3.3.4 Configuration Notes
For compatibility with other GNSS receivers and to minimize message size, use the standard form of RTCMV3
corrections shown in the base and rover examples in
Transmitting and Receiving Corrections
on page 38. This
requires using the
INTERFACEMODE
command to dedicate one direction of a serial port to one message type
only. When the
INTERFACEMODE
command is used to change the mode from the NOVATEL default, the
NovAtel format messages can no longer be used.
To mix NovAtel format messages and RTCM V3 messages on the same port, leave the interface mode set to
NOVATEL and log out variants of the standard correction messages with a NovAtel header. ASCII or binary vari-
ants can be requested by appending an A or B to the standard message name. For example, on the base station:
interfacemode com2 novatel novatel
fix position 51.11358042 -114.04358013 1059.4105
log com2 rtcm1004b ontime 2
1. Interface mode must be set to NOVATEL for the receiver to issue logs with an A or B suffix.
2. Using the receiver in NOVATEL mode consumes more CPU bandwidth than using the native dif-
ferential messages as shown in
3. To find information on how to send multiple commands and log requests from a computer, search our
knowledge database available at
At the rover, leave the interface mode default settings (interfacemode com2 novatel novatel). The rover recog-
nizes the default and uses the corrections it receives with a NovAtel header.
The
PSRDIFFSOURCE
command and
RTKSOURCE
command set the station ID values that identify the base
stations from which to accept pseudorange or RTK corrections. They are useful commands when the rover sta-
tion is receiving corrections from multiple base stations.
3.4 ALIGN Heading Master and Remote Configurations
ALIGN technology combines two or more receivers to generate high precision heading and pitch angles between
two receivers for real-time navigation.
This section provides instructions for setting up a master station with an ALIGN capable rover receiver for applic-
ations that require heading output. Refer to
APN-048 ALIGN Overview and Setup
, available at
Dual antenna receivers, such as the , can provide an ALIGN solution without additional receivers
or configuration.
This section is for applications that require additional rover receivers.
