3.9 Forcing a receiver reset
Typically, in GNSS receivers, one distinguishes between cold, warm, and hot starts, depending on
the type of valid information the receiver has at the time of the restart.
•
Cold start:
In cold start mode, the receiver has no information from the last position (e.g.
time, velocity, frequency etc.) at startup. Therefore, the receiver must search the full time and
frequency space, and all possible satellite numbers. If a satellite signal is found, it is tracked
to decode the ephemeris (18-36 seconds under strong signal conditions), whereas the other
channels continue to search satellites. Once there is a sufficient number of satellites with
valid ephemeris, the receiver can calculate position and velocity data. Other GNSS receiver
manufacturers call this startup mode
Factory startup
.
•
Warm start:
In warm start mode, the receiver has approximate information for time, position,
and coarse satellite position data (Almanac). In this mode, after power-up, the receiver
normally needs to download ephemeris before it can calculate position and velocity data.
As the ephemeris data usually is outdated after 4 hours, the receiver will typically start with
a warm start if it has been powered down for more than 4 hours. In this scenario, several
augmentations are possible. See the section on Multi-GNSS Assistance.
•
Hot start:
In hot start mode, the receiver was powered down only for a short time (4 hours
or less), so that its ephemeris is still valid. Since the receiver does not need to download
ephemeris again, this is the fastest startup method.
In the UBX-CFG-RST message, one can force the receiver to reset and clear data, in order to see
the effects of maintaining/losing such data between restarts. For this, the UBX-CFG-RST message
offers the
navBbrMask
field, where hot, warm and cold starts can be initiated, and also other
combinations thereof.
Data stored in flash memory is not cleared by any of the options provided by UBX-CFG-RST.
So, for example, if valid AssistNow Offline data is stored in the flash it is likely to have an
impact on a "cold start".
The reset type can also be specified. This is not related to GNSS, but to the way the software restarts
the system.
