MAX-M10S - Integration manual
2.7.2.6 Configuration
Power save mode (PSM) is enabled and disabled with CFG-PM-OPERATEMODE and configured with
items in the CFG-PM group listed in
.
When using power save mode on/off (PSMOO) operation, set the OPERATEMODE as the
last PSM configuration key to prevent the receiver entering the off state before all intended
PSM configuration keys are set.

OPERATEMODE
The mode of operation to use mainly depends on the update period: For short
update periods (in the range of a few seconds), cyclic tracking should be configured. For long update
periods (in the range of minutes or longer), only use on/off operation. See section
and
for more information on the two modes of operation.
POSUPDATEPERIOD, ACQPERIOD
The update period POSUPDATEPERIOD specifies the time
between successive position fixes. If no position fix can be obtained within the acquisition timeout,
the receiver will retry after the time specified by the search period ACQPERIOD. Update and search
periods are fixed with respect to an absolute time grid based on reference time standard (i.e., GPS
time or UTC). They do not refer to the time of the last valid position fix or last position fix attempt.
Where multiple GNSS can operate simultaneously, UTC time is used as the reference time standard.
The update period setting is ignored if the receiver is set into cyclic tracking mode. It only has an
impact if the receiver is set to on/off mode. New settings are ignored if the update period or the
search period exceeds the maximum number of milliseconds in a week. In that case the previously
stored values remain effective.
GRIDOFFSET
Once the receiver has a valid time, the update grid is aligned to the start of the week of
the reference time standard (midnight between Saturday and Sunday). Before having a valid time,
the update grid is unaligned. A grid offset shifts the update grid with respect to the start of the week
of the reference time standard. The grid offset is not used in cyclic tracking operation.
ONTIME
This specifies how long the receiver stays in the "Tracking" state before switching to the
"POT" state in PSMCT or the "Inactive for update" state in PSMOO.
