Foreword Scope The WAAS G-III Reference Receiver User Manual is written for users of the G-III Reference Receiver subsystem. The manual contains sufficient installation and operation information to allow you to effectively integrate and fully operate the unit. Additionally, each command used to configure the G-III Reference Receiver, as well as each log used to capture data, is described in detail, including the purpose, syntax, and structure of these messages.
1023 ended on Saturday August 21, 1999 at 23:59:59. In accordance with the GPS system specifications document, NovAtel G-III Reference Receiver firmware resets the receiver's GPS week number back to zero. Users should be aware of this issue and keep in mind that there may be a compatibility issue when purchasing and using different makes of GNSS receivers.
Chapter 1 Introduction The NovAtel G-III Reference Receiver is a high-performance receiver designed for installation as a core component of Satellite-Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS). This chapter provides information on the features and functionality of the G-III Reference Receiver and how it operates in the context of the SBAS system.
Integrity data, differential corrections, time control and status The NovAtel G-III Reference Receiver provides GPS monitoring functionality as part of the Reference Stations in the SBAS network. Features To assist the Reference Stations in providing data with the necessary precision, the G-III Reference Receiver has the following features: •...
