SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B 13NoticesNoticeThe following notices apply to the SMART-MR10. For more information on emissions testing, please refer to the regulatory body in your geographic area; for example, in the US, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and in Europe, the Conformité Européenne (CE).FCCThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.SMART-MR10 has been tested and found to comply with the emission limits for a Class B digital device. The Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. SMART-MR10 has been certified by FCC for use in the 2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz band (FCC ID # TBD).This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:• Re-orient or relocate the SMART-MR10• Increase the separation between the equipment and the SMART-MR10• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the SMART-MR10 is connected• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for helpIMPORTANT:  In order to maintain compliance as a Class “A” or Class “B” digital device, shielded cables should be used for the RS-232 serial data ports (Belden 1036A or equivalent) and twisted pair cable should be used for the CAN port (shielded twisted pair will improve CAN performance in electrically harsh environments). I/O signals should be referred to one of the two signal grounds (connector pin 9 or connector pin 15) and not power ground (connector pin 2). If I/O signals route to different areas of the vehicle, dedicated signal grounds for I/O should be spliced into a common connection to one of the two signal grounds (pin 9 or pin 15).] at a point close to the SMART-MR10.

28 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 2 Installation and Setup 2.1.5 Mounting the SMART-MR10When installing the SMART-MR10:• Choose a location that has a clear view of the sky so that each satellite above the horizon can be tracked without obstruction.• Mount on a secure, stable structure capable of safe operation in the specific environment. Typical installation is the vehicle roof.2.1.6 Connecting Data Communications EquipmentTo communicate with the receiver by sending commands and obtaining logs, a connection to data communications equipment is required. See Table 7 on page 69 for more information.2.2 Additional Features and InformationThis section contains information on additional features of the SMART-MR10, which may affect the overall design of your receiver system.2.2.1 MKI and PPS StrobesInput (MKI) and output (PPS) strobes provide status and synchronization signals. PPS is a 3.3V CMOS output; MKI is a 5V-tolerant input. Pin-out information can be found on Page 69.MKI can be used in conjunction with the MARKTIME and MARKPOS logs. For information about these logs, refer to OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual, available on the NovAtel Support Web site at http://www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htm.2.2.2 Status IndicatorsLED indicators on the SMART-MR10 provide receiver status information:• Position Status• Position Type• Power
Installation and Setup Chapter 2 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  29Table 4 shows the meaning of the LED states in the expected sequence after power is applied. Flashing means that the LED is turning on and off at a 1 Hz rate - 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off.Debugging Guidelines:• If the power is on but the yellow LED doe not flash within one minute, then no satellites are tracking. There may be excessive blockage or the unit may be defective. Make sure the unit has an unobstructed view of the sky. Try power cycling the unit.• If the yellow LED does not flash within one minute and power cycling the unit does not fix the problem, request a VERSION log to ensure that the auth code is correct.Example of a receiver loaded with an incorrect auth code:<ok[com1]<version com1 0 72.0 unknown 0 12.387 004c0001 3681 5053<     3<          gpscard "invalid authcode" "dhc09401009" "mcagtp-1.00-22b" "3.710" "3.002" "2009/dec/30" "11:20:58"<          db_userappauto "smartag" "0" "" "1.100" "" "2010/jan/25" "17:32:44"<          userinfo "no bt" "" "" "" "" "" ""[com1]• If the yellow LED is flashing but does not progress to solid yellow within one minute, then insufficient satellites are tracking or the signal quality is poor and ephemeris data can’t be received.

Make sure the unit has an unobstructed view of the sky. Try power cycling the unit.• If the yellow LED is on, but the green does not turn on within five minutes than no SBAS or DGPS positions are available. If you are using SBAS, make sure SBAS is available in your area and that the unit is configured to enable SBAS positions (SBASCONTROL ENABLE). For DGPS, make sure the unit is configured with the correct serial port parameters and to accept the DGPS protocol your area is using and that your data modem is connected and working.• The green LED blinks when SBAS is detected then it comes on solid when SBAS is enabled. The LED will stay dark if SBAS is not detected.2.2.3 Emulated Radar (ER)The SMART-MR10 outputs an emulated radar signal via the bare wires labeled ER GND and ER_OUT on the SMART-MR10 cable. See Table 9 on page 72 for the pin-out details of this cable.The ER outputs a logic high of supply voltage minus 0.5V minimum and logic low of 0.5V maximum with a rise and fall time of less than 1 ms. Its output references signal GND and provides logic low output until its speed is greater than 1 km/hr. ER can be configured to operate at one of three distinct frequencies (26.11, 28.12 or 36.11 Hz/km/hr, with 36.11 Hz/km/hr being the default value) and with an effective range from 1 km/hr to 55 km/hr for near-horizontal applications. See Appendix B.6 PDPFILTER Enable, disable or reset the PDP filter on page 84 for more information.2.2.4 Controller Area Network (CAN)NMEA 2000 is a CAN standard created by the National Marine Electronics Association and designed to support networking in marine applications. It functions over a longer physical distance, and supports more physical nodes than ISO 11783. The relationship between NMEA2000 and SAE J1939 is that J1939 is the standard, while the NMEA 2000 group has added some new messages (called PGNs or Parameter Group Numbers) and added a new, additional transport protocol called FastPacket. NMEA2000 compliant, for all intents and purposes, means J1939 compliant plus support for new NMEA2000 messages. In other word, one cannot have NMEA2000 without J1939 support as well. J1939 is additionally “harmonized” with ISO 11783, a standard for the agriculture industry.
Installation and Setup Chapter 2 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  31The CAN module is generally not user-interactive. It is activated when a SETCANNAME command is entered, and after a SAVECONFIG, the CAN module is activated immediately on all subsequent start-ups.

32 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 3 OperationBefore operating the SMART-MR10 for the first time, please ensure that you have followed the installation instructions in Chapter 2 Installation and Setup starting on page 21. The following instructions are based on a COM port configuration such as that shown in Figure 8 on page 36. It is assumed that a personal computer (PC), or laptop, is used during initial operation and testing for greater ease and versatility.3.1 Communications with the ReceiverCommunication with the receiver typically consists of issuing commands through the communication ports from an external serial communications device. This could be either a terminal or PC/laptop that is directly connected to the receiver serial port using a DB-9 connector on the SMART-MR10 multi-cable. If you are using a radio, it connects to another DB-9 connector on the same multi-cable by means of the radio serial cable supplied with the radio. It is recommended that you become thoroughly familiar with the commands and logs detailed in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual to ensure maximum utilization of the receiver’s capabilities.3.1.1 Serial Port Default SettingsThe receiver communicates with your PC/laptop or terminal via an RS-232 serial port. For communication to occur, both the receiver and the operator interface have to be configured properly. The receiver’s COM1, COM2 and AUX default port settings are as follows:• 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshaking, echo offChanging the default settings requires using the COM command. See Appendix B.3, COM Configure COM Port starting on page 75 for details.COM1 can be configured as RS422. It can also be configured with flow control. COM3 is not available if COM1 flow control is enabled or if COM1 is configured as RS422. The default configuration, with the MODE pin unconnected, is that COM1 is RS232 with no flow control. SMART-MR10 configuration using the Mode pin is summarized in Table 3,  Use of MODE Pin on page 22.The data transfer rate you choose determines how fast information is transmitted. Take for example a log whose message byte count is 96. The default port settings allows 10 bits/byte (8 data bits + 1 stop bit + 1 framing bit). It therefore takes 960 bits per message. To get 10 messages per second then requires 9600 bps. Also remember that even if you set the bps to 9600 the actual data transfer rate is lower and depends on the number of satellites being tracked, data filters in use, and idle time. It is suggested that you leave yourself a margin when choosing a data rate (115200 is recommended for most applications).
Operation Chapter 3 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  33CAUTION!: Although the receiver can operate at data transfer rates as low as 300 bps, this is not desirable. For example, if several data logs are active (that is, a significant amount of information needs to be transmitted every second) but the bit rate is set too low, data will overflow the serial port buffers, cause an error condition in the receiver status and result in lost data.3.1.2 Communicating Using a Remote TerminalOne method of communicating with the receiver is through a remote terminal. The receiver has been pre-wired to allow proper RS-232 interface with your data terminal. To communicate with the terminal, the receiver only requires the RX, TX, and GND lines to be used. Request to Send (RTS)/ Clear to Send (CTS) hardware handshaking is not available. Ensure the terminal’s communications set-up matches the receiver’s RS-232 protocol.3.1.3 Communicating Using a Personal ComputerA PC/laptop can be set up to emulate a remote terminal as well as provide the added flexibility of creating multiple-command batch files and data logging storage files. Any standard communications software package that emulates a terminal can be used to establish bidirectional communications with the receiver, for example, HyperTerminal or our own graphic user interface (GUI) program, CDU. All data is sent as raw 8-bit binary or ASCII characters.3.2 Getting StartedIncluded with your receiver are NovAtel’s CDU and Convert programs. CDU is a Windows-based GUI which allows you to access the receiver's many features without the need for communications protocol or to write special software. The Convert utility is a Windows-based utility that allows you to convert between file formats, and strips unwanted records for data file compilation. See also 2.1.2, Installing the PC Utilities on page 23.3.2.1 Starting the ReceiverWhen first powered, the SMART-MR10 undergoes a complete self-test. If an error condition is detected during a self-test, the self-test status word changes. This self-test status word can be viewed in the header of any data output log. Refer to the chapter on Messages in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual for header information. If a persistent error develops, please contact your local NovAtel dealer first. If the problem is still unresolved, please contact NovAtel directly through any of the methods listed in the Customer Service section at the beginning of this manual on page 15.
34 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 3 Operation 3.2.2 Communicating with the Receiver Using CDULaunch the CDU program and select Device | Open from its main menu. The Open Configuration window appears. Figure 7, below, shows an Open Configuration window with three possible configurations already set up. Your configurations may be different or you may have none at all, in which case, the Open Configuration window is empty. Figure 7: Open Configuration WindowRefer to CDU’s help file by selecting the Help | Contents menu. Ensure you can see the Console and ASCII Messages windows by selecting them from the View menu.When the receiver is first turned on, no data is transmitted from the COM ports except for the port prompt. The console window displays a port name:[COM1] if connected to COM1 port,or[COM2] if connected to COM2 port,Any of the above prompts indicate that the receiver is ready and waiting for command input. 1. You may also have to wait for output from receiver self tests. For example, on start-up, the OEMV family receiver is set to log the RXSTATUSEVENTA log ONNEW on all ports. Refer to the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual for more details.2. If you find that CDU is unable to locate your OEMV family receiver, it may be that you have previously used the SAVECONFIG command. In this case, try using a different COM port to communicate to the receiver. Once communication has been established, issue the command FRESET STANDARD. You should now be able to use your original communication port again.
Operation Chapter 3 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  35Commands are typed at the interfacing computing device’s keypad or keyboard, and executed after issuing a carriage return command which is usually the same as pressing the <Enter> key.An example of a response to an input command is the FIX POSITION command, as shown in the following example:[COM2] fix position 51.11635 -114.0383 1048.2 [carriage return]<OKwhere [COM2] is the port prompt, followed by the command you enter from your keypad or keyboard and [carriage return] indicates that you should press the <Enter> key.The example above illustrates the command input to the base receiver’s COM2 port, which sets the position of the base station receiver for differential operation. Confirmation that the command was actually accepted is the appearance of <OK.If a command is entered incorrectly, the receiver responds with:<INVALID MESSAGE ID (or a more detailed message)WARNING!: Ensure the Control Panel’s Power Settings on your PC/laptop are not set to go into Hibernate or Standby modes. Data will be lost if one of these modes occurs during a logging session.3.3 Transmitting and Receiving CorrectionsRTK or DGPS corrections can be transmitted from a base station to a rover station to improve position accuracy. The base station is the GNSS receiver, which is acting as the stationary reference. It has a known position and transmits correction messages to the rover station. The rover station is the GNSS receiver which does not know its exact position and can be sent correction messages from a base station to calculate differential GNSS positions. The SMART-MR10 can be used as a base receiver to transmit RTK or DGPS corrections or a rover to receive the same corrections. An example of differential setup is given in Figure 8 on page 36.

Refer to the NovAtel web site at http://www.novatel.com/support/ for more information. In most cases you need to provide a data link between the base station and rover station (two NovAtel receivers) in order to receive corrections. The application of SBAS corrections to a single receiver are an exception to the base/rover concept. Generally, a link capable of data throughput at a rate of 9600 bits per second, and less than 4.0 s latency, is recommended.

This requires using the INTERFACEMODE command to dedicate one direction of a serial port to only that message type. When the INTERFACEMODE command is used to change the mode from the default, NOVATEL, you can no longer use NovAtel format messages.If you want to mix NovAtel format messages and RTCA, RTCAOBS2, RTCM, RTCMV3, CMR+ or CMR messages on the same port, you can leave the INTERFACEMODE set to NOVATEL and log out variants of the standard correction messages with a NovAtel header. ASCII or binary variants can be requested by simply appending an "A" or "B" to the standard message name. For example on the base station:interfacemode com2 novatel novatelfix position 51.11358042 -114.04358013 1059.4105log com2 rtcm1b ontime 2Using the receiver in this mode consumes more CPU bandwidth than using the native differential messages as shown in Section 3.3.1, Base Station Configuration on Page 37.
40 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 3 Operation At the rover station you can leave the INTERFACEMODE default settings (interfacemode com2 novatel novatel). The rover receiver recognizes the default and uses the corrections it receives with a NovAtel header.The PSRDIFFSOURCE and RTKSOURCE commands set the station ID values which identify the base stations from which to accept pseudorange or RTK corrections respectively. They are useful commands when the rover station is receiving corrections from multiple base stations. Refer to the GNSS Reference Book for more information on SBAS, available from our Web site at: http://www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htmAll PSRDIFFSOURCE entries fall back to SBAS (even NONE) for backwards compatibility.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 Family 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 Web site at http://www.novatel.com/support/knowledgedb.htm.3.3.5 SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems)A Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is a type of geostationary satellite system that improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability of the basic GNSS signals. Accuracy is enhanced through the use of wide area corrections for GNSS orbits and ionospheric errors. Integrity is enhanced by the SBAS network quickly detecting satellite signal errors and sending alerts to receivers to not use the failed satellite. Availability is improved by providing an additional ranging signal to each SBAS geostationary satellite.OEMV family receivers, including the SMARTR-MR10, are capable of SBAS positioning. This positioning mode is enabled using the SBASCONTROL command.   The following command is used to automatically track and use the SBAS service available in the area of operation, for example, WAAS or EGNOS:sbascontrol enable autoFor further information on SBASCONTROL, refer to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual, available from the NovAtel Web site.WAAS (Wide-Area Augmentation System)The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) to provide accurate positioning to the aviation industry. As well as providing the industry with this high quality service, it is available to all other civilian users and markets in North America,
Operation Chapter 3 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  41free of charge. Future developments to this system will encompass the L5 signal. EGNOSEGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) has been developed to work with existing satellite navigation systems to improve the accuracy of navigation signals. The EGNOS signal is transmitted by two geostationary satellites and covers all of Europe. EGNOS transmits a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy of the positioning signals sent out by GPS.ESTB (EGNOS System Test Bed) is a reduced version of EGNOS using dedicated monitoring stations and processing devices. EGNOS and ESTB are two independent systems making use of their own ground segment infrastructure and different GEOs. EGNOS and ESTB broadcast two different signals. The ESTB is broadcast on PRN (pseudorandom number) 126 and EGNOS is broadcast on PRNs 120 and 124.Due to the experimental nature of the ESTB, the signals are broadcast without any guarantee of service.Use of the ESTB signal is not recommended by NovAtel. Use this command to prevent tracking PRN 126: WAAS17 0 1 0 126 255 0 0 0 0 0 0 0. EGNOS entered its pre-operational phase in 2006 and at the time of writing is still in test mode and so the signal broadcast by the EGNOS satellites (via PRNs 120 & 124) should be used with caution. By default NovAtel receivers will not use SBAS signals in test mode. If you wish to use these signals you must issue the following command:sbascontrol enable egnos 0 zerototwoMore information on the ESTB can be found at http://www.esa.int/estb. More information on EGNOS can be found at http://www.esa.int/egnos.
42 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 3 Operation 3.4GL1DE®SMART-MR10 contains NovAtel’s GL1DE,a positioning algorithm for single frequency GPS and GPS/GLONASS applications. GL1DE produces a smooth position output tuned for applications where optimal time relative (pass to pass) accuracy is more important than absolute accuracy, making it well suited for agricultural applications.Multipath signals tend to induce time-varying biases and increase the measurement noise on the L1 pseudorange measurements. Carrier phase measurements are much less susceptible to the effects of multipath. The GL1DE algorithm fuses the information from the L1 code and the L1 phase measurements into a Position-Time-Velocity (PVT) solution.GL1DE includes settings for a dynamic mode, a static mode, and an “auto” mode, where the filtering parameters are automatically adjusted as vehicle velocity varies between stationary and dynamic states.Refer to the NovAtel white papers at www.novatel.ca/products/whitepapers.htm for more information on GL1DE. Refer also to application note “APN-038 Pseudorange/Delta-Phase (PDP) and GL1DE Filters” at www.novatel.com/support/applicationnotes.htm.3.5ALIGN®3.5.1ALIGN Heading Master and Remote ConfigurationsThis section shows you how to set up a master station with an ALIGN-capable remote receiver for applications that require heading output.

The output of the sensor is a digital pulse, the frequency of which is proportional to the vehicle’s ground speed. This is particularly useful for applications such as spraying and planting. The SMART-MR10 eliminates the need for
Operation Chapter 3 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  43separate ground-sensing radar equipment by converting the GPS-derived velocity to proportional frequency output. The following emulated radar signal parameters can be configured by the customer:• Frequency Step: Specifies how the frequency output relates to the vehicle speed.• Signal Update Rate: Specifies how often the frequency output is updated to match the vehicle speed.• Response Mode: Specifies how quickly changes in velocity are reflected  in the f requ e ncy ou tput .                     Setting a slower response mode reduces spikes (noise) in the velocity but increases latency.                    Setting a higher response mode reduces latency, but may result in noisier frequency output. Refer to Appendix B.6, PDPFILTER Enable, disable or reset the PDP filter starting on page 84 for more detailed information.Once it is configured using the RADARCFG command (see page 84), Emulated Radar (ER) data is output through the SMART-MR10 cable (see Table 7 on page 69) and the RADARSIGNAL log (see page 93).3.7 Recommended ConfigurationThe following command is recommended to enable CAN:setcanname 305The following command is recommended to enable SBAS(WAAS/EGNOS/MSAS) corrections:sbascontrol enableThe following commands are recommended to enable GL1DE:pdpfilter enablepdpmode relative autoNovAtel has registered manufactured ID code 305 with J1939.

PC Utilities Chapter 4 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  534.4 Firmware UpgradesThe receiver stores its program firmware in non-volatile memory, which allows you to perform firmware upgrades without having to return the receiver to the distributor. New firmware can be transferred to the receiver through COM1, and the unit will immediately be ready for operation at a higher level of performance.The first step in upgrading your receiver is to contact your local NovAtel dealer. Your dealer will assist you in selecting the best upgrade option that suits your specific GPS needs. If your needs are still unresolved after seeing your dealer then you can contact NovAtel directly through any of the methods described in the Customer Service section, page 15, at the beginning of this manual.When you call, have your receiver model number, serial number, and program revision level available. This information can be found by issuing the LOG VERSION command at the port prompt.After establishing which new model/revision level would best suit your needs, and having described the terms and conditions, you will be issued an authorization code (auth-code). The auth-code is required to unlock the new features according to your authorized upgrade model type.To upgrade to a higher performance model at the same firmware revision level, you can use the AUTH command with the issued auth-code.If you are upgrading to a higher firmware revision level, you will need to transfer new program firmware to the OEMV family receiver using the WinLoad utility program. As WinLoad and the upgrade file are generally provided in a compressed file format, you will also be given a decompression password. WinLoad and the upgrade files can be found on NovAtel's FTP site at http://www.novatel.com, or can be sent to you by e-mail.Your local NovAtel dealer will provide you with all the information that you require to upgrade your receiver.4.4.1 Upgrading Using the AUTH CommandThe AUTH command is a special input command which authorizes the enabling or unlocking of the various model features. Use this command when upgrading to a higher performance OEMV family model available within the same revision level as your current model. This command only functions in conjunction with a valid auth-code assigned by Customer Service.The upgrade can be performed directly from CDU's Command Line Screen, or from any other communications program. The procedure is as follows:1. Power-up the OEMV family receiver and establish communications over a serial port (see Chapter 4 Operation in the OEMV Family Installation and Operation User Manual).2. Issue the LOG VERSION command to verify the current firmware model number, revision level, and serial number.3. Issue the AUTH command, followed by the auth-code and model type. The syntax is as follows:Syntax:auth auth-codewhere auth is a special command which allows program model upgrades
54 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BChapter 4 PC Utilities auth-code is the upgrade authorization code, expressed as hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,model# where the h characters are an ASCII hexadecimal code, and the model# would be ASCII textExample:auth 17cb,29af,3d74,01ec,fd34,l1smrterOnce the AUTH command has been executed, the OEMV family receiver will reboot itself. Issuing the LOG VERSION command will confirm the new upgrade model type and version number.If communicating using CDU, the communication path needs to be closed and re-opened using the Device menu.4.4.2 Updating Using the WinLoad UtilityWinLoad is required (instead of the AUTH command) when upgrading previously released firmware with a newer version of program and model firmware. WinLoad is a Windows utility program designed to facilitate program and model upgrades. Once WinLoad is installed and running, it will allow you to select a host PC serial port, bit rate, directory path, and file name of the new program firmware to be transferred to the OEMV family receiver via its COM1 or COM2 port. The port chosen must have an RS-232 interface to the PC.Transferring Firmware FilesTo proceed with your program upgrade, you must first acquire the latest firmware revision. You will need a file with a name such as OEMXXXX.EXE (where XXXX is the firmware revision level). This file is available from NovAtel's FTP site (http://www.novatel.com), or via e-mail (support@novatel.ca). If transferring is not possible, the file can be mailed to you on CD. For more information on how to contact NovAtel Customer Service please see page 15 at the beginning of this manual.You will need at least 1 MB of available space on your hard drive. For convenience, you may wish to copy this file to a GPS sub-directory (for example, C:\GPS\LOADER).The file is available in a compressed format with password protection; Customer Service will provide you with the required password. After copying the file to your computer, it must be decompressed. The syntax for decompression is as follows:Syntax:[filename] [password]where filename is the name of the compressed file (but not including the .EXE extension) and password is the password required to allow decompressionExample:oem1001 12345678A Windows-based dialog box is provided for password entry.The self-extracting archive will then generate the following files:WinLoad.exe WinLoad utility programHowTo.txt Instructions on how to use the WinLoad utility

SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B 73Appendix B  CommandsThe SMART-MR10 firmware implements the OEMV family command set, documented in OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual. For convenience, commonly used SMART-MR10 commands are summarized in Table 11 and documented in this appendix. Table 11:  Commonly Used SMART-MR10 Commands in Alphabetical OrderThe arguments for each of these commands are described in the following sections.For a complete listing and description of the other commands that the SMART-MR10, an OEMV-3 based receiver, is capable of processing, refer to the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual.B.1 SYNTAX CONVENTIONSThe following rules apply when entering commands, at the command prompt, from a keyboard.1. Courier font is used to illustrate program output or user input.2. References to other commands, logs or any of their fields are shown in italics.3. The commands are not case sensitive. For example, you could type either RESET or reset.4. Except where noted, either a space or a comma can separate commands and their required entries. For example, you could type either fix position 51.11358042 -114.04358013 1059.4105 or fix position 51.11358042, -114.04358013, 1059.4105.5. At the end of a command, a carriage return is required. For example, press <Enter> or <Return> on your keyboard.6. Responses are provided to indicate whether or not an entered command was accepted. The format of the response depends on the format of the command.

For commands that contain optional parameters, the value used if the optional parameter is not specified is given in the syntax table for the command.8. Data format definitions, as specified in the “Format” field, are detailed in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual. Note that all binary data is little-endian byte-ordered.B.2 BTCONTROL Enable/Disable BluetoothThe BTCONTROL command enables or disables the Bluetooth module. To ensure no possibility of interference, when the module is disabled it is completely powered down.Abbreviated ASCII Syntax: Message ID: 8205BTCONTROL switchFactory Default:The Bluetooth module is enabled by default.Example 1 to disable Bluetooth:btcontrol disableExample 2 to enable Bluetooth:btcontrol enable1. If users want the current state of the Bluetooth module to persist across receiver resets and power-ups, they should issue a saveconfig command.2. Changing the Bluetooth from disabled to enabled takes several seconds to execute. This means that, even though the user will get an immediate “OK>” response followed by the COM prompt, the Bluetooth module may not be ready for communication.Field Data Description Binary Bytes Binary Format Binary Offset1header This field contains the command name or the message header depending on whether the command is abbreviated ASCII, ASCII or binary, respectively.- - 02switch Enable or disable Bluetooth0 = ENABLE1 = DISABLE(default = ENABLE)4Enum H
Commands Appendix BSMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  75B.3 COM Configure COM PortThis command permits you to configure the receiver’s asynchronous serial port communications drivers.The current COM port configuration can be reset to its default state at any time by sending it two hardware break signals of 250 milliseconds each, spaced by fifteen hundred milliseconds (1.5 seconds) with a pause of at least 250 milliseconds following the second break. This will:• Stop the logging of data on the current port (see UNLOGALL command in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).• Clear the transmit and receive buffers on the current port.• Return the current port to its default settings (see Factory Defaults section in Chapter 2 Commands of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).• Set the interface mode to NovAtel for both input and output (see INTERFACEMODE command in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).Baud rates higher than 115,200 bps are not supported by standard PC hardware. Special PC hardware may be required for higher rates, including 230400 bps, 460800 bps and 921600 bps. Also, some PC's have trouble with baud rates beyond 57600 bps.Abbreviated ASCII Syntax: Message ID: 4COM [port] bps [parity[databits[stopbits[handshake[echo[break]]]]]]Factory Default:com com1 9600 n 8 1 n off oncom com2 9600 n 8 1 n off oncom aux 9600 n 8 1 n off onDo not alter the COM3 port configuration, since COM3 is reserved for Bluetooth.ASCII Example:com com1,57600,n,8,1,n,off,onWatch for situations where the COM ports of two receivers are connected together and the baud rates do not match. Data transmitted through a port operating at a slower baud rate may be misinterpreted as break signals by the receiving port if it is operating at a higher baud rate. This is because data transmitted at the lower baud rate is stretched relative to the higher baud rate. In this case, configure the receiving port to have break detection disabled using the COM command.
76 SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0BAppendix B CommandsWARNING!: Use the COM command before using the INTERFACEMODE command on each port. Turn break detection off using the COM command to stop the port from resetting because it is interpreting incoming bits as a break command.

An additional target field, userdata (value = 10), resets only the SMART-MR10 user data NVM, thereby resetting all parameters indicated in this document as “Stored in NVM” to factory defaults. Issuing the FRESET command with the “target” field set to standard, resets the userdata NVM as well as OEMV parameters as indicated in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual.If you issue the FRESET command without any parameters, it is the same as issuing a FRESET STANDARD command.

Commands Appendix BSMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  79B.5 LOG Request Logs from the ReceiverMany different types of data can be logged using several different methods of triggering the logevents. Every log element can be directed to any combination of the three COM ports and three USBports. The ONTIME trigger option requires the addition of the period parameter. See the OEMVFamily Firmware Reference Manual for further information and a complete list of data log structures.The LOG command tables in this section show the ASCII command format.The optional parameter [hold] prevents a log from being removed when the UNLOGALL command,with its defaults, is issued. To remove a log which was invoked using the [hold] parameter requires thespecific use of the UNLOG command. To remove all logs that have the [hold] parameter, use theUNLOGALL command with the held field set to 1.The [port] parameter is optional. If [port] is not specified, [port] is defaulted to the port that the com-mand was received on.1. The OEMV family of receivers can handle 30 logs at a time. If you attempt to log more than 30 logs at a time, the receiver responds with an Insufficient Resources error. Each COM port (serial and USB) already has RXSTATUSEVENT log associated with it. This means that with 3 serial ports and no USB ports, 7 logs are already accounted for, as shown below:• RXSTATUSEVENT on COM1, COM2, and COM3• TRACKSTAT, BESTVEL, and PSRXYZ on XCOM1See the example on the next page. 2. Maximum flexibility for logging data is provided to the user by these logs. The user is cautioned, however, to recognize that each log requested requires additional CPU time and memory buffer space. Too many logs may result in lost data and degraded CPU performance. Receiver overload can be monitored using the idle-time field and buffer overload bits of the Receiver Status in any log header.3. Polled log types do not allow fractional offsets or ONTIME rates faster than 1Hz.4. Use the ONNEW trigger with the MARKTIME, MARK2TIME, MARKPOS or MARK2POS logs. 5. Only the MARKPOS, MARK2POS, MARKTIME or MARK2TIME logs, and ‘polled’ log types are generated ‘on the fly’ at the exact time of the mark. Synchronous and asynchronous logs output the most recently available data.6. If you do use the ONTIME trigger with asynchronous logs, the time stamp in the log does not necessarily represent the time the data was generated, but rather the time when the log is being transmitted.

The main advantages of the Pseudorange/Delta-Phase (PDP) implementation are:• Smooths a jumpy position• Bridges outages in satellite coverage (the solution is degraded from normal but there is at least a reasonable solution without gaps)Enable the PDP filter to output the PDP solution in BESTPOS, BESTVEL and NMEA logs.Refer to the Operation chapter of the OEMV Installation and Operation Manual for a section on configuring your receiver for PDP orGL1DEoperation.GL1DE Position FilterGL1DEis a mode of the PDP1 filter which optimizes the position for consistency over time rather than absolute accuracy. This is ideally in clear sky conditions where the user needs a tight, smooth, and consistent output. The GL1DEfilter works best with CDGPS or WAAS. The PDP filter is smoother than a least squares fit but is still noisy in places. The GL1DEfilter produces a very smooth solution with consistent rather than absolute position accuracy. There should be less than 1 cm difference typically from epoch to epoch. GL1DEalso works in single point, DGPS and OmniSTAR VBS modes.

Commands Appendix BSMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B  89B.10 SBASCONTROL Set SBAS test mode and PRNThis command allows you to dictate how the receiver handles Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) corrections. The receiver automatically switches to Pseudorange Differential (RTCM or RTCA) or RTK if the appropriate corrections are received, regardless of the current setting.To enable the position solution corrections, you must issue the SBASCONTROL ENABLE command. The GPS receiver does not attempt to track any GEO satellites until you use the SBASCONTROL command to tell it to use either WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS corrections.When in AUTO mode, if the receiver is outside the defined satellite system’s corrections grid, it reverts to ANY mode and chooses a system based on other criteria.Once tracking satellites from one system in ANY or AUTO mode, it does not track satellites from other systems. This is because systems such as WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS do not share broadcast information and have no way of knowing each other are there.The “testmode” parameter in the example is to get around the test mode of these systems. EGNOS at one time used the IGNOREZERO test mode. At the time of printing, ZEROTOTWO is the correct setting for all SBAS, including EGNOS, running in test mode. On a simulator, you may want to leave this parameter off or specify NONE explicitly.When you use the SBASCONTROL command to direct the GPS receiver to use a specific correction type, the GPS receiver begins to search for and track the relevant GEO PRNs for that correction type only.You can force the GPS receiver to track a specific PRN using the ASSIGN command. You can force the GPS receiver to use the corrections from a specific SBAS PRN using the SBASCONTROL command.Disable stops the corrections from being used.Abbreviated ASCII Syntax: Message ID: 652sbascontrol keyword [system] [prn] [testmode]

SMART-MR10 User Manual Rev 0B 91Appendix C  LogsC.1 Position LogsC.1.1 NMEA LogsThe NMEA logs (receiver outputs) supported by the SMART-MR10 are summarized in Chapter 3 of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual in section "NMEA Standard Logs". The available logs include:• GPGGA, which outputs a log of position system fix data and undulation. There are variants of GPGGA, specifically:- GPGGARTK, which has greater precision than GPGGA but with the loss of the undulation field- GPGGALONG, which has both greater precision and the undulation field • GPVTG, which outputs track made good and ground speedEach of the available NMEA standard logs is described in more detail in its own section of Chapter 3 of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual.The steps for configuring the receiver output, through the command line are:1. Configure the communication port using the COM command, described in Appendix B.3, COM Configure COM Port on Page 75. To set COM port 2 as follows:enter the following string:com com2 9600 n 8 1 n off on2. Select and configure the NMEA string that you want to output. The information is described in Chapter 3 Data Logs of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual, in the section for the particular log. For example, to log gpgga (position system fix data and undulation) at 2 Hz, enter the following string:log gpgga ontime 0.5Bit Rate 9600Parity noneData Bits 8Stop Bits 1Handshaking NoneEcho OffBreak On
