4 Installation & Function Test
4.1 Installation
Step 1: Make sure to take full anti-static measures, such as wearing anti-static wrist straps and grounding the workbench. Step 2: Select the GNSS antenna with appropriate gain (the GNSS systems and frequencies supported by the antenna should be in line with the chip), fix it in the nonblocking area, and connect the antenna to the ANT port on the EVK. Step 3: Connect the EVK to the PC. There are two ways to supply power and transfer data: 1) If you use the USB cable, you should install the jumper on the top right-hand corner
at the VSEL interface (see Figure 3-3), and connect the EVK to the PC for power supply and data transmission. 2) If you use the 12 V power adapter, you should install the jumper on the top left-hand corner at the VSEL interface (see Figure 3-3), and use the straight through serial cable to transfer data. Step 4: Open the UPrecise software on the PC. Step 5: Configure the receiver through UPrecise to display the constellation view, data stream, tracking status, etc. For more information, please refer to UPrecise_User Manual.

4.2 Power Consumption Test
Taking the power consumption of VCC_CORE as an example, when the EVK is powered off, remove the jumper on the VCC_CORE interface (as shown in Figure 3-4), and use two alligator clip test leads; connect one end of the leads to the tested pins and the other end to a multimeter. Adjust the multimeter to the current mode, and set the gear to “A”. Power on the EVK, and check the test current of the ammeter after normal positioning, and the value of 3.3V * test value is the chip’s core power consumption. Use similar method to test the power consumption of VCC_IO and V_BACK respectively.
