2.7.2.3 Cyclic tracking
Power save mode cyclic tracking (PSMCT) operation is described in
.
PSMCT supports 1 Hz and 2 Hz navigation update rates. In addition, longer update periods
from 2 s to 10 s are supported at 1 s steps.

• When the receiver is switched on, it first enters the "Acquisition" state. A non-zero value for
MINACQTIME increases the acquisition period and allows the receiver to acquire more satellites
at startup. A larger number of signals tracked later helps the receiver to remain in the "POT"
state if some signals get blocked and are lost. This may reduce the overall power consumption.
• If it is able to acquire a valid position fix (one passing the navigation output filters) within the
time given by the
, it switches to the "Tracking" state and the ONTIME
starts. Otherwise it enters the "Inactive for search" state and restarts after the configured
search period (minus a start-up margin).
• Once the ONTIME is over, the "POT" state is entered. Setting the ONTIME to zero causes the
receiver to enter the "POT" state as soon as possible.
• In the "POT" state the receiver continues to output position fixes according to the CFG-RATE-*.
• If the signal becomes weak or is lost during the "POT" state, the "Tracking" state is entered.
• Once the signal is good again and the newly started ONTIME is over, the receiver will re-enter
the "POT" state.
• If the receiver cannot get a position fix in the "Tracking" state, it enters the "Acquisition"
state. Should the acquisition fail as well, the "Inactive for search" state is entered. If
DONOTENTEROFF is enabled and no fix is possible, the receiver will remain in the "Acquisition"
state until a fix is possible and it will never enter the "Inactive for search" state.
2.7.2.4 On/Off mode
Power save mode on-off (PSMOO) operation is described in
PSMOO requires an RTC to maintain time.
