SMART6-L Application Software
The SMART6-L receiver has two types of software loaded, the OEM6 firmware and the SMART6-L
Application Software. The OEM6 firmware provides the features that are common to all OEM6 receivers.
The Application Software provides the special features available on the SMART6-L, such as Emulated
Radar.
The Application Software is available from the NovAtel website at
www.novatel.com/support/firmware-
downloads
and is loaded onto the SMART6-L receiver using the same procedures used for the OEM6
