GNSS Receiver

Top  Previous  Next

The GNSS functions allow the program to interact with a GNSS module that supports multiple positioning systems, such as GPS, GLONASS, and GALILEO. The GNSS functionality is not available on all RTCU devices, so please consult the technical documentation for the actual RTCU device in question.

 

The GNSS functions are to be used together with the GPS functions, where the GNSS functions handle the functionality for multiple positioning systems, while the GPS functions implicitly use all positioning systems.
