1. Look at the [satellite] [signal] [desc] field to get an idea on signal quality:
a. Good: Indicates that the signals being received from the GPS satellites are at an
appropriate level.
b. Fair: The signal level is either too high or too low. GPS is being received and
the system will function but the levels are not optimal. An in-line amplifier may
be required if the cable loss is too great.
c. Poor: Signal quality is very bad. System will perform very sporadically. An in-
line amplifier may be required if the cable loss is too great.
2. The [satellite] [number] field should be at least 4. If the value is 0 then no satellites
are being tracked. Wait ten minutes after the Oscillator Lock light is Green to give
the system a chance to acquire satellites. If the value is still 0 ten minutes after the
Oscillator Lock light turned green then there is likely a problem with the antenna
setup.
If you are using the manual position mode and the system is reporting satellites but
the GPS Tracking indicator is off the position entered is incorrect. Verify the
position was entered correctly. If this problem persists, switch the system to the auto
mode (position_mode auto) and allow the system to resurvey the antenna position.
3. The [gps] [satellite] [signal] [freq] field indicates whether single frequency or dual
frequency measurements are being received from the receiver.
frequency measurements are being received then check the antenna and make sure
that it is the Novatel (L1/L2) antenna included with the unit. If you are not using the
supplied antenna the system may be connected to a single frequency (L1) antenna.
F. Verify the system hardware is operating properly by ensuring the system is displaying the
proper serial number, the outputs are enabled, the power supply status is good and it
displays the correct model #. The power supply status should show both power supplies
