Fugro Seastar 3610 Quick Start Manual

Change Correction Source – Seastar 3610
INTRODUCTION
This document describes how to check and change the correction source (satellite beam) being tracked by a
Seastar 3610 demodulator.
BACKGROUND
The Seastar 3610 demodulator is designed to receive GNSS correction signals from geostationary satellites and
feed the correction data to external GNSS receiver(s), allowing it/them to achieve higher accuracy than the raw
position. The demodulator must be configured to track the correct satellite to get the best correction data.
This document is based on the latest internal system software (firmware) on the Seastar 3610. Make sure that
you have the latest version installed. You can acquire the latest firmware file and additional resources at
https://fsp.support/seastar. Note that the Seastar 3610 can track two different geostationary satellites at the
same time.
