Software models determine which receiver features are authorized for use (see Receiver Features: Authorization and Subscriptions).

The MODEL command is used to switch the receiver between software models previously added with the AUTH command. The available models are listed in the VALIDMODELS log.

The MODEL command saves the specified model as the selected permanent model and immediately resets the receiver. The specified model is applied on all subsequent starts.

The VERSION log shows the active model (which may differ from the selected permanent 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.

MODEL SERVICEPERIOD

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.
