    NovAtel Connect is a computer program used to configure and monitor NovAtel receivers. The Logging Control Window in NovAtel Connect provides an interface to configure logging and to collect logs from the receiver. The collected logs can be output to one of the receiver communication ports or stored on the computer running NovAtel Connect.

    Chapter 4   Built-In Status Tests If the receiver status word indicates a problem, see Examining the RXSTATUS Log on page 108. 4.4.2 Error Word The error field contains a 32-bit word. Each bit in the word is used to indicate an error condition. Error conditions may result in damage to the hardware or erroneous data, so the receiver is put into an error state.

    Chapter 4   Built-In Status Tests mask words are used to modify the behavior caused by a change in one of the bits in the associated status words. Each bit, in any mask, operates on the bit in the same position in the status word. For example, setting bit 3 in the priority mask changes the priority of bit 3 in the status word.

All NMEA2000 logs are configured using the LOG command, where the COM port is a CAN port (CCOM). The CCOM port must be associated with a J1939 node using the CCOMCONFIG command.
  • Page 104: Corrections Over Can

    A single CCOM port cannot be used for both Binary messages and corrections. If the CCOM port is configured as NOVATEL, all input is interpreted as NovAtel ASCII or Abbreviated ASCII. Unlike other COM ports, the receiver will not distinguish between ASCII and binary input.
  • Page 105: Configuring Oem7 Receivers To Use Oem6 Can Settings

    It is recommended to use one dedicated CCOM port for NovAtel messages and another dedicated CCOM port for corrections. NovAtel UI configuration does not affect NMEA2000. Any CCOM port can be used for NMEA2000 logs irrespective of CCOMCONFIG settings. To configure NovAtel User Interface over CAN: 1.

This design has been used to protect EVENT_IN signals from EN61000-4-5 induced surges up to 2kV on several NovAtel enclosure products. If nanosecond-level timing is critical to the application, this protection circuit may be unsuit- able, as it causes a timing shift of a few microseconds to the EVENT signal (heavily dependent on temperature).
