SOFTLOADSETUP

Sends configuration information to the receiver for the SoftLoad process

Platform:

OEM719, OEM729, OEM7500, OEM7600, OEM7700, OEM7720, PwrPak7, CPT7, CPT7700, SMART7, SMART2

The SOFTLOADSETUP command can be used in place of the SOFTLOADSREC command when sending S0 Records. This command is meant to be used if the user requires that the entire SoftLoad process be performed in binary, but can also be used in ASCII or abbreviated ASCII. The examples below are given in abbreviated ASCII for simplicity.

Refer to Updating Using SoftLoad Commands for more information about the SoftLoad process.

This command can only be sent to the receiver when the SOFTLOADSTATUS log reports READY_FOR_SETUP.

After each SOFTLOADSETUP command, the user must wait for the OK or ERROR command response before proceeding. This response is guaranteed to be output from the receiver within 15 seconds from the time the command was received by the receiver. If an error response is returned, consult the SOFTLOADSTATUS log for more detail.

NovAtel S0 records use the following format: S0~X~<<DATA>>, where X is the Setup Type and <<DATA>> is a NULL terminated string. To convert from S0 record to the SOFTLOADSETUP command, convert the Setup Type to the appropriate Setup type enumeration, as described in Table: Available Set Up Commands, and copy the <<DATA>> string in to the Setup data string.
