Notices  
Notices  
The SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 are designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile  
applications. "Fixed" means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be  
easily moved to another location. "Mobile" means that the device is designed to be used in other than  
fixed locations. These products are not designed to be used as “Portable” devices in applications  
where they would be closer than 20 cm (8 inches) to the user or any other personnel.  
In the case of the SMART-MR15, it is important to follow any special regulations regarding the use of  
radio equipment due in particular to the possibility of radio frequency (RF) interference. Please follow  
the safety advice given below carefully.  
The following notices apply, as appropriate, to the SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15.  
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by NovAtel Inc.  
could result in violation of FCC, Industry Canada and CE Marking rules and void the  
user’s authorization to operate this equipment.  
Safety  
Personnel must be at least 20 cm (8 inches) from the SMART-MR15 cellular antenna.  
The SMART-MR15 cellular antenna must be mounted such that personnel are never  
closer than 20 cm (8 inches) to it. For antenna installations on non-metallic vehicle cab  
roofs, users should exercise extra care that the 20 cm separation distance between the  
antenna and personnel inside the vehicle will be maintained on the basis of an  
imaginary line passing through the roof between the antenna and the body of the  
operator or any passengers.  
Switch OFF your SMART-MR10/15 when around gasoline or diesel-fuel pumps and  
before filling your vehicle with fuel. Respect restrictions on the use of radio equipment  
in fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress.  
There may be a hazard associated with the operation of your SMART-MR10/15 close  
to inadequately protected personal medical devices such as hearing aids and  
pacemakers. Consult the manufacturers of the medical device to determine if it is  
adequately protected.  
Operation of your SMART-MR10/15 close to other electronic equipment may also  
cause interference if the equipment is inadequately protected. Observe any warning  
signs and manufacturers’ recommendations.

Notice  
To comply with FCC and Industry Canada regulations limiting both maximum RF  
output power and human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum system gain (antenna  
gain minus system loss) must not exceed 0.9 dBi in the U.S. Cellular band and 3.0 dBi  
in the PCS band for the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA variant, and 6.0 dBi in the Cellular band  
and 6.0 dBi in the PCS band for the CDMA variant. System loss is the total of external  
cable and connector losses and SMART-MR15 internal losses. For reference and  
system gain calculation purposes, the SMART-MR15 has internal losses of 0.6 dB for  
the 800 MHz Cellular band and 1.8 dB for the 1900 MHz PCS band.  
FCC  
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any  
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been tested and found to comply with the emission limits for  
a Class B digital device. The Class B limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 have been  
certified by FCC for use in the 2400 MHz - 2483.5 MHz band (FCC ID # UTU01018518).  
There are two versions of the SMART-MR15 - a CDMA version and a GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version.  
The CDMA version (NovAtel part number 01018606) contains FCC ID # RI7CC864-DUAL and the  
GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version (NovAtel part number 01018712) contains FCC ID # RI7UC864G.  
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used  
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.  
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined  
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or  
more of the following measures:  
Re-orient or relocate the SMART-MR10/15  
Increase the separation between the equipment and the SMART-MR10/15  
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the  
SMART-MR10/15 is connected  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help  
In order to maintain compliance as a Class “B” digital device, shielded cables must be  
used for the RS-232 serial data ports (Belden 1036A or equivalent) and twisted pair  
cable should be used for the CAN port (note: shielded twisted pair will also improve  
CAN performance in electrically harsh environments). I/O signals should be referred to  
one of the two signal grounds (connector pin 9 or connector pin 15) and not power  
ground (connector pin 2). If I/O signals route to different areas of the vehicle, dedicated  
signal grounds for I/O should be spliced into a common connection to one of the two  
signal grounds (pin 9 or pin 15), at a point close to the SMART-MR10/15.

Connecting the Power Supply  
The SMART-MR10/15 requires +9 to +36 VDC for the input power to the receiver. See Appendix A.2  
starting on page 75 for SMART-MR10 power supply specifications, and Appendix A.3 starting on  
page 79 for SMART-MR15 power supply specifications.  
Fuse/holder recommendations can be found in Table 14, Recommended Fuses on  
The SMART-MR10/15 cable provides power in (with a BATT+ label) and power ground (with a  
BATT- label) bare wires for connections from the SMART-MR10/15 to a vehicular power system  
protected by a user-supplied fuse. NovAtel recommends an automotive blade-type fuse, rated for 5A  
with an operating voltage of more than 36V. For cable details, refer to Appendix A.4.3, Custom  
The SMART-MR10/15 power source must be protected by a 5A fuse or damage to  
wiring may result (not covered by warranty). If the voltage supplied is above or  
below the specified range, the receiver will suspend operation. If the voltage  
supplied is above 48V, the receiver may be permanently damaged, voiding your  
warranty.  
Once you apply power, the SMART-MR10/15 status lights will light as described in Status Indicators

Debugging Guidelines:  
If the power is on but the yellow LED does not flash within one minute, no satellites are being  
tracked. There may be excessive blockage or the unit may be defective. Make sure the unit has an  
unobstructed view of the sky. Try power cycling the unit.  
If the yellow LED does not flash within one minute and power cycling the unit does not fix the  
problem, once you have a computer or terminal connected, request a VERSION log to ensure that  
the auth code is correct.  
Example of a receiver loaded with an incorrect auth code:  
<OK  
[COM1]<VERSION COM1 0 94.5 UNKNOWN 0 156.357 004c0001 3681 5010  
<3  
< GPSCARD "invalid authcode" "DHC09401037" "MCAGTP-1.00-22B" "3.710" "3.002" "2009/Nov/30" "11:08:19"  
< DB_USERAPPAUTO "SmartAg" "0" "" "1.100" "" "2009/Nov/27" "13:22:29"  
< USERINFO "LMX9830" "0212" "002166000001" "" "" "" ""  
[COM1]  
Applies to MR10/15 – If the yellow LED is flashing but does not progress to solid yellow within  
one minute, then insufficient satellites are being tracked or the signal quality is poor and  
ephemeris data can’t be received. Normally, four satellites are sufficient for a valid position as  
long as they are widely distributed in the sky. If it is stuck on blinking yellow, there may be  
excessive blockage or the unit may be defective. Make sure the unit has an unobstructed view of  
the sky. Try power cycling the unit.  
Applies to MR10 – If the yellow LED is on and the green LED does not turn on within five  
minutes, no SBAS or DGPS positions are available. If you are using SBAS, make sure SBAS is  
available in your area and that the unit is configured to enable SBAS positions (SBASCONTROL  
ENABLE). For DGPS, make sure the unit is configured with the correct serial port parameters  
and to accept the DGPS protocol your area uses and that your data modem is connected and  
working.  
Applies to MR15 – The green LED blinks when the MR15 authenticates with a cellular network.  
The LED stays off if a cellular network connection is impossible for any reason.  
Applies to MR15 – If the green LED doesn’t go solid after mounting an NTRIP Caster, verify the  
NTRIP Client configuration. The green LED only turns on if three conditions are met:  
1. The NTRIP Client enters the STREAMING state  
2. A valid position is available (the amber LED is on)  
3. An RTK solution is available  
For example, if the MR15 NTRIP Client is configured to receive RTCMV3 corrections but is  
receiving RTCA corrections, only conditions 1) and 2) apply, so the green LED will remain  
flashing.  
Applies to MR15 (HSPA only). If the red LED is flashing, the SIM card is not inserted or  
improperly inserted. Refer to Figure 11, Figure 12 and Figure 13 on page 44 for correct insertion.

2.4 Additional Installation Information  
This section provides additional installation and configuration information that relate to specific  
applications of the SMART-MR10/15.  
2.4.1  
MKI and PPS Strobes  
Input (MKI) and output (PPS) strobes provide status and synchronization signals. PPS is a 3.3V  
CMOS output; MKI is a 5V-tolerant input. PPS and MKI are referenced to SGND. Pin-out  
information can be found on Table 11, Evaluation Cable Pinouts on page 84.  
MKI can be used in conjunction with the MARKTIME and MARKPOS logs. For information about  
these logs, refer to OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual, available on the NovAtel website at  
2.4.2  
Emulated Radar (ER)  
The SMART-MR10/15 output an emulated radar signal via the bare wires labeled SGND and  
ER OUT on the SMART-MR10/15 cable. See Table 11, Evaluation Cable Pinouts on page 84 or Table  
12, Streamlined Cable Pinouts on page 86 for the pin-out details of your cable.  
The ER outputs:  
Logic high: Minimum of supply voltage minus 0.5V  
Logic low: Maximum of 0.5V  
Minimum load: 3k ohms  
Rise and fall time: Less than 1 ms.  
The ER output is referenced to signal GND and provides logic low output until its speed is greater  
than 1 km/hr. ER can be configured to operate at one of three distinct frequencies (26.11, 28.12 or  
36.11 Hz/km/hr, with 36.11 Hz/km/hr being the default value) and with an effective velocity range  
from 1 km/hr to 55 km/hr for near-horizontal applications. See Appendix B.12 RADARCFG Configure  
the ER output starting on page 104 for more information.

Controller Area Network (CAN)  
NMEA 2000 is a CAN standard created by the National Marine Electronics Association and designed  
to support networking in marine applications. It functions over a longer physical distance, and  
supports more physical nodes than ISO 11783. The relationship between NMEA 2000 and SAE J1939  
is that J1939 is the standard, while the NMEA 2000 group has added new messages (called PGNs or  
Parameter Group Numbers) and a new transport protocol called FastPacket. NMEA 2000 compliant,  
for all intents and purposes, means J1939 compliant plus support for new NMEA 2000 messages. In  
other word, one cannot have NMEA 2000 without J1939 support as well. J1939 is additionally  
“harmonized” with ISO 11783, a standard for the agriculture industry.  
The CAN module is activated when a SETCANNAME command is entered, and after a  
SAVECONFIG, the CAN module is activated immediately on all subsequent start-ups. The module  
supports the following NMEA 2000 Parameter Group Messages (PGN):  
PGN 129029 GNSSPositionData (1 Hz)  
PGN 129025 GNSSPositionRapidUpdate (10 Hz)  
PGN 129026 COGandSOGRapidUpdate (4 Hz)

SMART-MR15 CELLULAR ANTENNA INSTALLATION  
The SMART-MR15 has a cellular antenna port to facilitate the connection of an external cellular  
antenna. An external antenna must be connected to this port in order to use the integrated cellular  
modem.  
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and  
human exposure to RF radiation, the maximum system gain (antenna gain minus  
system loss) must not exceed 1.4 dBi in the U.S. Cellular band and 3.0 dBi in the  
PCS band for the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA variant, and 6.0 dBi in the Cellular band and  
6.0 dBi in the PCS band for the CDMA variant. System loss is the total of external  
cable and connector losses and SMART-MR15 internal losses. For reference and  
system gain calculation purposes, the SMART-MR15 has internal losses of 0.6 dB  
for the 800 MHz Cellular band and 1.8 dB for the 1900 MHz PCS band.

Installation  
Do not connect a CDMA antenna to a GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version of the  
SMART-MR15 as this creates a safety hazard.  
Do not shorten the cable lengths provided with any particular antenna type as  
this creates a safety hazard.  
Do not connect a GSM/GPRS/HSDPA antenna type to a CDMA version of the  
SMART-MR15 as cellular performance is degraded.  
1. Connect an appropriate antenna type to the SMART-MR15: Specific antenna types are available  
from NovAtel for the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA or CDMA versions of the SMART-MR15.  
2. Ensure the cellular antenna is installed at least 30 cm away from the SMART-MR15, as shown in  
Figure 10. GNSS positioning accuracy may be degraded if this is not observed, particularly for  
operation in the EU “1800 MHz” band.

4. Antennas must be installed on a “ground plane”. A vehicle with a metal roof is inherently a  
ground plane. For vehicles with a non-metallic roof a metal ground plane (available from NovA-  
tel) must be used.  
When installing the antenna on a metallic roof, it is recommended that the antenna be installed no  
closer than 10 cm, (4 inches) from the edge of the rooftop, to avoid adversely affecting the  
antenna performance due to distortion of the antenna pattern.  
The NovAtel ground plane accessory for use on non-metallic vehicle cab roofs is designed to  
provide a sufficient symmetrical ground plane around the antenna to guarantee optimal antenna  
performance.  
5. Secure the RF connector to the SMART-MR15 ensuring a “hand tight” connection.  
Do not use pliers or other tool types to over-tighten the RF connector as damage  
to the connector will occur.  
Ensure the RF connectors (male and female) are clean and dry before mating.  
Low pressure compressed air can be used to clean the connectors (that is,  
compressed air available in aerosol can format). Do not use a high pressure  
compressed air as moisture seals in the connector can be damaged. If the  
SMART-MR15 is moved between multiple vehicles each with its own cellular  
antenna, some means of sealing the unmated RF connectors should be used.  
Cellular radio frequencies are much higher than older forms of radio  
communications; the effects of moisture and/or dust will have a greater effect on  
performance.

Chapter 3  
Operation  
Before operating the SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 for the first time, ensure that you have  
followed the installation instructions in Chapter 2 Installation starting on page 26. The following  
instructions are based on a COM port configuration such as that shown in Figure 15 on page 49. It is  
assumed that a personal computer (PC), or laptop, is used during initial operation and testing for  
greater ease and versatility.  
3.1 Communications with the Receiver  
Communication with the receiver typically consists of issuing commands through the communication  
ports from an external serial communications device. This could be either a terminal or PC/laptop that  
is directly connected to the receiver serial port using a DB-9 connector on the SMART-MR10 or  
SMART-MR15 multi-cable. If you are using a radio, it connects to another DB-9 connector on the  
same multi-cable by means of the radio serial cable supplied with the radio. It is recommended that  
you become thoroughly familiar with the commands and logs detailed in the OEMV Family Firmware  
Reference Manual to ensure maximum utilization of the receiver’s capabilities.  
3.1.1  
Serial Port Default Settings  
The receiver communicates with your PC/laptop or terminal via an RS-232 serial port. For  
communication to occur, both the receiver and the operator interface have to be configured properly.  
The receiver’s COM1, COM2 and AUX default port settings are configured as follows:  
9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no handshaking, echo off  
Changing the default settings requires use of the COM command. See Appendix B.5, COM Configure  
SMART-MR15 COM2 is restricted to internal use by the cellular radio. Do not  
modify the settings for this port.  
COM1 can be configured as RS-422. It can also be configured with flow control.  
AUX is not available if COM1 flow control is enabled or if COM1 is configured as  
RS-422. The configuration using the Mode pin is summarized in Table 5, SMART-

Operation  
Chapter3  
The data transfer rate you choose determines how fast information is transmitted. Take for example a  
log whose message byte count is 96. The default port settings allows 10 bits/byte (8 data bits + 1 stop  
bit + 1 framing bit). It therefore takes 960 bits per message. To get 10 messages per second then  
requires 9600 bps. Also remember that even if you set the bps to 9600 the actual data transfer rate is  
lower and depends on the number of satellites being tracked, data filters in use, and idle time. It is  
suggested that you leave yourself a margin when choosing a data rate (115200 is recommended for  
most applications).  
Data rates below 9600 bps are not recommended.  
3.1.2  
Communicating Using a Remote Terminal  
One method of communicating with the receiver is through a remote terminal. The receiver has been  
pre-wired to allow proper RS-232 interface with your data terminal. To communicate with the  
terminal, the receiver only requires the RX, TX, and GND lines to be used. Request to Send (RTS)/  
Clear to Send (CTS) hardware handshaking is not available. Ensure the terminal’s communications  
set-up matches the receiver’s RS-232 protocol.  
3.1.3  
Communicating With a Computer  
A computer can be set up to emulate a remote terminal as well as provide the added flexibility of  
creating multiple-command batch files and data logging storage files. Any standard communications  
software package that emulates a terminal can be used to establish bidirectional communications with  
the receiver, for example, HyperTerminal or our own graphic user interface (GUI) program, Connect.  
All data is sent as raw 8-bit binary or ASCII characters.  
3.2 Getting Started  
Included with your receiver are NovAtel’s Connect and Convert4 programs. Connect is a Windows-  
based GUI which allows you to access the receiver's many features without the need for  
communications protocol or to write special software. To learn how to use Connect with a NovAtel  
receiver, press F1 or click the NovAtel button and select Help.  
The Convert4 utility is a Windows-based utility that allows you to convert receiver logs between  
ASCII and binary formats, and strips unwanted records for data file compilation. If you have not  
already installed these utilities, see Section 1.5, Installing the PC Utilities on page 25.

Chapter 3  
Operation  
3.2.1  
Starting the Receiver  
When first powered, the SMART-MR10/15 undergoes a complete self-test. If an error condition is  
detected during a self-test, the self-test status word changes. This self-test status word can be viewed  
in the header of any data output log. Refer to the chapter on Messages in the OEMV Family Firmware  
Reference Manual for header information. If a persistent error develops, please contact your local  
NovAtel dealer first. If the problem is still unresolved, please contact NovAtel directly through any of  
the methods listed in the Customer Support section at the beginning of this manual on page 19.  
3.3 Transmitting and Receiving Corrections  
RTK or DGPS corrections can be transmitted from a base station to a rover station to improve position  
accuracy. The base station is the GNSS receiver, which is acting as the stationary reference. It has a  
known position and transmits correction messages to the rover station. The rover station is a GNSS  
receiver which can be sent correction messages from a base station to calculate differential GNSS  
positions. The SMART-MR10/15 can be used as base receivers to transmit RTK or DGPS corrections,  
or as rovers to receive the same corrections. An example of a differential setup is given in Figure 15  
While the setup described in the following sections may work on a SMART-MR15,  
the SMART-MR15 is designed to receive corrections over a cellular modem on  
COM2 via NTRIP caster, in which case, the NTRIPCASTER and NTRIPCLIENT  
commands will take care of all interface mode configuration and corrections. Users  
should not change the COM2 interface settings manually or the receiver will no  
longer be able to communicate with the cellular modem.

System biases can introduce errors. Refer to the Support page on the NovAtel website at  
www.novatel.com for more information. In most cases you need to provide a data link between the  
base station and rover station (two NovAtel receivers) in order to receive corrections. The application  
of SBAS corrections to a single receiver are an exception to the base/rover concept. Generally, a link  
capable of data throughput at a rate of 9600 bits per second, and less than 4.0 s latency, is  
recommended.  
Once your base and rover are set up, you can configure them as outlined in the configuration examples

Configuration Notes  
For compatibility with other GNSS receivers, and to minimize message size, it is recommended that  
you use the standard form of RTCA, RTCM, RTCMV3 or CMR corrections as shown in the base and  
rover examples above. This requires using the INTERFACEMODE command to dedicate one  
direction of a serial port to only that message type. When the INTERFACEMODE command is used  
to change the mode from the default, NOVATEL, you can no longer use NovAtel format messages.  
If you want to mix NovAtel format messages and RTCA, RTCAOBS2, RTCM, RTCMV3, CMR+ or  
CMR messages on the same port, you can leave the INTERFACEMODE set to NOVATEL and log out  
variants of the standard correction messages with a NovAtel header. ASCII or binary variants can be  
requested by simply 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 rtcm1b ontime 2  
Using the receiver in this mode consumes more CPU bandwidth than using the  
native differential messages shown in Section 3.3.1, Base Station Configuration on  
At the rover station you can leave the INTERFACEMODE default settings (interfacemode com2  
novatel novatel). The rover receiver recognizes the default and uses the corrections it receives with a

Operation  
NovAtel header.  
Chapter3  
The PSRDIFFSOURCE and RTKSOURCE commands set the station ID values which identify the  
base stations from which to accept pseudorange or RTK corrections respectively. They are useful  
commands when the rover station is receiving corrections from multiple base stations.  
All PSRDIFFSOURCE entries fall back to SBAS (even NONE) for backwards  
compatibility.  
At the base station it is also possible to log out the contents of the standard corrections in a form that is  
easier to read or process. These larger variants have the correction fields broken out into standard  
types within the log, rather than compressed into bit fields. This can be useful if you wish to modify  
the format of the corrections for a non-standard application, or if you wish to look at the corrections  
for system debugging purposes. These variants have “DATA” as part of their names (for example,  
RTCADATA1, RTCMDATA1, CMRDATAOBS, and more). Refer also to the OEMV Family  
Firmware Reference Manual, which describes the various message formats in more detail.

Windows, can be found on our website at www.novatel.com through Support | Help

SBAS (Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems)  
A Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is a type of geostationary satellite system that  
improves the accuracy, integrity, and availability of the basic GNSS signals. Accuracy is enhanced  
through the use of wide area corrections for GNSS orbits and ionospheric errors. Integrity is enhanced  
by the SBAS network quickly detecting satellite signal errors and sending alerts to receivers to not use  
the failed satellite. Availability is improved by providing an additional ranging signal to each SBAS  
geostationary satellite.  
OEMV family receivers, including the SMART-MR10/15, are capable of SBAS positioning. This  
positioning mode is enabled using the SBASCONTROL command. The following command is used  
to automatically track and use the SBAS service available in the area of operation, for example,  
WAAS or EGNOS:  
sbascontrol enable auto  
For further information on SBASCONTROL, refer to the OEMV Family Installation and Operation  
User Manual, available from the NovAtel website at www.novatel.com/support/firmware-software-  
WAAS (Wide-Area Augmentation System)  
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has developed a Wide Area Augmentation System  
(WAAS) to provide accurate positioning to the aviation industry. As well as providing the industry  
with this high quality service, it is available to all other civilian users and markets in North America,  
free of charge. Future developments to this system will encompass the L5 signal.

EGNOS (European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service)  
Operation  
EGNOS has been developed to work with existing satellite navigation systems to improve the  
accuracy of navigation signals. The EGNOS signal is transmitted by two geostationary satellites and  
covers all of Europe. EGNOS transmits a signal containing information on the reliability and accuracy  
of the positioning signals sent out by GPS.  
At the time of this writing, the signal broadcast by the EGNOS satellites AOR-E (PRN120) and the  
ESA ARTEMIS satellite (PRN 124) is used for EGNOS Operations. The EGNOS satellite IOR-W  
(PRN 126) is currently used by Industry to perform various tests on the system.  
More information on EGNOS can be found at www.esa.int/egnos.  
3.4 GL1DE®  
SMART-MR10/15 contain NovAtel’s GL1DE, a positioning algorithm for single frequency GPS and  
GPS/GLONASS applications. GL1DE produces a smooth position output tuned for applications  
where optimal time relative (pass-to-pass) accuracy is more important than absolute accuracy, making  
it well suited for agricultural applications.  
Multipath signals tend to induce time-varying biases and increase the measurement noise on the L1  
pseudorange measurements. Carrier phase measurements are much less susceptible to the effects of  
multipath. The GL1DE algorithm combines the information from the L1 code and the L1 phase  
measurements into a Position-Time-Velocity (PVT) solution.  
GL1DE includes settings for a dynamic mode, a static mode, and an “auto” mode, where the filtering  
parameters are automatically adjusted as vehicle velocity varies between stationary and dynamic  
states.  
Refer to the NovAtel white papers on the NovAtel website at www.novatel.com/support/knowledge-  
and-learning/published-papers-and-documents/white-papers/ for more information on GL1DE. Refer

3.6 Emulated Radar (ER)  
A typical radar sensor emits radio beams that bounce off the ground, and computes ground speed  
based on the speed at which objects are passing in front of the sensor. The output of the sensor is a  
digital pulse, the frequency of which is proportional to the vehicle’s ground speed. This is often used  
in agricultural applications such as planting and spraying. The SMART-MR10/15 eliminate the need  
for separate ground-sensing radar equipment by converting the GPS-derived velocity to proportional  
frequency output. The following emulated radar signal parameters can be configured by the customer:  
Frequency Step: Specifies how the frequency output relates to the vehicle speed.  
Signal Update Rate: Specifies how often the frequency output is updated to match the vehicle  
speed.  
Response Mode:Specifieshowquicklychangesinvelocityarereflectedinthefrequencyoutput.  
Setting a slower response mode reduces spikes (noise) in the velocity but increases latency.  
Setting a higher response mode reduces latency, but may result in noisier frequency output. Refer  
information.  
Once it is configured using the RADARCFG command (see page 104), Emulated Radar (ER) pulses  
are output through the SMART-MR10/15 cables (see Table 11 on page 84) and the RADARSIGNAL  
3.7 NTRIP Client  
In this configuration, shown in Figure 16, a vehicle-mounted SMART-MR15 acts as a rover using

Convert4 is a 32-bit Windows application. It is shown in Figure 17. Convert4 will accept GPS file  
formats and convert them to ASCII, Binary or RINEX format. The application also allows the user to  
screen out particular logs by selecting the desired logs from the list of available logs. This feature is  
useful for screening particular logs out of large data files in either ASCII or Binary formats.

The Receiver-Independent Exchange (RINEX ) format is a broadly-accepted, receiver-independent  
format for storing GPS data. It features a non-proprietary ASCII file format that can be used to  
combine or process data generated by receivers made by different manufacturers.  
The Convert4 utility can be used to produce RINEX files from NovAtel receiver data files.  
Although RINEX is intended to be a receiver-independent format, there are many  
optional records and fields. Keep this in mind when combining NovAtel and non-  
NovAtel RINEX data.

When converting to RINEX, two files are produced - a RINEX observation file and a RINEX  
navigation file. A third GLONASS file is produced if the data contains GLONASS observations. The  
default names of these files conform to the RINEX Version 2.10 recommended naming convention of  
ssssdddf.yyt, where:  
ssss  
4 character station name - Convert4 uses the first four characters of the <infile>  
parameter as the station ID  
ddd  
day of year  
f

file sequence number within the day - Convert4 sets this to zero  
file type: o for the observation and n for the navigation file  
Selecting the RINEX field, see Figure 17, Convert4 Screen Examples on page 59, in the Convert4 To  
section causes the:  
1. Destination File: field to be replaced by the Observation File: and Ephemeris File: fields. Note  
that Observation File refers to the RINEX OBS file while Ephemeris File refers to the RINEX  
NAV file.  
2. RINEX Headers buttons to appear allowing you to supply additional information that appears in  
the header records of the RINEX output files (for example, Company Name, Marker Name and

4.4 Firmware Updates and Model Upgrades  
Firmware updates are firmware releases that include fixes and enhancements to the receiver  
functionality. Firmware updates are released occasionally on the NovAtel website as they become  
available. New firmware must be loaded into the receiver through one of the COM ports. After this is  
done, the receiver will reboot and start operating with the new firmware.  
Model upgrades enable purchased receiver features. The receiver stores its firmware in non-volatile  
memory, which allows you to perform model upgrades without having to return the receiver to the  
dealer.  
The first step in upgrading the model of your receiver is to contact your local NovAtel dealer. Your  
dealer will assist you in selecting the upgrade option that best suits your GNSS needs. If your needs  
cannot be resolved with your dealer then contact NovAtel Customer Support directly as outlined on  
page 19.  
When you call, be sure to have your receiver model number, serial number, and firmware version.  
This information can be determined by entering the LOG VERSION command.  
Customers must purchase the model through their sales channel. Once the order is approved,  
Customer Support will generate and provide you with the auth-code. The auth-code is required to  
unlock the features on your new model type.  
To upgrade to a new model with the same firmware version, you can use the AUTH command with  
the issued auth-code, as outlined in 4.4.1, Updating or Upgrading Using the WinLoad Utility .  
To upgrade to a new model with a higher firmware version, you will need to load the new firmware  
into the SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 using the WinLoad utility program. As WinLoad and the  
update file are generally provided in a compressed file format, you may also be given a  
decompression password. WinLoad and the update files can be found on NovAtel's website at  
Your local NovAtel dealer can provide you with all the information that you require to upgrade or  
update your receiver.  
4.4.1  
Updating or Upgrading Using the WinLoad Utility  
WinLoad is required when updating previously released firmware with a newer version of firmware.  
You can also upgrade to a new model in the same WinLoad session, as long as you have the required  
auth-code.  
WinLoad is a Windows utility program designed to facilitate firmware updates 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 firmware to be transferred to the OEMV family receiver via  
one of its COM ports. The port chosen must have an RS-232 interface to the PC.

Transferring Firmware Files  
Chapter4  
To proceed with the update, you must first acquire the latest version of firmware from the NovAtel  
Support website. The firmware update file will be one of two types:  
Update (UPDT) version - The update version includes the authorization codes for  
all OEMV receivers and receiver model upgrades purchased before the cut-off date.  
The update version will be named UPDTXXXX.EXE, where XXXX is the  
firmware version, for example, updt3701.exe. If you purchased your receiver or  
model upgrade after the cut-off date, the authorization code will not appear in the  
UPDT file, and you will have to use the OEM version instead.  
upgrade after the cut-off date. When you use the OEM version, NovAtel Customer  
Authorization codes are also available from the NovAtel website at  
www.novatel.com through Support | Access Online Services.  
The OEM version will be named OEMXXXX.EXE, where XXXX is the firmware  
version, for example, oem3701.exe.  
These update files are available from NovAtel's website at www.novatel.com/support/firmware-  
transfer is not possible, the file can be mailed to you on a CD. For more information on how to contact  
NovAtel Customer Support see page 19 at the beginning of this manual.  
For convenience, you may wish to copy the update file to a GNSS sub-directory (for example,  
C:\GNSS\LOADER).  
If the firmware update file is password protected, Customer Support will provide you with the  
required password. After copying the file to your computer, its contents must be extracted, 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 extraction.  
Example:  
oem3701 12345678  
A Windows-based dialog box prompts you to enter the password.  
The self-extracting archive will then extract the following files:  
winload.exe  
howto.txt

Upgrading Using the AUTH Command  
The AUTH command authorizes the enabling (unlocking) of model features. Use this command when  
upgrading to a new OEMV family model that is available with the same firmware version as your  
current model. This command only functions in conjunction with a valid auth-code assigned by  
Customer Support.  
The upgrade can be performed directly through the Connect command line, or from any other  
communications program. The procedure is as follows:  
1) Power-up the OEMV family receiver and establish communications over a serial port (see  
2) Issue the LOG VERSION command to verify the current model, firmware version, and serial  
number.  
3) Issue the AUTH command, followed by the auth-code and model type. The syntax is as follows:  
Syntax:

Figure 27: Bluetooth Configuration (SMART-MR15)  
Bluetooth wireless technology is configured on the SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 COM3 port  
and, by default, is enabled.  
If the SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 is turned off (or power is removed) then  
turned back on, the Bluetooth mode is returned to the state it was in before power-  
down, as long as the SAVECONFIG command was issued before the unit was  
powered off. When you issue a FRESET command, COM3 defaults to Bluetooth  
mode.  
If Bluetooth wireless technology has been disabled, you will need to enable it before you can use it.  
From a computer/laptop, connect to a SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 serial port. Open  
communication with the receiver using HyperTerminal or Connect. See Appendix B.2, BTCONTROL  
computer/laptop is configured for Bluetooth operation, you will be able to communicate with the  
SMART-MR10 or SMART-MR15 through Bluetooth wireless technology.

A.4 Connector Cables  
A.4.1 Evaluation Cable (Part Number 01018515)  
The SMART-MR10/15 evaluation cable provided with Development Kit, is illustrated in Figure 36  
and equipped as follows:  
Exposed power wires (red for positive and black for negative) are connected to a 12 or 24V  
vehicular power circuit (or equivalent), which must be protected by a user-supplied 5A fuse  
(NovAtel recommends an automotive blade-type fuse rated for 5A with an operating voltage of  
more than 36 V).  
Three DB-9 connectors. One of these is normally connected to a PC/laptop serial (RS-232)  
communication port and another to a modem or radio transmitter, to propagate differential  
corrections (refer to your user-supplied modem or radio transmitter user guide for more  
information).  
Four pairs of bare wires, where the outer insulation is cut away but the wires beneath are intact.  
These are provided for emulated radar, MKI, PPS, and CAN bus. See Table 11 on page 84 for  
their pinouts and use. For more information on mating connectors and part numbers, see Table 13  
Some COM port pin-out differences exist between the SMART-MR10 and the SMART-MR15.  
Note cable labels.  
This cable is RoHS compliant.

A.4.2 Streamlined Cable (Part Number 01018526)  
The SMART-MR10/15 streamlined cable, chemical resistant, designed for reduced size and weight,  
and increased flexibility, provides:  
Connection to a battery while operating in the field. The exposed wires (red for positive and black  
for negative) can be connected to a 12 or 24V vehicular power circuit (or equivalent), which must  
be protected by a user-supplied 5A fuse (NovAtel recommends an automotive blade-type fuse  
rated for 5A with an operating voltage of more than 36 V).  
Two DB-9 connectors. One of these is normally connected to a PC/laptop serial (RS-232)  
communication port and the other to a modem or radio transmitter to propagate differential  
corrections (refer to your user-supplied modem or radio transmitter user guide for more  
information on its connectors).  
One pair of bare wires, where the outer insulation is cut away but the wires beneath are intact, are  
provided for emulated radar. See Table 12 on page 86 for their pinouts. For more information on  
mating connectors and part numbers, see Table 13 on page 87.

Batt + connection must be protected by a user-supplied fuse. NovAtel recommends an automotive  
blade-type fuse, rated for 5A with an operating voltage of more than 36V.  
Serial data signals (TxD, RxD, signal ground) must be run in shielded cable.  
Connect shields to ground at the SMART-MR end only  
CAN signal conductors must be twisted (40 twists/m, 12 twists/ft)  
Use only the recommended mating connectors listed below. Use only gold plated pins  
Failure to observe the given cable construction requirements in this section  
will result in damage to the wiring (not covered by warranty).  
The connector used in the SMART-MR10/15 is an “AMPSEAL” dust and water sealed type produced  
by Tyco. The following part numbers pertain to the mating connector required to make connections to  
the SMART-MR10/15. These numbers are provided for information only and are not available from

B.4 CELLSET Set the APN name  
This command allows the user to set the APN name (SMART-MR15 GSM/GPRS/HSDPA only). The  
APN (Access Point Name) identifies the IP packet data network (PDN) with which the mobile data  
user wants to communicate. Once a context and IP address are acquired, changing the APN through  
the CELLSET command won't force that context to be dropped. The modem needs to be reset through  
a receiver RESET command for the new APN to take effect.

B.5 COM Configure COM Port  
This command permits you to configure the receiver’s asynchronous serial port communications  
drivers.  
The current COM port configuration can be reset to its default state at any time by sending it two  
hardware break signals of 250 milliseconds each, spaced by fifteen hundred milliseconds  
(1.5 seconds) with a pause of at least 250 milliseconds following the second break. This will:  
Stop the logging of data on the current port (see UNLOGALL command in the  
OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).  
Clear the transmit and receive buffers on the current port.  
Return the current port to its default settings (see Factory Defaults section in  
Chapter 2 Commands of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).  
Set the interface mode to NovAtel for both input and output (see  
INTERFACEMODE command in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual).  
Baud rates higher than 115,200 bps are not supported by standard PC hardware. Special  
PC hardware may be required for higher rates, including 230400 bps, 460800 bps and  
921600 bps. Also, some PC's have trouble with baud rates beyond 57600 bps.  
Abbreviated ASCII Syntax:  
Message ID: 4  
COM [port] bps [parity[databits[stopbits[handshake[echo[break]]]]]]  
Factory Default:  
com com1 9600 n 8 1 n off on  
com com2 9600 n 8 1 n off on  
com aux 9600 n 8 1 n off on  
Do not alter the COM3 port configuration, since COM3 is reserved for Bluetooth  
wireless technology.  
On the SMART-MR15, do not alter the COM2 port configuration, since COM2 is  
reserved for the cellular modem.  
ASCII Example:  
com com1,57600,n,8,1,n,off,on  
Watch for situations where the COM ports of two receivers are connected together and  
the baud rates do not match. Data transmitted through a port operating at a slower baud  
rate may be misinterpreted as break signals by the receiving port if it is operating at a  
higher baud rate. This is because data transmitted at the lower baud rate is stretched  
relative to the higher baud rate. In this case, configure the receiving port to have break  
detection disabled using the COM command.

93  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
           
Use the COM command before using the INTERFACEMODE command on each  
port. Turn break detection off using the COM command to stop the port from  
resetting because it is interpreting incoming bits as a break command.  
Altering the serial communication settings of the COM2 and COM3 ports may  
adversely affect Bluetooth wireless technology and/or cellular radio link  
functionality.

B.6 FRESET Clear Selected Data from NVM and Reset  
This command is extended to include SMART-MR10/15 features. An additional target field, userdata  
(value = 10), resets only the SMART-MR10 (or SMART-MR15) user data NVM, thereby resetting all  
parameters indicated in this document as “Stored in NVM” to factory defaults. Issuing the FRESET  
command with the “target” field set to standard, resets the userdata NVM as well as OEMV  
parameters as indicated in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual.  
If you issue the FRESET command without any parameters, it is the same as issuing  
a FRESET STANDARD command.

B.7 LOG Request Logs from the Receiver  
Many different types of data can be logged using several different methods of triggering the log  
events. Every log element can be directed to any combination of available ports. Refer to Appendix  
page 79 for information about ports available on the SMART-MR10/15 respectively. The ONTIME  
trigger option requires the addition of the period parameter. See the OEMV Family Firmware  
Reference Manual for further information and a complete list of data log structures. The LOG  
command tables in this section show the ASCII command format.  
The optional parameter [hold] prevents a log from being removed when the UNLOGALL command,  
with its defaults, is issued. To remove a log which was invoked using the [hold] parameter requires the  
specific use of the UNLOG command. To remove all logs that have the [hold] parameter, use the  
UNLOGALL command with the held field set to 1.  
The [port] parameter is optional. If [port] is not specified, [port] is defaulted to the port that the com-  
mand was received on.  
1. The OEMV family of receivers can handle 30 logs at a time. If you attempt to  
log more than 30 logs at a time, the receiver responds with an Insufficient  
Resources error. Each COM port already has RXSTATUSEVENT log associated  
with it. This means that with 3 serial ports, 7 logs are already accounted for, as  
shown below:  
RXSTATUSEVENT on COM1, COM2, and COM3  
TRACKSTAT, BESTVEL, and PSRXYZ on XCOM1  
See the example on the next page.  
2. Maximum flexibility for logging data is provided to the user by these logs. The  
user is cautioned, however, to recognize that each log requested requires addi-  
tional CPU time and memory buffer space. Too many logs may result in lost  
data and degraded CPU performance. Receiver overload can be monitored using  
the idle-time field and buffer overload bits of the Receiver Status in any log  
header.  
3. Polled log types do not allow fractional offsets or ONTIME rates faster than  
1Hz.  
4. Use the ONNEW trigger with the MARKTIME, MARK2TIME, MARKPOS or  
MARK2POS logs.  
5. Only the MARKPOS, MARK2POS, MARKTIME or MARK2TIME logs, and  
‘polled’ log types are generated ‘on the fly’ at the exact time of the mark. Syn-  
chronous and asynchronous logs output the most recently available data.  
6. If you do use the ONTIME trigger with asynchronous logs, the time stamp in  
the log does not necessarily represent the time the data was generated, but rather  
the time when the log is being transmitted.

log usb3 rxstatuseventa onnew 0 0 hold  
Abbreviated ASCII Example 1:  
log com1 bestpos ontime 7 0.5 hold  
The above example shows BESTPOS logging to COM port 1 at 7 second intervals and offset by 0.5  
seconds (output at 0.5, 7.5, 14.5 seconds and so on). The [hold] parameter is set so that logging is not  
disrupted by the UNLOGALL command.  
To send a log only one time, the trigger option can be ignored.  
Abbreviated ASCII Example 2:  
log com1 bestpos once 0.000000 0.000000 nohold  
Refer to the Command Formats section of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual for  
additional examples.  
1. In Connect there are two ways to initiate data logging to the receiver's serial  
ports. You can either enter the LOG command in the Console window, or use  
the interface provided in the Logging Control window. Ensure the Power  
Settings on your PC are not set to go into Hibernate or Standby modes. Data is  
lost if one of these modes occurs during a logging session.  
2. Only the ASCII/Abbreviated ASCII log table is included in this manual. Please  
refer to the LOG command in the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual  
for binary log details.

B.10 PDPFILTER Enable, disable or reset the PDP filter  
This command enables, disables or resets the Pseudorange/Delta-Phase (PDP) filter. The main  
advantages of the Pseudorange/Delta-Phase (PDP) implementation are:  
Smooths a jumpy position  
Bridges outages in satellite coverage (the solution is degraded from normal but  
there is at least a reasonable solution without gaps)  
Enable the PDP filter to output the PDP solution in BESTPOS, BESTVEL and  
NMEA logs.  
Refer to the Operation chapter of the OEMV Installation and Operation Manual  
for a section on configuring your receiver for PDP or GL1DE operation.  
GL1DE Position Filter  
1
GL1DE is a mode of the PDP filter which optimizes the position for consistency over time rather  
than absolute accuracy. GL1DE uses the GPS L1 and does not use GLONASS.This is ideally in clear  
sky conditions where the user needs a tight, smooth, and consistent output. The GL1DE filter  
functions autonomously, and with CDGPS or WAAS. The PDP filter is smoother than a least squares  
fit but is still noisy in places. The GL1DE filter produces a very smooth solution with consistent rather  
than absolute position accuracy. There should be less than 1 cm difference typically from epoch to  
epoch. GL1DE also works in single point, DGPS and OmniSTAR VBS modes. See also the  
PDPMODE command on page 103.

B.13 RESET Performs a hardware reset  
This command performs a hardware reset. Following a RESET command, the receiver initiates a cold-  
start boot up. Therefore, the receiver configuration reverts either to the factory default, if no user  
configuration was saved, or the last SAVECONFIG settings.  
The optional delay field is used to set the number of seconds the receiver is to wait before resetting.

B.14 SBASCONTROL Set SBAS test mode and PRN  
This command allows you to dictate how the receiver handles Satellite Based Augmentation System  
(SBAS) corrections.  
To enable the SBAS position solution corrections, you must issue the SBASCONTROL ENABLE  
command. The GNSS receiver does not attempt to track any SBAS satellites until you use the  
SBASCONTROL command to tell it to use either WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS corrections.  
When the system parameter is set to AUTO mode, if the receiver is outside the defined satellite  
system’s corrections grid, it reverts to ANY mode and chooses a system based on other criteria.  
Once tracking satellites from one system in ANY or AUTO mode, it does not track satellites from  
other systems. This is because systems such as WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS do not share broadcast  
information and send corrections relevant to their specific geographic region.  
The “testmode” parameter in the example is to allow SBAS operation while SBAS systems are in test  
mode. At the time of printing, the testmode parameter of NONE is recommended for all SBAS  
systems.  
When you use the SBASCONTROL command to direct the GNSS receiver to use a specific SBAS  
system, the GNSS receiver begins to search for and track the relevant SBAS PRNs for that correction  
type only.  
You can force the GNSS receiver to track a specific PRN using the ASSIGN command. You can force  
the GNSS receiver to use the corrections from a specific SBAS PRN using the SBASCONTROL  
command.  
Disable stops the corrections from being used.

Appendix C Logs  
The SMART-MR10/15 firmware generate NMEA logs, position logs as well as the logs in Table 21, in  
addition to those of the OEMV Family log set. Refer to the OEMV Family Firmware Reference  
Manual, which also contains procedures and explanations related to data logging and is available from  
our website at:  
SMART-MR10 and SMART-MR15 are capable of logging at 1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz,  
and 20 Hz. NovAtel recommends logging at the lowest data rate suitable for your  
application. Should your application require 20 Hz data rates, please contact  
NovAtel customer support for guidance.

C.1 NMEA Logs  
The NMEA logs (receiver outputs) supported by the SMART-MR10/15 are summarized in Chapter 3  
of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual in section "NMEA Standard Logs". The available  
logs include:  
GPGGA, which outputs a log of position system fix data and undulation. There are variants of  
GPGGA, specifically:  
-
GPGGARTK, which has greater precision than GPGGA but with the loss of the  
undulation field  
-
GPGGALONG, which has both greater precision and the undulation field  
110  
SMART-MR10/15 User Manual Rev 5  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
             
GPVTG, which outputs track made good and ground speed  
Each of the available NMEA standard logs is described in more detail in its own section of Chapter 3  
of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual.  
The steps for configuring the receiver output, through the command line are:  
1. Configure the communication port using the COM command, described in Appendix B.5, COM  
Configure COM Port on page 93. Configure the AUX port as follows:  
Bit Rate  
Parity  
9600  
none  
8
Data Bits  
Stop Bits  
Handshaking  
Echo  
1
None  
Off  
Break  
On  
enter the following string:  
com aux 9600 n 8 1 n off on  
2. Select and configure the NMEA string that you want to output. The information is described in  
Chapter 3 Data Logs of the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual, in the section for the  
particular log. For example, to log gpgga (position system fix data and undulation) at 2 Hz, enter  
the following string:  
log gpgga ontime 0.5  
You can configure the log to output at various frequencies, as described in Appendix B.7, LOG  
The above command line operations can also be carried out through the Connect. Information about  
configuring the communication port can be found in the Connect online help in Contents > Getting  
Started > Connecting to the receiver. Information about logging data can be found in Getting Started >  
Logging Data. The procedure for adding a NMEA log through the Connect is summarized as follows:  
1. In the Logging control window, click Logging to one or more of the receiver's serial ports. The  
Add Log window displays.  
2. Beside Select list, select Complete List or NMEA List.  
3. Beside Log to file, select the NMEA log you want to add.  
4. Select the port.  
5. Configure the remaining fields then click Add.

C.6 NTRIPSOURCETABLE Source Table Records from Current  
Caster  
This log provides information about the NTRIP sources available from the caster. Each record from  
the caster's sourcetable appears in a separate NTRIPSOURCETABLE log. The log containing the last  
record of the sourcetable will contain "ENDSOURCETABLE".  
This log is only supported by the GSM/GPRS/HSDPA version of the  
SMART-MR15.  
Issuing the NTRIPCASTER command while this log is requested causes the NTRIP  
client to establish a connection to the caster and request the source table.  
Issuing the NTRIPCLIENT MOUNT command while the source table is being  
downloaded interrupts the output of the NTRIPSOURCETABLE log while NTRIP  
corrections are being streamed to the receiver. After a subsequent NTRIPCLIENT  
UNMOUNT command, the output of the NTRIPSOURCETABLE logs resumes.

PENDING  
When a FIX POSITION command is entered, the  
receiver computes its own position and determines if the  
a
fixed position is valid  
INVALID_FIX  
The fixed position, entered using the FIX POSITION  
command, is not valid  
19  
20  
UNAUTHORIZED  
Position type is unauthorized - HP or XP on a receiver  
not authorized for it  
a. PENDING implies there are not enough satellites being tracked to verify if the FIX POSITION  
entered into the receiver is valid. The receiver needs to be tracking two or more GPS satellites  
to perform this check. Under normal conditions you should only see PENDING for a few  
seconds on power up before the GNSS receiver has locked onto its first few satellites. If your  
antenna is obstructed (or not plugged in) and you have entered a FIX POSITION command,  
then you may see PENDING indefinitely.

Receiver RT2 L1TE: The L1 GG RTK feature is a fixed integer GPS+GLONASS L1-  
only RTK solution that works with RTCAOBS and RTCAOBS2 correction types.  
Centimetre-level (RT2 L1TE) accuracy is possible with fix times in the order of 60 s,  
depending on visibility, number of satellites, and so on. Since it is an L1-only  
solution, the operational baseline is limited to 3 km to minimize ionospheric errors.  
Outside of the baseline threshold (3 km), the receiver outputs RT20 instead.
