2 Introduction
The TW5340 GNSS receiver/antenna incorporates the ST STA8088 state of the art receiver which provides 32 high sensitivity tracking channels which can be assigned to acquire and track GPS and GLONASS signals simultaneously. The TW5340 is designed for use in professional grade applications such as precision timing, network synchronization, low current battery and vehicle tracking applications.
The TW5340 family of GNSS receiver/antennas employs Tallysman’s Accutenna™ dual feed antenna patch technology which greatly improves rejection of multi-path signals across the whole GNSS band, resulting in much higher precision than single feed antennas which are typically tuned to a single GNSS frequency.
The TW5340 supports ST Microelectronics Autonomous A-GPS which accelerates GPS positioning by predicting satellite ephemeris data based on previous observations, this results in extremely fast Time-To-First- Fix.
The TW5340 supports 3 modes of operation; Navigation, Standby and Low Current
(expert mode parameters only). A hardware interface is provided for external application to control the Standby mode, this is especially useful in applications that require low current drain.
The TW5340 outputs standard NMEA 0183 output with navigation updates rates up to
10Hz are supported. Three (3) messages lists can be output each with different output rates.
The TW5340 is available with RS232, and CMOS interfaces and input voltage options of
3,3V, 5.0V and 12V.
A standard one pulse-per-second 1PPS output is available as a single ended output or as a differential output at RS422 levels. The 1PPS can be configured to be synchronized to
UTC, GPS or GLONASS reference time.
Tallysman Windows™ based TW5340 Configurator application provides for simple configuration of TW5340 parameters such as tracking, Standby mode operation, 1 PPS timing, constellations, SBAS etc.

TW5340 User Manual
If the device is configured to operate in Standby mode the output provides positive feedback that the device has entered Standby mode.
Fix Quality (1PPS Qualification)
A 1PPS qualification signal is provided to indicates when the 1PPS output is valid,
qualification is based on the configured Fix Quality PDOP value, see section 11.2.
Figure 9 shows the internal 1PPS qualification status of the TW5340. Once the 1PPS
status is detected as good, a Fix Quality Start Delay can be inserted before the 1PPS qualification signal is output to ensure that the TW5340 has time to average out the satellite clocks and provide a stable 1PPS output.
On loss of 1PPS qualification status the 1PPS qualification output is maintained for the
Fix Quality Flywheel time, see section 11.2.

8.7 Wake Up Input
The Wakeup input is pulled high by the TW5340. It must be left in this state to enter standby mode. When in standby, the wakeup input must be pulled to ground to cause the TW5340 to exit Standby mode and return to Navigation mode.
9 Operating Modes
The TW5340 has three operating modes:
9.1 Navigation Mode
The TW5340 uses the acquisition engine continually resulting in the shortest time to first fix. It searches all possible satellites until the almanac is completely downloaded, the receiver then switches to the tracking engine to lower power consumption.

TW5340 User Manual
9.2 Standby Mode
Standby mode stops the navigation operation and all supply inputs are powered down and power drain is reduced. Standby mode is entered by External control ( see below)
In Navigation mode the current consumption is approximately 70 mA, and in Standby mode is approximately 1 mA,
The Standby status output pin provides a positive feedback that the device has entered
Standby mode. When Not In standby the output is pulled high, when in standby the output is floating.
External control
The W5340 can enter Standby mode by issuing a “$PSTMGOTOSTANDBY” command.
$PSTMGOTOSTANDBY,1,<sleep time>,0,<sleep time>
<Sleep time> is the number of seconds to remain in standby mode. Note the two sleep times in the command must be identical.
The TW5340 can be woken from standby state by the wakeup pin.
Pin 3 on the TW5340 can be used to wake the device up. To exit Standby mode the
Wake-Up pin must be pulsed low for approximately 1 ms by an open collector output.
Note: If the TW5340 is in Standby mode for greater 30 minutes the ephemeris data may old and have to be re-acquired before a GNSS position can be resolved resulting in a cold start of approximately 50 to 90 seconds.
As a rule of thumb the TW5340 should be on for 30 seconds every 30 minutes to guarantee a hot start of less than 10seconds.
Note: For applications that need to conserve power by waking up quickly from standby mode and getting a fix as quickly as possible it is recommended that both GPS &
GLONASS constellations are enabled
Initialize GPS time
Acquisition of a position fix can be sped up by initializing the TW5430 with the GPS time.

TW5340 User Manual reduced e.g. if you configure message list 3 to output GGA at 8 Hz then message list 1 can be configure to output once per second (by setting the Message List 1 Rate to 8).
Note 1: When configuring additional NMEA lists, check that the baud rate is high enough to ensure there is enough time to output all messages.
10 Hz. Operation
For 10 Hz operation the following configuration settings are required:
[1] In the “Interface” tab: set the “NMEA Baudrate” to at least 115200.
The next time the configurator is run be sure to set the “COM Port Baudrate” in the
“Program” Menu “COM Port…” tab to the same value.
[2] In the “General” tab set:
[a] “Fix Rate (sec)” option to “.1”
[b] “CPU Clock Speed” option to “208 MHz (PLL)”
[3] In the “Message” tab set:
[a] “Delay from Fix to Start of Output (ms)” option to 0
[b] Uncheck all items from List #1 and List #2 (*)
[c] Check just one item for List #3
(*) If more NMEA sentence outputs are required, then set the “Message List #1 Rate” option to 10, so the selected sentences in List #1 are output at most once per second.
[4] If fix rate is > 5Hz.
[a] In the “Tracking” tab check “High Dynamics”.
This enables a higher DSP sample rate.

11.5 TRACKING
2 D Fix: ( default off)
Enables a two-dimensional GPS position fix that includes only horizontal coordinates (no
GPS elevation). It requires a minimum of three visible satellites.
Walking mode: (default off)
The receiver engine uses different filters in walking mode i.e. does not include velocity in position calculations or accelerations that are not feasible by a pedestrian, and maintain accurate position in urban environments during lower operating speeds ( 0.5 to 3 m/sec) such as walking or even running.
Stop Detection: (default on)
This enables “pining” the position while stopped to minimize “wandering” such as in an automotive application at a stop light. It also has protection to prevent it from getting stuck in an undesirable mode when the user dynamics change.
This feature should be disabled when doing ‘wander’ testing or when walking mode is enabled.
High Dynamics: (default off)
The receiver engine uses different filters for high acceleration applications.
Must be enabled when the fix rate is >5Hz.
Acquisition Mask Angle (degrees):
The elevation angle of a GNSS satellite below which data will be ignored when acquiring a fix. A lower mask angle may lead to faster acquisition.
©2014 -2015 Tallysman Wireless, Inc. Confidential
29
TW5340 User Manual
Positioning Mask Angle:
The elevation angle of a GNSS satellite below which data will be ignored once a fix has been acquired. Once a fix has been acquired the mask angle can be increased so that only high satellites are tracked. By setting this parameter to a value less than the acquisition mask angle the satellite will always be used in a fix once it is acquired.
Having larger values helps reduce multipath errors.
Tracking Threshold (SNR):
This parameter sets the minimum C/N0 threshold to track a satellite. Any GNSS satellite, with C/N0 less than the threshold value is dropped and the engine searches for another satellite with a stronger signal level. Increasing the tracking threshold decreases the
GNSS sensitivity, but helps prevent errors due to multipath. The value must be in the range 10 to 40. The default is 10.
Positioning Threshold (SNR):
A satellite must have a signal strength above this threshold to be included in a fix calculation. The default is 15, which helps reduce multi-path errors.
Default 2D DOPS
A low DOP value represents a better positional precision due to the wider angular separation between the satellites used to calculate a unit's position.
These are the maximum allowable values for calculating a 2D fix.
Default 3D DOPS:
These are the maximum allowable values for calculating a 3D fix.
Startup 2D DOPS
Set these values the same as the default 2D DOPS.
Startup 3D DOP:
Set these values the same as the default 3D DOPS.

1PPS Enable:
1PPS is output when set.
Invert 1PPS Polarity:
The polarity of the 1PPS output is inverted.
1 PPS Hold Position:
The configured Hold Position is used in Timing application as the current position.
The accuracy and integrity of the timing solution is highly dependent on the accuracy of the reference position. Position can be set and held but should be generated from a highly accurate survey grade receiver. If this is not available, the reference position may be determined automatically by position hold auto-survey command to selfsurvey over an extended period (at the very least, 1 hour). See # Auto survey samples below.
TRAIM Enable:
Enable/disable the TRAIM algorithm
Timing Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring allows the receiver to remove satellites with timing errors in excess of a given timing threshold.
1PPS Clock (Mhz)
Set to 64 Mhz for highest accuracy
1PPS pulse Duration (ms):
Duration of 1 PPS pulse, the default configuration is 250ms.
1PPS Correction (Delay in ns):
This is a time correction to compensate for any 1PPS delays due to cable length or the
RF chain.

1PPS Constellations:
This parameter enables the usage of mixed constellations in the 1pps timing filter. If
“Use GPS…” is enabled GPS satellites are used to correct the GLONASS reference time together with GLONASS satellites. If “Use GLONASS…” is enabled, GLONASS satellites are used to correct the GPS reference time together with the GPS satellites. When constellation mask is zero (default) only GPS satellites are used to correct the GPS reference time and only GLONASS satellites are used to correct the GLONASS reference time.
