DL™ User Manual Rev 3
FOREWORD
Congratulations on your purchase of the DL, a GPS receiver with exceptional flexibility.
NovAtel is an industry leader in state-of-the-art GPS receiver design. We believe that our DL will meet your high
expectations, and are working hard to ensure that future products and enhancements will maintain that level of
satisfaction.
Scope
This manual provides sufficient information to allow you to set up and effectively use the DL. For any customer-service
problems or inquiries, please contact your dealer. If additional help is needed, contact Customer Service by any of the
means outlined on Page 8.
The following may provide you with additional valuable reference information:
•
SoftSurv User Manual - a description of the SoftSurv suite of GPS surveying programs and utilities. SoftSurv and DL
are complementary products designed to work together. SoftSurv software provides a user-friendly graphical interface
to the DL, allowing you to focus on your work without needing to learn about the MiLLennium’s commands and logs.
SoftSurv contains all that you would typically need to interact with and configure the DL.
•
MiLLennium GPSCard Command Descriptions Manual - a comprehensive description of every GPSCard command
and log available to you. You would only need to become familiar with this manual if you wished to interact with the
DL from the command-prompt interface, or in any other way chose not to use SoftSurv.
Throughout this document, metric SI (Système Internationale) units are used. Appendix G is included to assist you with
conversions to imperial units.
Wherever software commands are listed or described, certain conventions are followed. These are explained in the
section titled Syntax Conventions, Page 47.
WHAT’S NEW IN THIS EDITION
1. Peripheral equipment power can now be provided through the receiver’s COM2 port. The output voltage is the same
