Novatel connect

The Global Batch File option allows you to specify a file that contains a set of commands for common configurations. The contents of this file is sent to all connections when they are first established. The Global Batch File controls are in the title bar of the Connection Manager window. To select a Global Batch File: Click the Import button. The Select File dialog box opens. Locate and select the batch file and then click the Open button. The selected file name is displayed beside Global Batch File. To use the Global Batch File, the Run Global Batch File checkbox must be selected. If the Run Global Batch File checkbox is cleared, the selected batch file is not run when the connection is opened. To remove a batch file, click the red X next to the file name. An imported file is not preserved when NovAtel Connect is closed. Creating a batch file A batch file is a text file that contains a set of NovAtel receiver commands. When a connection to a receiver is made, NovAtel Connect will send all of the commands in the batch file to the receiver. The commands are sent sequentially in the order they appear in the batch file. To create a batch file: Create an empty file in any plain text editor. Enter the commands in the order in which NovAtel Connect should send the files to the receiver. For information about the NovAtel receivers commands, refer to the following.For OEM7 receivers, refer to the NovAtel OEM7 Documentation Portal (docs.novatel.com/OEM7). For OEM6 receivers, download the OEM6 Family Firmware Reference Manual (OM-20000129) from the NovAtel website at novatel.com/support/support-materials/manual. Save the file as a plain text file. Batch file examples Batch files can contain any valid NovAtel command. The batch files below are examples only. Example 1: Example 1 shows a batch file for configuring a receiver as an RTCMv3 rover: SERIALCONFIG com2 9600 n 8 1 n off INTERFACEMODE com2 rtcmv3 none off RTKSOURCE rtcmv3 any LOG com1 versiona once LOG com1 bestposb ontime 1 LOG com1 bestvelb ontime 1 LOG com1 rangeb ontime

This method is appropriate for customers that want to upgrade firmware without the complexity of self-implementing the SoftLoad process, but cannot use NovAtel Application Suite,Manage Web, WinLoad, NovAtel Connect or WebUI to load firmware. This method requires at a minimum: The desired firmware build as an .shex file The utility – srec2softload_dev_20160603.exe The receiver must be able to connect to a terminal like RealTerm For Linux users, this method may be preferred as NovAtel does not offer production versions of Linux NovAtel Connect and Linux WinLoad. Also, some NovAtel products may not have WebUI compatibility or WebUI connection may not be easily viable for some customers. For Linux users in these situations, only a terminal program such as RealTerm is needed for the firmware upgrade (along with preparing the .shex file). There is Linux NovAtel Application Suite available which can be used for firmware upgrading (without using SoftLoad). Process for using Customer Support utilities Using the srec2softload utility Contact Customer Support at novatel.com/support and ask about the srec2softload utility. At this step the Customer Support representative may assist in directly preparing the txt batch file for you. In this case, continue at Sending Firmware Data. In a new folder, load the srec2softload_dev_20160603.exe utility and the desired shex/hex firmware file Create a blank text file (can name it as desired, e.g. "softload_OM7MR0703RN0000.txt"). This text file will be the output from the utility where the batch script will be converted and placed. In that folder, open up a Powershell window and enter: For example: .\srec2softload_dev_20160603 .\OM7MR0703RN0000.shex .\softload_OM7MR0703RN0000.txt Press Enter and the output text file will be populated with the batch file. A confirmation message/response will appear. Sending Firmware Data It can take 30 minutes to 1 hour to complete sending the entire firmware to the receiver. RealTerm is preferred, but other terminal programs may be used (at user’s discretion). Download RealTerm from: sourceforge.net/projects/realterm/. Open RealTerm, go to the Port tab. Choose the COM port to be used (if using USB or Serial) along with the appropriate baud rate. If using Ethernet, type the IP address right where the Port dropdown menu is. Baud rate is not required to be specified if using Ethernet. If using ICOM (Ethernet), ensure the Winsock option is set to Raw, otherwise the binary part of firmware will be encoded and produce CRC errors. This is not necessary if connecting via serial or USB. If using ICOM (Ethernet),
