The OEMV Family Quick Reference Guide, available on the CD
or on our Web site, provides comprehensive information about
available commands. The SMART-MR10/15 User Manual
provides information on a subset of these commands; in
particular, the ones commonly used by the SMART-MR15.
Connect to the caster as shown in the following example:
ENABLING SBAS POSITIONING
USING THE CAN BUS
The CAN Bus is a serial bus that provides services for
processes, data and network management. CAN Bus capability
is available through the SMART-MR15 evaluation cable.
This positioning mode is enabled using the SBASCONTROL
command, as follows:
ntripclient mount mountpoint user_id
password rtcmv3 10
sbascontrol enable auto
The CAN module is activated by entering the command
SETCANNAME 305. If this is followed by entering the
SAVECONFIGcommand, the CAN module is activated
immediately on all subsequent start-ups. The module supports
NMEA 2000 Parameter Group Message (PGN): PGN 129029
GNSSPositionData, PGN 129025 GNSSPositionRapidUpdate,
and PGN 129026 COGandSOGRapidUpdate.
Once enabled, the Solution type field shown in Connect’s
Position window changes from Single to SBAS, and you may
see SBAS satellites in the Constellation window. SMART-MR15
will track available SBAS satellites, including WAAS, EGNOS
and other SBAS systems.
SAVECONFIG COMMAND
If connecting to an RTK caster that employs VRS
technology, the data rate for transmitting NMEA positions to
If you change the configuration of a function and want to save

the caster must also be specified. For example, to transmit
position messages to a network RTK caster every 10
seconds, the following commands should be used:
When using NovAtel Connect to configure your receiver,
ntripclient mount mountpoint user_id password rtcmv3 10
ensure all of the graphical windows are closed before you
issue the SAVECONFIG command.
EMULATED RADAR (ER)
The SMART-MR15 provides an emulated ground speed RADAR
pulse output. The enclosure outputs ER via the bare wire
labeled ER on both the SMART-MR15 evaluation and
streamlined cables. Refer to Appendix B.5 RADARCFG of the
SMART-MR10/15 User Manual.
NTRIP commands are save-configurable. After you save

the settings, the SMART-MR15 automatically connects to
the NTRIP caster after a power cycle. For more information
about configuring NTRIP, refer to application note APN-057

Follow the procedure outlined in the cellular activation guide
included with your SMART-MR15. To check cellular modem
status information, enter log cellstatus.
ENABLING GL1DE®
ER is enabled by default. To disable ER, use the RADARCFG
command as follows:

The ER low and high pulse levels are within 0.5V of the ground
and battery, respectively. Note this is not a logic level output.
The rise and fall time is less than 1 ms. The ER outputs
reference battery GND when the output is logic low. It outputs
logic low until the vehicle speed is greater than 1 km/hr. It
provides an output frequency that represents 36.11 Hz/km/hr
(default value) with an effective range from 1 km/hr to 55 km/hr,
and uses 2D velocity for near-horizontal applications. The
default value can be changed to 26.11 or 28.12 Hz/km/hr using
the RADARCFGcommand.

If you prefer, Connect provides a graphical interface for
configuring data logging. Select Logging Control Window from
the Tools menu. In the Logging Control window, you can select
which logs to capture and choose the ports to which you want
the data sent. You can also specify a file in which to save the
data.
LOGGING DATA
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS
An extensive set of logs has been created to capture the data
your SMART-MR15 receives and processes. These logs can be
directed to a SMART-MR15 port (COM1 or AUX) and can be
automatically generated when new or changed data becomes
available, or at regular intervals. Available logs are listed in the
OEMV Family Quick Reference Guide, found on our Web site at
Manuals.
If you have any questions or comments regarding your
SMART-MR15 please contact NovAtel using one of these
methods:
Email: [email protected]
Web: www.novatel.com
Phone: 1-800-NOVATEL (U.S. & Canada)
1-800-668-2835
1-403-295-4900 (International)
To log data, use the LOG command. For example, to log the
pseudorange position to COM 1 every 30 seconds, enter the
following:
Fax:
1-403-295-4901
log com1 psrposb ontime 30
When requesting logs, you can request the output data in three
formats:
When logging data through Connect, close all unused windows
to maximize COM port throughput and receiver CPU
performance.

•
ASCII
Abbreviated ASCII
Binary
SMART-MR15-specific logs are not included in the Connect
drop-down menus.
Abbreviated ASCII is the best format to use when you want to
work with the receiver directly and review individual log contents
visually.
Refer to the SMART-MR10/15 User Manual (OM-20000130) or
the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual (OM-20000094)
for information about the LOG command.
