12 Channel GPS Sensor Module
The GT-310F module is a small, single-board, 12
parallel-channel receiver intended for Original Equipment
Manufacturer (OEM) products.
The receiver continuously tracks all satellites in view and
provides accurate satellite positioning data. The GT-310F is
optimized for applications requiring good performance, low
cost, and maximum flexibility; suitable for a wide range of
OEM configurations including handhelds, asset tracking,
marine and vehicle navigation products.
Its 12 parallel channels and 4000 search bins provide fast
satellite signal acquisition and short startup time. Acquisition
sensitivity of –140dBm and tracking sensitivity of –150dBm
offers good navigation performance even in urban canyons
having limited sky view.
Satellite-based augmentation systems, such as WAAS and
EGNOS, are supported to yield improved accuracy.
Users can modify the NMEA sentences and Binary code

1PPS Output
The GPS receiver is in navigation mode upon power-up, with 1PPS output free running. After 3 minutes of
valid position fix and remaining under static-mode, the receiver changes to timing-mode, with 1PPS output
signal synchronized to the UTC second. The receiver will change to navigation-mode, with 1PPS output free
running, if the receiver is in motion. The 1PPS output will become synchronized to the UTC second again after
the receiver had remained in static mode for 3 minutes.

NMEA Messages
The serial interface protocol is based on the National Marine Electronics Association’s NMEA 0183 ASCII
interface specification. This standard is fully define in “NMEA 0183, Version 3.01” The standard may be
obtained from NMEA, www.nmea.org
