Selecting GNSS Constellations
Note: As of System software version 5.7.0, the Multi GNSS Option is no longer required to receive several constellations simultaneously. After an upgrade, the previous constellation settings will be maintained.
To learn more about determining which receiver model is installed in your unit, and which GNSS constellations and combinations are supported, see Determining Your GNSS Receiver Model.
In new SecureSync units, per default both GPS, and Galileo are enabled. Either selection can be disabled, but not both of them (if both are turned off, no changes will be saved and the last constellation setting will be preserved).
To verify if satellite signals for the selected GNSS constellations are currently received, see Determining Which GNSS Satellites Are Received.
Configuring GNSS Constellations
To configure which GNSS constellations SecureSync's GNSS receiver shall track:
- Navigate to INTERFACES > REFERENCES: GNSS Reference.
- Click the GEAR button next to GNSS 0. The GNSS 0 window will open:
- Under Selected Constellations, review which constellations are currently tracked, and apply your changes. Note the following:
- The u-blox M8T receiver is capable of receiving multiple GNSS constellations simultaneously; the table below shows which combinations are possible:
GPS Galileo GLONASS BeiDou X X – – X X X – X X – X X – X – X – – X – X X – – X – X – – X X Note: The augmentation systems SBAS and QZSS can be enabled only if GPS operation is enabled.
Note: Should you select more than 3 + QZSS constellations, you will receive a Constellation Error once you click Submit (ConstError).
- The u-blox M8T receiver is capable of receiving multiple GNSS constellations simultaneously; the table below shows which combinations are possible:
QZSS is disabled by default. In order to receive QZSS signals, you must either be located in the Japan region, or use a GNSS simulator (such as Orolia GSG-5 or -6 Series).
QZSS is not considered a standalone constellation and while SecureSync allows you to enable QZSS by itself, it is recommended to use it in combination with GPS.
