unsigned long ulOnTime Ranging from 200 to 900 in units of milliseconds
Return Value

Remarks
  • SiRF receivers use a duty cycle mode called Trickle Power to reduce power consumption. There are two cycles that can be configured: one for acquisition mode and one for navigation mode. This function sets the duty cycle for acquisition mode. See SirfSetLowPowerMode for configuring the low power mode during navigation.
