eliminates the need for separate ground-sensing radar equipment by converting the GPS-
derived velocity to a proportional frequency output. The following emulated radar signal para-
meters can be configured by the customer:
l
Frequency Step: Specifies how the frequency output relates to the vehicle speed.
l
Signal Update Rate: Specifies how often the frequency output is updated to match the
vehicle speed.
l
Response Mode: Specifies how quickly changes in velocity are reflected in the frequency out-
put. Setting a slower response mode reduces spikes (noise) in the velocity but increases
latency. Setting a higher response mode reduces latency, but may result in noisier frequency
output.
Refer to
RADARCONFIG
command for detailed information.
After it is configured using the
RADARCONFIG
command, Emulated Radar (ER) pulses are out-
put through the SMART Antenna interface cable and the
RADARSTATUS
log.
3.8 Logging Using NovAtel Connect
NovAtel Connect is a computer program used to configure and monitor NovAtel receivers.
The Logging Control Window in NovAtel Connect provides an interface to configure logging and
to collect logs from the receiver. The collected logs can be output to one of the receiver com-
munication ports or stored on the computer running NovAtel Connect.
For details about using NovAtel Connect, refer to the Help file available within NovAtel
Connect.
NovAtel Connect version 2.0 or greater is required for SMART2. Download the
latest NovAtel Connect software and documentation from
www.novatel.com/novatel-connect
To open the Logging Control window:
1. Open NovAtel Connect.
2. Establish a connection to the receiver.
3. Click the
button to open the Logging Control Window.
