  • Page 10 > 80 mA Real time clock The real-time clock (RTC) is a standard feature on the M12 Oncore. It is used to minimize the time to first fix (TTFF). The date and time will be retained in the RTC if battery backup power is applied when main power is off.
  • Page 11 10.5 RTCM Commands The M12 Oncore accepts RTCM SC-104 Type 1 and Type 9 messages. The messages are input on the second communications port (pin 8) at a user selectable baud rate of 2400, 4800 or 9600. The RTCM messages are buffered and processed independently from the primary communications port.
  • Page 12 The Motorola binary commands are supported on the primary communications port at 9600 baud. The commands supported by the M12 Oncore are listed in the table below, and detailed command descriptions are provided in alphabetical order by binary command on subsequent pages.
