GPS-6017 Operating Manual
Rikaline
1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
The Rikaline GPS-6017 Smart Antenna is a total solution GPS receiver, designed based on SiRF Star III
SOC single chip architecture. This positioning application meets strict needs such as car navigation, mapping,
surveying, security, agriculture and so on. Only clear view of sky and certain power supply are necessary to the
unit. It communicates with other electronic utilities via compatible dual-channel through RS-232 or TTL and
saves critical satellite data by built–in backup memory. With low power consumption, the GPS-6017 tracks up
to 12 satellites at a time, re-acquires satellite signals in 100 ms and updates position data every second.
Trickle-Power (optional function) allows the unit operates a fraction of the time and Push-to-Fix (optional
function) permits user to have a quick position fix even though the receiver usually stays off.
1.2 Features
The GPS-6017 provides a host of features that make it easy for integration and use.
1) Fast acquisition: 20 parallel satellites acquisition
2) Advanced GPS chip: SiRF Star III SOC
3) Fast TTFF: 200,000 effective correlators for fast TTFF at low signal levels
4) Built-in WAAS/EGNOS (Optional model for WAAS/EGNOS covered area) and DGPS for accurate
positioning result.
5) Quick Host start: Built-in rechargeable Lithium battery for backup ephemeris for quick hot start.
6) Support MNEA 0183V2.2 data protocol.
7) Enhanced algorithms provide superior navigation performance in urban, canyon and foliage
Environments.
8) User initialization is not required.
9) LED display status: The LED provides users visible positioning status. LED “BLINKING” when power
connected and stays “ON” when GPS-6017 position identified. No more extra device needed.
10) Built-in Magnets for using on top of the car.
11) Water proof (1 meter) design for all weather.

GPS-6017 Operating Manual
Rikaline
2. Operational characteristics
2.1 Initialization
As soon as the initial self-test is complete, the GPS-6017 begins the process of satellite acquisition and
tracking automatically. Under normal circumstances, it takes approximately 45 seconds to achieve a position fix,
38 seconds if ephemeris data is known. After a position fix has been calculated, information about valid position,
velocity and time is transmitted over the output channel.
The GPS-6017 utilizes initial data, such as last stored position, date, time and satellite orbital data, to
achieve maximum acquisition performance. If significant inaccuracy exists in the initial data, or the orbital data
is obsolete, it may take more time to achieve a navigation solution. The GPS-6017 Auto-locate feature is
capable of automatically determining a navigation solution without intervention from the host system. However,
acquisition performance can be improved when the host system initializes the GPS-6017 in the following
situation:
1) Moving further than 1,500 kilometers.
2) Failure of data storage due to the inactive internal memory battery.
2.2 Navigation
After the acquisition process is complete, the GPS-6017 sends valid navigation information over output
channels. These data include:
1) Latitude/longitude/altitude
2) Velocity
3) Date/time
4) Error estimates
5) Satellite and receiver status
The GPS-6017 sets the default of auto-searching for real-time differential corrections in RTCM SC-104
standard format, with the message types 1, 5, or 9. It accomplishes the satellite data to generate a differential
(DGPS) solution. The host system, at its option, may also command the GPS-6017 to output a position
whenever a differential solution is available.

A.2 RTCM Received Data
The default communication parameters for DGPS Input are 9600 baud, 8 data bits, stop bit, and no parity.
Position accuracy of less than 5 meters can be achieved with the GPS-6017 by using Differential GPS (DGPS)
real-time pseudo-range correction data in RTCM SC-104 format, with message types 1, 5, or 9. As using
DGPS receiver with different communication parameters, GPS-6017 may decode the data correctly to generate
accurate messages and save them in battery-back SRAM for later computing.

Appendix B Earth Datums & Output Setting
B.1 Earth Datums
The GPS-6017 is built in earth datum with WGS84.
B.2 Setting
B.2.1 Manufacturing Default
Datum: WGS84.
Baud Rate: 9600.
Output: GGA, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG.
WAAS/EGNOS: OFF (Optional ON is for the area covered by WAAS/EGNOS)
B.2.2 Baud Rate and Output Sentences Setting
B.2.2.1 By SiRFdemo Program
1// Connect your GPS-6017 to PC (either COM or USB)
2// Execute SiRFdemo.exe (Program is in the CD)
3// When “Data Source Setup” shows, select the port (COM 1, 2 or 3….) you used, click “OK”.
4// Click “Action”, select “Open Data Source”, Then you will see lots of sentences shows. All the sentences
start with $GPxxxx. This is NMEA protocol. If you do not see these sentences, please click “View”,
“Select Message”, then click “Development”. The message will appear. If it still shows nothing, then
continue below steps.
5// There is a screen “Selection of Target Receiver Software” might appear, please select “SiRFstar II”.
6// Click “Action”, Select “Switch to SiRF Protocol”. Then you will see SiRF binary and the sentences start
with #Time, shows every 4 lines and you can not see the sentences start with $GP. These sentences
are for setting or viewing the GPS receiver’s performance. If your software is using standard NMEA
protocol, please do the following:
7// Click “Action”, Select “Switch to NMEA Protocol”. You will see GGA, GSV, GSA and RMC in black and
the Baud Rate is 4800. These are the default we put inside the receiver. Please click “OK”. Then you
can use it as a standard GPS receiver. If your software uses different sentence, please choose the
sentences you need.
After above actions, the new setting will be kept in SRAM. If no power supplied to GPS-6017 for more than
than 10 days, user must re-set again when power on.
B.2.2.2 By other SiRF based demo program
There are a few companies or private website providing some very good demo software.
