Foreword
Foreword
Congratulations!
Congratulations on your purchase of the DL-V3, a GNSS receiver with exceptional flexibility.
NovAtel is an industry leader in state-of-the-art GNSS receiver design. We believe that our DL-V3
will meet your high expectations, and are working hard to ensure that future products and
enhancements maintain that level of satisfaction.
This is your primary hardware and software reference.
Scope
This manual provides sufficient detail on the DL-V3 to allow you to effectively integrate and fully
operate it. The information in this manual supersedes DL-V3-related information in the DL-V3
Firmware Reference Manual, the OEMV Installation and Operation User Manual and its DL-V3
Addendum.
After the addition of accessories, an antenna and a power supply, the DL-V3 is ready to go.
The OEMV-3 in the DL-V3 utilizes a comprehensive user-interface command structure, which
requires communications through its communications (COM) ports. This manual describes the DL-
V3-specific commands and logs, see Commands starting on Page 81 and Logs starting on Page 147.
Other supplementary manuals, available on the accompanying CD and on our website at http://
www.novatel.com/support/docupdates.htm, aid you in using the other commands and logs available in
the OEMV family of receivers. This includes the OEMV-3 card within your DL-V3.
DL Explorer is also described, see Chapter 4 starting on Page 56. Integrated with the Control and
Display Unit (CDU) software, these programs provide graphical user interfaces to the DL-V3 for
logging, planning, transferring data files from the Compact Flash (CF) card to the PC/laptop,
upgrading, and converting data types.
Prerequisites
The installation chapters of this document provide information concerning the installation
requirements and considerations for DL-V3. To run the PC software supplied, your personal computer

been written with the expectation that you already have a basic familiarity with Windows.
