Not an option. Here are the options:
usage: assistnow_example_v1.1.1.py [-h] -P PORT [-B BAUDRATE] -z ZTP_TOKEN
[-v] [-p | -l | -n]
AssistNow predictive/live orbit client example
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-P, --port PORT Serial port to connect to (e.g. COM1 or /dev/ttyUSB0)
-B, --baudrate BAUDRATE
Baud rate for serial communication (default: 38400)
-z, --ztp_token ZTP_TOKEN
ZTP device profile token
-v, --version Show version and exit
AssistNow Data Options:
-p, --predictive Obtain predictive orbits from AssistNow (default)
-l, --live Obtain live orbits instead of predictive orbits
-n, --no_assist Measure TTFF without any AssistNow data
