$PMDT,l*4D

For more information, refer to the $PMDT command.

Saving the Terrain Compensation Configuration

After the height has been set or the Terrain Compensation sensor has leveled, the Terrain Compensation con-

figuration must be saved. This is done so the height data and level setting are saved between power cycles. To

save Terrain Compensation configuration, enter the following command:

$PMDT,x*59

For more information, refer to the $PMDT command.

3.7 SMART Antenna Emulated Radar

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 fre-

quency of which is proportional to the vehicle's ground speed. This is often used in agricultural applications such

as planting and spraying. The SMART Antenna eliminates the need for separate ground-sensing radar equipment

by converting the GPS-derived velocity to a 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: Specifies how quickly changes in velocity are reflected in the frequency output. 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 to RADARCONFIG command for detailed information.

After it is configured using the RADARCONFIG command, Emulated Radar (ER) pulses are output through the

SMART Antenna interface cable and the RADARSTATUS log.

3.8 Logging Using NovAtel Application Suite or Setup & Monitor (Web)

The NovAtel user interface tools, NovAtel Application Suite and Setup & Monitor (Web), provide a graphic user

interface to configure the logs output from an OEM7 receiver.
