Assisted cold starting a Trimble Lassen SK-8 II

like how humans can form emotional bonds to roombas, i just think its cool that we made silicon stargaze too ✨

Lassen will search using up to 8 channels, for any satellite at all.

When Lassen finds a satellite it will try to download almanac. You need stable lock for at least 15 minutes because the download is slow....

Help Lassen along by saying where you are, so it can figure out just how pretty the sky will be. But the sky moves, so if you have even a partial almanac download, tell lassen what week it is from the GPS epoch. Almanac time wraps too, so don't sweat the rollover. When Lassen knows where to look, and what time they will be there, the search is more effective.
