DEVICE CONFIGURATION INSTRUCTIONS
WINFROG I/O DEVICES > EDIT I/O:
The NovAtel CON (console) device is added to WinFrog from the GPS device group.
The Novatel PC Card dialog box (shown below) appears when the NovAtel CON
(console) device is selected. Within this dialog are various configuration options. The
settings are dependant on the GPSCard that has been installed in the PC.
Name: Enter the name of this GPSCard, or leave the default.
Re-Boot: Enable this option to re-start the GPSCard if it has been shutdown. The re-
boot will take place once you click OK to close this dialog box.
GPS Set: This section allows you to select which GPSCard to use. As detailed below,
you can add up to 3 GPSCards to a single PC. Each card is identified uniquely as
GPS1, GPS2 or GPS3. Select the appropriate radio button (usually GPS1).
Pseudorange Format: Most cards use the default RGEB (new) format.
Program: This window must display the correct .btl file name, as defined by the
GPSCard serial number. Note that all of the .btl files that were updated for the year
2000 week rollover should have the prefix Y2K.
Directory: Type in the appropriate folder name/location, or select the Browse button to
navigate to the appropriate directory where the .btl file is found. When you click Ok to
close this window, the GPS card is "booted" (i.e. started). A message will appear if there
is a problem with booting the card. A common error is experienced when WinFrog tries
to boot the GPSCard while it is already running. The card can be started when the
drivers are installed, and shutting down the card is often overlooked. To manually shut
down the card, go to Window's Start > Settings > Control Panel > Devices. Highlight the
GPSCard device and select Stop.
