Operation Chapter 3
DL-V3 User Manual Rev 3 47
Commands are typed at the interfacing computing device’s keypad or keyboard, and executed after
issuing a carriage return command which is usually the same as pressing the <Enter> key.
An example of a response to an input command is the FIX POSITION command. It can be as:
[COM2] fix position 51.11635 -114.0383 1048.2 [carriage return]
<OK
where
[COM2] is the port prompt, followed by the command you enter from your keypad or keyboard
and [carriage return] indicates that you should press the <Enter> key.
The above example illustrates command input to the base receiver’s COM2 port which sets the
position of the base station receiver for differential operation. Confirmation that the command was
actually accepted is the appearance of <OK.
If a command is entered incorrectly, the receiver responds with:
<I

3.3 Transmitting and Receiving Corrections
Corrections can be transmitted from a base station to a rover station to improve position accuracy. The
base station is the GNSS receiver which is acting as the stationary reference. It has a known position
and transmits correction messages to the rover station. The rover station is the GNSS receiver which
does not know its exact position and can be sent correction messages from a base station to calculate
differential GNSS positions. An example of a differential setup is given in Figure 17 on Page 48.
