RCB-F9T - Integration manual
Power off and on required to clear short condition report. Or turn feature off an on again.
3.5.3 Antenna short detection auto recovery
Enable the antenna short detection auto recovery by setting the configuration item CFG-HW-
ANT_CFG_RECOVER to true (1).
Result:
• UBX-MON-RF in u-center: Antenna status = OK. Antenna power status = ON
• ANT_OFF = active high there for the PIO is low to enable an external antenna
• ANT_SHORT_N = high (PIO pull up enabled to be pulled low if shorted)
Start-up message at power up if configuration is stored:
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSUPERV=AC SD PDoS SR*3E
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=INIT*3B
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=OK*25
ANTSUPERV=AC SD PDoS SR
(indicates short circuit recovery added - SR)
Then if antenna is shorted (ANT_SHORT_N pulled low):
•
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=SHORT*73
• UBX-MON-RF in u-center: Antenna status = SHORT. Antenna power status = OFF
• ANT_OFF = high (to disable - active high)
After a time out period receiver will re-test the short condition by enabling ANT_OFF = LOW
If a short is not present it will report antenna condition is ok:
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=OK*25
MON-RF in u-center: Antenna status = OK. Antenna power status = ON
The antenna short detection auto recovery is enabled by default in the RCB-F9T.
3.5.4 Antenna open circuit detection - ANT_DETECT
Enable the antenna open circuit detection by setting the configuration item CFG-HW-
ANT_CFG_OPENDET to true (1).
Result:
• UBX-MON-RF in u-center: Antenna status = OK. Antenna power status = ON
• ANT_OFF = active high therefore PIO is low to enable external antenna
• ANT_SHORT_N = active low therefore PIO is high (PIO pull up enabled to be pulled low if
shorted)
• ANT_DETECT = active high therefore PIO is high (PIO pull up enabled to be pulled low if antenna
not detected)
Start-up message at power up if configuration is stored:
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSUPERV=AC SD OD PDoS SR*15
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=INIT*3B
$GNTXT,01,01,02,ANTSTATUS=OK*25
ANTSUPERV=AC SD OD PDoS SR
(indicates open circuit detection added - OD)
