2 Receiver Operation 
 
Upon power up, after initial self-test has completed, the TISTAR25 will begin satellite 
acquisition and tracking process. Under normal open-sky condition, position-fix can be 
achieved within approximately 45 seconds (within 15 seconds if valid ephemeris data is 
already collected from recent use). After receiver position has been calculated, valid position, 
velocity and time information are transmitted through the on board serial interface. 
 
The receiver uses the latest stored position, satellite data, and current RTC time to achieve 
rapid GPS signal acquisition and fast TTFF. If the receiver is transported over a large distance 
across the globe, cold-start automatic-locate sequence is invoked. The first position fix may 
take up to five minutes searching the sky for the GPS signal. The acquisition performance can 
be improved significantly if the host initializes the receiver with a rough estimate of time and 
user position.   
 
As soon as GPS signal is acquired and tracked, the TISTAR25 will transmit valid navigation 
information through its serial interface. The navigation data contains following information:   
 
Receiver position in latitude, longitude, and altitude   
Receiver velocity 
Time 
DOP error-magnification factor 
GPS signal tracking status 
 
The TISTAR25 will perform 3D navigation when four or more satellites are tracked. When three 
or fewer satellites are tracked, altitude-hold is enabled using the last computed altitude and 2D 
navigation mode is entered.   
 
With signal blockage or rising and setting of the satellites, where a change in satellite 
constellation used for position fix occurred, large position error may result. The TISTAR25 
incorporates a proprietary algorithm to compensate the effect of satellite constellation change, 
and maintains an accurate smooth estimate of the receiver’s position, velocity, and heading.
