Interface description
* VDC (DC power input):
* VBAT (Backup battery):
power is removed .Typical current draw is 10uA. Without an external backup battery,
the module/engine board will execute a cold star after every turn on. To achieve the

This pin provides an active-low reset input to the engine board. It causes the
faster start-up offered by a hot or warm start, a battery backup must be connected. To
maximize battery lifetime, the battery voltage should be between 2.5v and 3.6v.
* PBRES (Push button reset):

Do not connect.
This is the main transmits channel for outputting navigation and measurement

This pin provides one pulse-per-second output from the engine board that is
synchronized to GPS time.
* GND :
GND provides the ground for the engine board. Connect all grounds.
