Chapter 3 OEM7 Receiver Operation
OEM7 Installation and Operation User Manual v1 44
Detailed instructions for using NovAtel Connect are available from the Help system built
into NovAtel Connect.
When the receiver is first turned on, no data is transmitted from the COM ports except for the
port prompt.
[COM1] if connected to COM1 port
[COM2] if connected to COM2 port
or
[COM3] if connected to COM3 port
Any of the COM port prompts indicate that the receiver is ready and waiting for command input.
The screen may display other port names for other port types (e.g., USB1, USB2, USB3 or
ICOM1).
1.
Output from receiver self-tests may take some time. On startup, the OEM7 family
receiver is set to log the RXSTATUSEVENTA log ONNEW on all ports. See
RXSTATUSEVENT Log on page72 for more details.
2.
If NovAtel Connect is unable to locate the OEM7 family receiver, use a different COM
port to communicate with the receiver. When communication has been established,
issue a FRESET STANDARD command. The original communications port should be
ready for use. See the FRESET command for more information.
3.
XCOM1, XCOM2 and XCOM3 virtual ports can be generated by the receiver. However,
they are unlikely to appear as a port prompt as you cannot connect to these types of
ports using NovAtel Connect. Also, the XCOM ports are not available with the
SERIALCONFIG command but may be used with other commands, such as the
INTERFACEMODE command and LOG command. Refer to the OEM7 Commands and
Logs Reference Manual (OM-20000169) for details on the virtual ports.
An example of a response to an input FIX POSITION command:
[COM2] FIX POSITION 51.11635 -114.0383 1048.2 [Carriage Return]
<OK
In this example, [COM2] is the port prompt.
This example illustrates command input to the base receiver’s COM2 port that sets the position
of the base station receiver for differential operation.
If the command was accepted, the receiver responds with:
<OK
If a command is entered incorrectly, the receiver responds with:
<ERROR:Invalid Message ID (or a more detailed message)
Ensure the computer does not sleep or hibernate during a logging session or data will be
lost.
