Message Types

The receiver handles incoming and outgoing NovAtel data in three different message formats:
- Abbreviated ASCII
- ASCII
- Binary
This allows for a great deal of versatility in the way the OEM6 family of receivers can be used. All
NovAtel commands and logs can be entered, transmitted, output or received in any of the three
formats. The receiver also supports RTCA, RTCMV3, RTCM, CMR, CMRPLUS and NMEA format
messaging. For more information about message logs, refer to the contents of Chapters 2 and 3 in the
OEM6 Family Firmware Reference manual.
When entering an ASCII or abbreviated ASCII command to request an output log, the message type is
indicated by the character appended to the end of the message name. 'A' indicates the message
requested is ASCII and 'B' indicates binary. No character means the message requested is
Abbreviated ASCII. When issuing binary commands, the output message type is dependent on the bit
format in the message's binary header (refer to Binary on page 34).
