AG-STAR User Manual Rev 2 11
1.2 Scope
This manual contains information about the installation and operation of the AG-STAR system. It is beyond
the scope of this manual to provide details on service or repair. Contact your local NovAtel dealer for any
customer-service related inquiries.
An AG-STAR system requires the addition of accessories and a power supply.
The AG-STAR utilizes a comprehensive user-interface command structure, which requires communications
through its communications ports. This manual describes the AG-STAR specific commands and logs, see
Appendix B, Commands on page 49 and Appendix C, Logs on page 60. For descriptions of other commands
and logs available for AG-STAR, refer to the OEMStar Firmware Reference Manual
available from the
NovAtel web site (www.novatel.com/support/manuals/
). It is recommended that these documents be kept
together for easy reference.
AG-STAR output is compatible with post-processing software from NovAtel's Waypoint
®
Products Group.

1.3 Conventions
The following conventions are used in this manual:
• The letter H in the Offset columns of the commands and logs tables represents the header length for
that command or log. Refer to the OEMStar Firmware Reference Manual
for ASCII and binary
header details.
• The number following 0x is a hexadecimal number.
• Command descriptions’ brackets, [ ], indicate optional parameters.
• In tables where values are missing they are assumed to be reserved for future use.
• Status words are output as hexadecimal numbers and must be converted to binary format (and in
some cases then also to decimal). For an example of this type of conversion, refer to the RANGE log
in the OEMStar Firmware Reference Manual
.
• Conversions and their binary or decimal results are always read from right to left. For a complete list
of hexadecimal, binary and decimal equivalents, search our support materials for Unit Conversions
