ZED-F9T - Integration Manual
Configuration item
Description
CFG-NAVSPG-FIXMODE
By default, the receiver calculates a 3D position fix if possible but reverts to 2D
position if necessary (
auto 2D/3D
). The receiver can be forced to only calculate 2D (
2D
only
) or 3D (
3D only
) positions.
CFG-NAVSPG-CONSTR_ALT, CFG-
NAVSPG-CONSTR_ALTVAR
The fixed altitude is used if fixMode is set to 2D only. A variance greater than zero
must also be supplied.
CFG-NAVSPG-INFIL_MINELEV
Minimum elevation of a satellite above the horizon in order to be used in the
navigation solution. Low elevation satellites may provide degraded accuracy, due to
the long signal path through the atmosphere.
CFG-NAVSPG-INFIL_NCNOTHRS,
CFG-NAVSPG-INFIL_CNOTHRS
A navigation solution will only be attempted if there are at least the given number of
SVs
with signals at least as strong as the given threshold.

3.1.7.3 Navigation output filters
The result of a navigation solution is initially classified by the fix type (as detailed in the
fixType
field of UBX-NAV-PVT message). This distinguishes between failures to obtain a fix at all ("No Fix")
and cases where a fix has been achieved, which are further subdivided into specific types of fixes
(e.g. 2D, 3D, dead reckoning).
The ZED-F9T firmware does not support the dead reckoning position fix type.
Where a fix has been achieved, a check is made to determine whether the fix should be classified as
valid or not. A fix is only valid if it passes the navigation output filters as defined in CFG-NAVSPG-
OUTFIL. In particular, both PDOP and accuracy values must lie below the respective limits.
Important: Users are recommended to check the
gnssFixOK
flag in the UBX-NAV-PVT or
the NMEA valid flag. Fixes not marked valid should not normally be used.
UBX-NAV-STATUS message also reports whether a fix is valid in the
gpsFixOK
flag. These
messages have only been retained for backwards compatibility and users are recommended to use
the UBX-NAV-PVT message.
3.1.7.3.1 Speed (3D) low-pass filter
The CFG-ODO-OUTLPVEL configuration item offers the possibility to activate a speed (3D) low-pass
filter. The output of the speed low-pass filter is published in the UBX-NAV-VELNED message (
speed
field). The filtering level can be set via the CFG-ODO-VELLPGAIN configuration item and must be
comprised between 0 (heavy low-pass filtering) and 255 (weak low-pass filtering).
Strictly speaking, the internal filter gain is computed as a function of speed. Therefore,
the level as defined in the CFG-ODO-VELLPGAIN configuration item defines the nominal
filtering level for speeds below 5 m/s.
3.1.7.3.2 Course over ground low-pass filter
The CFG-ODO-OUTLPCOG configuration item offers the possibility to activate a course over ground
low-pass filter when the speed is below 8 m/s. The output of the course over ground (also named
heading of motion 2-D) low-pass filter is published in the UBX-NAV-PVT message (
headMot
field),
UBX-NAV-VELNED message (
heading
field), NMEA-RMC message (
cog
field) and NMEA-VTG
message (
cogt
field). The filtering level can be set via the CFG-ODO-COGLPGAIN configuration item
and must be comprised between 0 (heavy low-pass filtering) and 255 (weak low-pass filtering).
The filtering level as defined in the CFG-ODO-COGLPGAIN configuration item defines the
filter gain for speeds below 8 m/s. If the speed is higher than 8 m/s, no course over ground
low-pass filtering is performed.
3.1.7.3.3 Low-speed course over ground filter
The CFG-ODO-USE_COG activates this feature and the CFG-ODO-COGMAXSPEED, CFG-ODO-
COGMAXPOSACC configuration items offer the possibility to configure a low-speed course over
ground filter (also named heading of motion 2D). This filter derives the course over ground from
