Novatel user manual Using the DL-V3, Log Data from a Site to a File

Operation Chapter 3

At the base station it is also possible to log out the contents of the standard corrections in a form that is easier to read or process. These larger variants have the correction fields broken out into standard types within the log, rather than compressed into bit fields. This can be useful if you wish to modify the format of the corrections for a non-standard application, or if you wish to look at the corrections for system debugging purposes. These variants have "DATA" as part of their names (for example, RTCADATA1, RTCMDATA1, CMRDATAOBS, and more). Refer also to the OEMV Firmware Reference Manual, which describes the various message formats in more detail.

Information on how to send multiple commands and log requests using DOS or Windows, can be found on our website at http://www.novatel.com/support/knowledgedb.htm.

3.4Using the DL-V3

A group is a set of logs for the receiver. The default software configuration for group information includes a group named default. A powerup group must be created to take advantage of the automatic logging functionality.

Upon acquisition of coarse time, if a group named powerup exists, the DL-V3 executes the group automatically.

The FRESET command allows you to reset the DL-V3 to its factory default settings. SITEDEF logs, refer to the DL-V3 Firmware Reference Manual, contain site record information. For example:

#SITEDEFA,COM1,0,61.0,FINESTEERING,1420,316947.028,00180020,e40c,2678;

3.4.1Log Data from a Site to a File

Consider the case of logging data at a site and appending filename and other information. The following steps apply to a base or rover site. For the base, you only need to log one file per session.

1. There is no need to continually start and stop logging if you are using post-processing software, where it is dealt with automatically.

2.Ensure your antenna is in the correct position at the base and rover.

To log a group and update the site information

1.Select the Group

2.Edit the Site

3.Start the Data Logging

4.Stop the Data Logging
