Automatic
Detection
This is the suggested method if the radio configuration is changed regularly or if the
radio status is required as part of the regular work flow.
A radio detect procedure is automatically run when the SMART7 is restarted, so the
SMART7 is ready to configure the radio or query the radio status.
The radio detection procedure must complete before the SMART7 can start receiving
RTK corrections.
Before the radio can be detected, manually or automatically, the SMART7 must be configured to
use the RELAY7. See
Configure the SMART7 to Use RELAY7
3.2.1 Detect the Radio Manually
In order to configure or query settings, the SMART7 must detect that a radio module is present.
1. Use the
SATELSTATUS
log to monitor the status of the radio.
LOG SATELSTATUS ONCHANGED
<OK
SATELSTATUS UNDETECTED NONE ""
2. Use the
SATELDETECT
command to specify COM3.
SATELDETECT COM3
The
SATELSTATUS
log reports DETECTING while the SMART7 is searching for the radio. The
log displays READY once the operation is complete.
SATELSTATUS DETECTING NONE ""
SATELSTATUS READY NONE ""
Information such as radio type, hardware version and software version are now available in
the
VERSION
log.
3.2.2 Auto Detect the Radio
To configure the radio to automatically detect the radio at SMART7 power up, automatic radio
detection must be configured:
1. Issue the
SATELSTARTUPDETECT
command to enable auto-detection on the COM3 port.
SATELSTARTUPDETECT ENABLE COM3
2. Use the
SAVECONFIG
command to save the configuration.
SAVECONFIG
3.3 Configure the RELAY7 Radio
Settings for the RELAY7 radio are saved on the radio module. They are not lost when a RESET or
FRESET command is sent to the SMART7.
When issuing radio commands, the receiver responds to the command immediately after check-
ing that all parameters of the command contain acceptable values. However, due to radio oper-
ations it can take some time to complete the change on the radio. Use the
SATELSTATUS
log to
monitor the status of the radio operations.
