Revised commands

Revised commands are listed in the following table.

Revised commands in OEM7

OEM6

OEM7

ANTENNAPOWER

3V3 option removed

If a short circuit or other problem causes an overload of the current supplied to the antenna, the receiver hardware shuts down the power supplied to the antenna. To restore power, power cycle the receiver. The Receiver Status word, available in the RXSTATUS log, provides more information about the cause of the problem.

ASSIGN, ASSIGNALL, LOCKOUT, SBASCONTROL, TRACKSV, UNLOCKOUT

The OEM7 tracks SBAS PRNs 120-158 and 183-187.

The OEM6 tracked 120-138 and 183-187

ASSIGNLBANDBEAM

This command now supports multiple L-band channels.

The Frequency field is entered only in Hz.

AUTH

New options were added for the State parameter

ASCII

Binary

Description

ERASE_TABLE

7

Erase all auth-codes from the system. Requires a special auth-code to prevent against accidental erasing

CLEAN_TABLE

8

Remove all invalid auth-codes from the system

Special auth-code for the ERASE_TABLE case: PW5W2B,WW5TM9,WW2PCZ,WW3M4H,WW4HPG,ERASE_AUTH

Special auth-code for the CLEAN_TABLE case:
4DR69H,G369W8,34MNJJ,5NHXCJ,GW7C75,CLEAN_AUTH

COMCONTROL

The COM ports available have changed to reflect the OEM7 receivers.

See the COMCONTROL command

CONNECTIMU

Added the EPSON G320N IMU.

Removed the Litef LCI-1 IMU.

For the IMU Type parameter, the ASCII values for IMU no longer use the "IMU_" prefix. However, the legacy ASCII values that contain the "IMU_" prefix are still supported. The binary IMU type values have not changed.

See the CONNECTIMU command

ETHCONFIG

Ethernet interface hardware now automatically connects properly to the other physical device

EXTERNALPVAS

The format of several of the options in this command have been changed from Double to Float.

See the EXTERNALPVAS command

FRESET

Added new FRESET targets.

Binary

ASCII

Description

10

USERDATA

Resets the user data saved using the NVMUSERDATA command

INTERFACEMODE

Added new Interface Mode options:

Binary

ASCII

Description

49

NOVATELMINBINARY

NovAtel binary message with a minimal header.
Only available for CCOM ports.

LOG

The optional parameters Period, Offset and Hold are only used when the Trigger is ONTIME. Previous versions of the firmware accepted (but ignored) non-zero values for Period and Offset even if the Trigger was not ONTIME. The firmware on OEM7 receivers will reject such commands and return an error.

It is especially important that these values are zero when entering a LOG command in Binary or ASCII format.

POSAVE

The “state” field no longer optional; default ON. A value must now be entered

SETINITAZIMUTH

The range for the standard deviation parameter has changed to 1 to 25 degrees.

New commands
