Each satellite broadcasts a digital message that contains two types of information. One type is ephemeris data, which includes the assigned serial number of the satellite; the status of the satellite (healthy or faulty); the current date and time. The second type is almanac data and includes precise orbital position of every satellite in the system.
At the initialize stage, di-GPS Basic needs all these data for the position fixed. It usually takes a minute to few minutes to receive all data. An open sky outdoor environment will enable faster acquisition process. It will take a longer time at a weak signal environment. Once di-GPS Basic locked to the satellites, it will take a few seconds for reacquisition even at weak signal environment.
