This document was initially released on September 27, 2021. Please be aware that if you bought your P-10 Pro after January 1, 2022, the firmware already includes support for 5Hz logging. There is no requirement for a firmware update. The Columbus flagship logger P-10 pro has been around for a while. It has excellent accuracy but its log frequency is only 1Hz. Today, I am very excited about getting the 5Hz firmware from Columbus GPS. The firmware increases the log frequency from 1Hz to 5Hz. Very cool stuff!  This could be a groundbreaking feature for some people. For example, the ones...

P-1 has a built-in 1900mAhrechargeable battery. In normal mode, P-1 can continuously log at 1Hz interval for 60-65 hours. If using 5 minutes spy mode and 1Hz log mode together, the battery runtime can be 15 days.

The available log intervals of P-1 GPS are 1Hz, 5Hz, and 10Hz.  P-1 GPS does NOT accept a 5 minutes interval. To achieve a 5 minutes interval, we have the below 2 options.   Option 1: Using the 1Hz interval in P-1 GPS, downloading the CSV file and using Excel to filter the data for every 300 seconds.    Option 2: Use “spy mode”. Set the spy mode to 5 minutes. When P-1 wakes up, it will log 8 waypoints. Meanwhile, the P-1 will need a little bit of time to get the position fixed. So you can achieve the...

Click here to see the manufacturer suggestions for obtaining high accuracy when operating Columbus P-10 Pro. The accuracy of Columbus P-10 Pro is 0.5m/CEP(50%). Q: What is 0.5m/CEP(50%)? A: CEP refers to Circular Error Probable. 0.5m/CEP(50%)* means that the probability of the track points falling within a 0.5m radius is greater than 50%;  * CEP tests perform under open environments & ideal GPS / GNSS placement.

The default update rate is 1Hz.  It can be configured to 5Hz by updating the firmware. Please request the  firmware download link by email to info@gpswebshop.com . (Please quote your order number in the subject line, we only provide this version of firmware to our customers. )
