The Rapid Recovery feature provides a way to more quickly recover from the loss of StarFire
corrected positioning after loss and recovery of navigation. The receiver starts using these
corrections when the link to the navigation satellites has been lost, or has degraded to a
specified quality value (Figure of Merit

– FOM, representing the best-guess accuracy of the

horizontal position).

Command:

[RAPIDRECOVERY] command <,FOM>

Parameter

Definition

Command

Keyword: either (“ENABLE<,FOM>” or “DISABLE”)

ENABLE may optionally include a new value for FOM, but DISABLE
may not.

FOM

An Integer; value from 1 to 255, representing horizontal accuracy in cm.

If

“DISABLE” is specified, an error return will generate indicating

invalid input.

NavCom recommends using a FOM value in the range 5-10.

This feature is available only on the GPS portion of the StarFire correction, which
constitutes the larger weighted component of the correction.
