follows:  

 

Selecting and recording the log  

 

Sending commands to the receiver  

 

Operating and configuration of the ASCII view  

 

The trajectory view for displaying the present point and the past point of the 
receiver  

 

Switching Views over the tracking window  

 

Switching between Constellation Views  

 

Resetting the receiver 

 

Replaying the GGA log
