Software installation
Included with every RT is a USB stick containing the software package NAVsuite. This package contains several
programs required to take full advantage of the RT’s capabilities. Table 6 lists the contents of NAVsuite.
Table 6. NAVsuite components
NAVstart
A menu from which you can navigate between OxTS
applications. This opens automatically when you are connected
to a unit.
NAVsolve
Used to download raw data files from the RT and post- process
the data. The configuration can be changed and differential
corrections can be applied before the data is reprocessed. It
can export NCOM, XCOM and CSV file formats.
NAVgraph
Used to graph NCOM, XCOM and RCOM files created in post-
process. It can display graphs, cursor tables and map plots and
data can be exported in CSV or KML (Google Earth) format.
NAVdisplay
Used to view real-time data from OxTS products via Ethernet or
a serial port. It can also be used to transmit special commands
and replay logged data.
NAVconfig
Used to create, send, and receive configurations from OxTS
products. As configurations vary between products there is no
manual for NAVconfig.
NAVbase
Used to configure and manage RT-Base S and GPS-Base base
stations, which can be used to achieve RTK integer level
position accuracy.
Manuals
This folder contains PDF versions of relevant OxTS manuals.
Other manuals can be downloaded from the OxTS website.
To install NAVsuite, insert the USB stick and run NAVsetup.exe. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the
software. By default, the installer creates the program files in C:\Program Files (x86)\OxTS on 64 bit operating
systems or C:\Program Files\OxTS on 32 bit operating systems.
The first time some OxTS applications are run, a firewall warning message similar to that shown in Figure 1
may be triggered. This is because the program is attempting to listen for, and communicate with, OxTS devices
on the network. The firewall must be configured to allow each program to talk on the network, or programs will
not work as intended.
