Chapter 4 PC Utilities
auth-code is the upgrade authorization code, expressed as hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,hhhh,model# where
the h characters are an ASCII hexadecimal code, and the model# would be ASCII text
Example:
auth 17cb,29af,3d74,01ec,fd34,l1smrter
Once the AUTH command has been executed, the OEMV family receiver will reboot itself. Issuing
the LOG VERSION command will confirm the new upgrade model type and version number.
If communicating using
CDU
, the communication path needs to be closed and re-opened using the
Device menu.
4.4.2 Updating Using the WinLoad Utility
WinLoad is required (instead of the AUTH command) when upgrading previously released firmware
with a newer version of program and model firmware. WinLoad is a Windows utility program
designed to facilitate program and model upgrades. Once WinLoad is installed and running, it will
allow you to select a host PC serial port, bit rate, directory path, and file name of the new program
firmware to be transferred to the OEMV family receiver via its COM1 or COM2 port. The port chosen
must have an RS-232 interface to the PC.
Transferring Firmware Files
To proceed with your program upgrade, you must first acquire the latest firmware revision. You will
need a file with a name such as OEMXXXX.EXE (where XXXX is the firmware revision level). This
file is available from NovAtel's FTP site (
http://www.novatel.com ), or via e-mail
(support@novatel.ca). If transferring is not possible, the file can be mailed to you on CD. For more
information on how to contact NovAtel Customer Service please see
page 15 at the beginning of this
manual.
You will need at least 1 MB of available space on your hard drive. For convenience, you may wish to
copy this file to a GPS sub-directory (for example, C:\GPS\LOADER).
The file is available in a compressed format with password protection; Customer Service will provide
you with the required password. After copying the file to your computer, it must be decompressed.
The syntax for decompression is as follows:
Syntax:
[filename] [password]
where filename is the name of the compressed file (but not including the .EXE extension) and
password is the password required to allow decompression
Example:
oem1001 12345678
A Windows-based dialog box is provided for password entry.
The self-extracting archive will then generate the following files:
WinLoad.exe WinLoad utility program
