3.1.5 CAN Bus Communications
The OEM7 receiver supports J1939 and NMEA2000 CAN protocols.
The SMART7 has one CAN port. This CAN port supports data rates up to 1 Mbps.
Proper bus termination is required.
Refer to
on page 100 for detailed instructions.
3.2 Getting Started
The receiver’s software resides in flash memory. When first powered, it undergoes a complete self-test. If an
error condition is detected during the self-test, the status word changes. This self-test status word can be
viewed in the header of any data output log. Refer to Messages in the
Agriculture Commands and Logs Refer-
for header information. If a persistent error occurs, contact your local NovAtel dealer. If the dealer
cannot resolve the problem, contact NovAtel Customer Support directly using one of the methods listed in
3.2.1 Communicating with the Receiver
You can communicate with the receiver using NovAtel Web User Interface, NovAtel Connect or a terminal emu-
lation program.
Detailed instructions for using NovAtel Connect are available from the Help system built into NovAtel
Connect.
For instructions on using NovAtel Web User Interface, refer to the online OEM7 documentation (
).
When the receiver is first turned on, no data is transmitted from the COM ports except for the port prompt.
Any of the COM port prompts indicate that the receiver is ready and waiting for command input. The screen may
display other port names for other port types.
1. Output from receiver self-tests may take some time. On startup, the receiver is set to log the
RXSTATUSEVENTA log ONNEW on all ports. See
on page 106 for more
details.
2. If NovAtel Connect is unable to locate the receiver, use a different COM port to communicate with the
receiver. When communication has been established, issue a
FRESET STANDARD
command. The
original communications port should be ready for use. See the
FRESET
command for more information.
An example of a response to an input
LOG
command:
