This command is used to switch the receiver between models previously added with the AUTH command. When the MODEL command is issued, the receiver saves the specified model as the active model. The active model is now used on every subsequent start up. The MODEL command causes an automatic reset.
Use the VALIDMODELS log to output a list of available models on the receiver. Use the VERSION log to output the active model. Use the AUTHCODES log to output a list of the auth codes present on the receiver.
If the MODEL command is used to switch to an expired model, the receiver will reset and enter into an error state. Switch to a valid model to continue.

NovAtel uses the term models to refer to and control different levels of functionality in the receiver firmware. For example, a receiver may be purchased with an L1 only capability and be easily upgraded at a later time to a more feature intensive model, like L1/L2 dual-frequency. All that is required to upgrade is an authorization code for the higher model and the AUTH command. Reloading the firmware or returning the receiver for service to upgrade the model is not required. Upgrades are available from novatel.com/support.
