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. However, it is beyond the scope of this manual to provide details on service or
repair. Contact NovAtel for any customer-service related inquiries. See Customer Service on Page 9.
