Sampling Rate

Do not change

. Only 2-bit I / 2-bit Q / 4.092 MHz sampling rate is allowed 

in the current firmware.  

 

Elevation Mask

: In general, it is a good practice to ignore satellites that are near the 

horizon due to signal fade, higher atmospheric delays and multipath. The default 8 degrees 
is good for most use cases. 

 

Session Name

: The default processing session name is the date and time of processing. 

User can change the name of this processing session to anything that is deemed more 
appropriate. 

 

Latitude (dd.dd) & Longitude (dd.dd)

: Defines the rough initial position of the receiver. The 

server will use this initial position to aid the satellite acquisition process and/or position 
calculation. If these initial values do not produce a valid position, the server will then 
automatically use an advanced Doppler positioning algorithm. The Latitude and Longitude 
does not need to be overly accurate – anywhere within 100 Km should suffice.

3.2.4. 

 

Password

: This is provided during the AUTHCODE Request process outlined in section 

3.2.4. 

 

DeviceID

: Refer to the “authcode_XX-XX-XX-XX.gc” file received from the AUTHCODE 

Request process as outlined in section 3.2.5, “XX-XX-XX-XX” is the DeviceID of the Stamp 
Module). 

 

Google API Key

: Since late 2018, Google Maps started to charge for displaying maps 

correctly on websites. If a Google Maps API Key is not defined, the following error message 
will display on the map. If you have a valid Google Maps API Key, enter it here.

Testing the Stamp Module 

 
When evaluating the Stamp Module, customers are encouraged to develop a formal test plan to 
characterize the receiver performance. Test may include Time-to-First-Fix (TTFF), absolute and 
relative location accuracy (static and kinematic scenarios), acquisition and time to re-acquire, 
impact of multipath on absolute and relative accuracy, and power consumption etc.
