Version information

Platform:

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

This log contains the version information for all components of a system. A component may be hardware (for example, a receiver or data collector) or firmware in the form of applications or data (for example, data blocks for height models or user applications). See Table: Firmware and boot version field formats for details on the format of key fields.

The GPSCARD entry indicates the currently active software model, which determines which receiver features are authorized.

The VERSION log is a useful log as a first communication with your receiver. Once connected, using NovAtel Application Suite or a terminal emulator program, log VERSION and check that the output makes sense. Also, ensure that you have the receiver components you expected.

Field	Field type	Description	Format	Binary bytes	Binary offset
1	Log header	VERSION header For information about log headers, see ASCII, Abbreviated ASCII or Binary.		H	0
2	# comp	Number of components (cards, and so on)	Long	4	H
3	type	Component type (see Table: Component types)	Enum	4	H+4
4	model	When type is GPSCARD: Currently active software model name, e.g., CFNPNNTVN, indicates the receiver’s current model functionality (see Receiver Features: Authorization and Subscriptions). When type is ENCLOSURE: Name of the enclosure type.	Char[16]	16	H+8
5	psn	Product serial number	Char[16]	16	H+24
6	hw version	When type is GPSCARD: Hardware version in the format: <hardware platform>-<hardware revision> eg. OEM7700-1.0	Char[16]	16	H+40
