Chapter 3 Operation
1. Select the Group
The the DL-V3 captures sets of logs using log groups. You create a group in CDU’s DL Explorer and
then upload the group to the DL-V3.
CDU is available from our website at: http:// www.novatel.com/support/fwswupdates.htm
.
Launch CDU from the Start menu folder specified during the installation process. The default location
is Start | Programs | NovAtel OEMV | CDU. Launch CDU and open, or create, a DL-V3
configuration, refer to your DL-V3 Quick Start Guide. Select DL Explorer in the Tools menu and then
select the Edit DL Groups... button. Within the DL Groups dialog, you can change a log group name
by clicking on it and editing it directly. In the Logs tab, select the log to add from the Name drop-down
list. Select the log format using the Format drop-down list (ASCII or Binary). Select the trigger for
the log using the Trigger drop-down list. If you choose the On Time trigger, select the period for
logging using the Period drop-down list or type it in. Select OK to add the new log to the log group.
To log to file, select File from the Port drop-down list.
2. Edit the Site
In the DL Explorer dialog, select a group name from the left panel and select the Site tab. Check the
Automatically Log Site on Startup and the Include Site Information checkboxes. Then enter a site
name or number, and the height of the antenna ‘lip’ from the site you are measuring.
Place the tape measure from the lip to where the tip of the antenna pole touches the
ground (do not measure straight down). The slant from the edge of the antenna is
different than when the measurement is straight down.
Add 33 mm to the measured reading. This makes up for the distance of the antenna
element to the lip on NovAtel 700-series antennas.
Click OK for your input to take effect and return you to the main DL Explorer window.
You can now log a site and the site information is written to the log file.
