1. OVERVIEW
When the initial self-test finishes, the TP-051 GPS receiver begins the process of satellite
acquisition and automatic tracking. Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately
50 seconds to achieve a position fix, 35 seconds if ephemeris data is known. After a
position fix has been calculated, information about valid position, velocity and time is
transmitted over the output channel.The TP-051 GPS receiver utilizes initial data, such as
last stored position, date, time and satellite orbital data, to achieve maximum acquisition
performance. If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data is
obsolete, it could take more time to achieve a navigation process. The TP-051 GPS
receiver Auto-locate feature is capable of automatically determining navigation without
intervention from the host system.
However, acquisition performance can be improved when the host system initializes the
TP-051 GPS receiver in the following situation:
I.
Moving further than 500 kilometers.
II.
Failure of Data storage due to the inactive internal memory battery.
2. FEATURES
The TP-051 provides the features that make the host easy for integration.
\ Full navigation accuracy provided by Standard Positioning Service (SPS).
\ Support high sensitivity for very weak signal acquisition and tracking.
\ Integrated powerful CPU and base band hardware in an System On Chip (SOC)
design reduceing the space and power consumption in the state of the art.
\ Advanced IC technology that makes the total receiver cost saving.
\ Allows the receiver to track the satellites using up to 12-channel correlators.
\ Fast TTFF for cold start, warm start and hot start.
\ High performance firmware drives an excellent positioning speed.
\ Dual serial communication channels and user selectable baud rates
\ Designed with a maximum interface capability and flexibility.
\ Optional downloadable firmware code support for upgrading into advanced
programs.
\ Supports a backup power to sustain the internal clock.
\ Fit for Notebook, PC, PDA and so on
\ Optional USB cable, PDA connector

11. HOW TO TEST TP-051 GPS RECEIVER WITH OTHER SOFTWARE
You can test TP-051 by using any other map software, and you can also use the Hyper
Terminal program of Windows to verify its function. The following is a “Quick guide to
setup the Hyper Terminal”.
Note: The following procedure is based on Win98. If you are using Win ME, Win2000 or
other Windows, the procedure is similar to Win98. Please be aware of the difference
among them.
A. Install the Hyper Terminal on Win98:
1. Prepare the WIN98 CD
2. Install the Win98 with the full set of application packages (the Hyper Terminal
software package is bounded in the Win98 CD).
3. Or copy the file Hyptrm.exe from any where available to your Hard Drive and run the
file to install it directly.
B. Setup the Hyper Terminal for the DCT9201 console application:
(The following steps may be different if you install the Hyper Terminal program with a
different version or on a different directory or location)
1. Select “Start” in the desktop toolbar.
2. Select “Programs” in the menu of “Start”.
3. Select “Accessories” in the menu of “Programs”.
4. Select “Communications” in the menu of “Accessories”.
5. Select “Hyper Terminal” in the menu of “Communications” and it pops up the directory
box.
6. Select and execute “Hyper Terminal” icon for creating a new terminal (You can select
the existing terminal icon for running it directly). Then it pops up the Hyper Terminal
window on the desktop and the “Connection description” menu box.
7. Select an icon and give a name in the “Connection description” menu box in order to
create the terminal. Then click “OK” to pop up the “Connect to” menu box.
１６
8. In the “Connect to” menu box, ignore “Nation code”, “Area code” and “Phone number”
and select COM1, COM2, COM3 or COM4 from “Connect using” menu (In general, you
are able to use COM1 or COM3 for RS-232 console terminal connection). Then click on
“OK” to pop up the “Port Settings” menu in the “COMx properties” menu box.
9. In the “COMx properties” menu box, select “115200” (or other) for “Bits per second”,
“8” for “Data bits”, “None” for “Parity”, “1” for “Stop bits” and “None” for “Flow control”
and click “OK” to finish the port settings and return to the Hyper Terminal window.
１７
10. Select “File” from the Hyper Terminal menu bar and active “Properties” from the File
menu to pop up the “Connect to” menu box.
11. In the “Connect to” menu of the“Terminal Properties” menu box, you can change the
terminal icon by clicking on “Change Icon” button and re-select the COM-port from
“Connect using” menu and you can also click on the “configure” button to re-configure
the COM-port settings, e.g. Bits per second, Data bits, Parity, Stop bits and Flow
control.
12. In the “Settings” menu of “Properties” menu box, you can configure the terminal
１８
settings. Please set the “Function, arrow, and ctrl keys act as” to “Terminal keys”, set
“Backspace key sends” to “Ctrl-H”, set “Emulation” to “ANSI” or “VT100”.
13. And you can also select the cursor type from the “Terminal Setup” button in this menu
box. The last setting in this menu box is “ASCII setup”. Click the “ASCII setup” button
to pop up the ASCII setup menu.
14. In the ASCII setup menu, you need to select “Wrap lines that exceed terminal width”
item of ASCII receiving only and the others can’t be selected (including that not send
line-feeds, not echo character locally, zero line delay, zero character delay, not append
line-feeds and not use 7-bit ASCII).
