N.4 "Coarse" RAIM has been re-designed.

 

N.5 Logic for computing elevation/azimuth of satellites by means of using

almanac data has been tuned.

 

N.6 Geoidal heights are available for output (NMEA-0183 GGA contains this

information).

 

N.7 Computing coordinates expressed in local datum has been supported.

 

N.8 Output of NMEA GRS and GSA messages has been corrected.

 

N.9 Internal logic for maintaining the correspondance between

GLONASS slot and frequency channel numbers has been improved.

 

N.10 Conventions for file names have been changed in Net-G3 receivers.

 

N.11 LAT1/LON1/LAT2/LON2 options have been taken into the account.

 

 

For all boards (including GR-3 and Net-G3):

 

A.1 "AutoSeed" functionality (averaging of multiple base positions) has been

supported.

 

A.2 Tracking of GLONASS’ zero frequency channel number has been implemented.

setting the parameter "/par/frq/input" to "off" has been corrected.

 

A.5 The problem that could manifest itself by means of inability to resume

the computing of RTK solution, if a pause on the order of tens of minutes

in RTK data link occured, has been resolved.

 

A.6 The support of decoding of NMEA-0183 XDR message has been implemented. The

contents of XDR message is available for output via TPS message [XD].

 

A.7 New options have been added: SEED, _IMU, OMSV, TPBN, TPPM, TPVC, _L2C,

 

A.8 Antenna database has been updated. New types of antenna have been added

to existing ones. New version antenna database is 2.1.1 (NGS: 07/06/08

231 antennas).

 

A.9 Logic for outputting GGA string via NTRIP/PPP protocols has been improved.

 

A.10 More robust checking of SV IDs in incoming RTK/DGNSS data has been

implemented.

 

A.11 The method for turning on Extended Information Mode has been changed.

FH/UHF Topcon, Satel and Arwest modems.

 

A.16 The possibility to obtain differential data through IP address and

corresponding port has been added.

 

A.17 The size of "/par/ppp/gprs/pdp/apn" parameter was extended to 64

bytes ( string[0..64]) instead of 32 as before.

 

A.18 CMR numbers was changed for antenna types listed below:

CMR=229 correspond now to "TPSGR3" antenna (was "TPSGR_3").

CMR=234 correspond now to "TPS_MC.A5" antenna(was "TPSMG_A5").

CMR=230 correspond now to "TPSCR.G3NONE" (was "TPSCR_G3").

 

A.19 For supporting the onboard Wavecom modems, PPP timeout for TPS UHF/FH

internal modem was changed from 5 to 10 seconds.

 

A.20 New PPP parameters have been added: mtu, ping, idle for better

CDMA support.

 

A.21 The support of new GLONASS datum PZ-90.02 has been implemented.

 

A.22 The command init,/setup/ has been made working properly for not G3-based

boards.

 

A.23 SBAS processing has been improved (corresponding changes have been added

to the troposphere model).

 

A.24 The parameter for switching between PZ-90 and PZ-90.02 dynamic

constants has been implemented. This parameter is required to maintain

compatibility with previous versions of firmware.

 

A.25 Datum ID "P90" corresponds to PZ-90.02 datum now. Previous PZ-90 datum

has got "P90-I" designation.

 

A.26 Support of Satel and ArWest modems has been tuned.

 

A.27 Problems connected with using jps/max and jps/min messages sets in RTK

mode have been resolved. This problem might affect performances when

working with combined GPS+GLONASS constellation.

 

A.28 Internal logic that deals with procesing new GLONASS satellites has been

modified.

 

A.29 Support of mmGPS functionality in EG3 boards has been tuned and modified.

 

 

 

0. Compatibility Notes.

 

0.1 Starting at the version 3.2, new method for turning the Extended

Information Mode on/off has been supported. It is required to push FN button

three times over the period of three seconds to enable/disable this mode.

 

0.2 It is not recommended using the parameter "/par/lock/pcode". Use the

parameters "/par/lock/gps/pcode" and "/par/lock/glo/pcode" instead.

 

0.3 Argument of the parameter "/par/lock/gps/l2c" has been changed. Now it

contains two arguments for turning on/off tracking of CL and CM

signals separately from each other.

 

0.4 File name conventions for AFRM mode have been changed for Net-G3

receivers: files created at hour boarders have the following names:

XXXXa, XXXXa001, XXXXa002... for interval 00:00:00-00:59:59;

XXXXb, XXXXb001, XXXXb002... for interval 01:00:00-01:59:59 etc.

 

0.5 TPS message [EN] has been outdated. Use [E3] instead.

 

0.6 Parameters "/par/ant/inp" and "/par/ant/curinp" are obsolete. Use the

parameters "/par/ant/rcv/inp" and "/par/ant/rcv/curinp" instead.

 

0.7 The default value of the parameter "/par/lock/notvis" is set to "on" for

G3-based boards (it is a read only parameter for these boards).

 

0.8 The range of arguments in parameters for locking/using GLONASS satellites

have been changed (parameters "/par/lock/glo/fcn/N" and

"/par/pos/glo/fcn/N"): now N is in the range of -7 - +13 (previous

range was +1 - +24).

 

0.9 The change in GLONASS datum leads to incompatibility when working with

previous versions of the firmware provided RTCM Message Types

20/21/31/32/34 are in use. In other words, the problem arises when

working in code differential mode or in RTK mode (if Message Types 20/21

are used). It is recommended to upload both the base and

the rover receiver with the same version 3.2. When working with Message

Types 20/21, it is required, also, to change the parameter

"/par/pos/datum/glo/dyn" to maintain compatibility with previous versions.

2.2 mmGPS (NBEAM) parameters.

 

Name: /par/pos/pd/nbeam/id

Access: rw

Type: enumerated

Values: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | any | auto

Default: auto

Description: Selection of ID of the transmitter the sensor must work

with. The best one from rms point of viewwill be selected

if the value is set to ’any’. In this case the receiver will try

to switch the best one. If you choose ’auto’ PZS itself

will try to find ID from present in view according

its own rules. Anytime it is possible to change ’any’ to

’auto’ to acquire signal again if there is any problem with

signal availability.

Do not forget properly set serial port used by PZS with help

of command /par/pos/pd/nbeam/port !

 

Name: /par/pos/pd/nbeam/any

Access: rw

Type: enumerated

Values: permanent | auto | arrange

Default: permanent

Description: In case of id==any this command instructs receiver what to do in cases:

- dissapering laser signal because of e.g. shading;

- unsuccessful switching to the best transmitter;

Value ’permanent’ instructs receiver try to continue acquiring signal up

to success. ’auto’ instructs PZS to try to find ID from

present in view according its own rules. ’arrange’ instructs

receiver to arrange all enabled IDs according rms and to try

consecutively catch one from available

 

Name: /par/pos/pd/nbeam/wait

Access: rw

Type: list {float t1, float t2}

Values: {0.099...60 , 0.099...60}

Default: {4.,60.}

Description: t1 defines time interval in seconds how long it is necessary

to waiting for choosed signal acquiring in cases of dissapering signal

and unsuccessful switching for values any==auto or

any==arrange. t2 defines how long it is necessary to work with

found signal. After t2 passing awaythe receiver will try to

acquire the best ID again.

 

Name: /par/pos/pd/nbeam/bridging

Access: rw

Type: boolean

Values: on | off

Default: off

Description: Setting this parameter to ’on’ instructs receiver to bridge

(to compensate jump) mmGPS height estimationat ID

changing. If you choose ’on’ be sure there is not considerable

changing of height during laser signal absence

 

Name: /par/pos/pd/nbeam/type

Access: rw

Type: enumerated

Values: const | dissap

Default: const

Description: This parameter defines type of bridging. Value ’const’ means the

compensation is distributed uniformly (constantly) over all zone where you

works with current ID. This type is recommended only for case

compact site (non-stretched) and when height installation /

initialization error of transmitter is dominant source of

error. Value ’dissap’ means a jump is instantaneously

compensated but then height estimation is slowly returning

back to original level (compensation is

dissapearing). Dissapering process has linear behaivour and

distibuted over zone with radius equal to double distance

between receiver and transmitter in moment of ID

changing. This type allow to avoid accumulation of error as

sqrt(N)*sigma where N- is total number of used transmitter

along path; sigma - standard deviation of error of single

transmitter. With help of this technique it is possible to

provide standard deviation of just sigma between design (project)

profile and measured by mmGPS. This technique is recommended

for stretched site (e.g. road work) when number N is large

enough (N>10) and when dominant error is either:

- horizontal installation/initialization error of transmitter

- thermal variation of self leveling mechanism of transmitter (wrong level calibration)

- strong beam refraction at long distances

- strong beam nonlinearity at long distances

- any other effect with non constant yield over distance

July 18, 2007

User visible changes in the firmware version 3.1 p3 since version 3.1 p2

 

Highlights.

 

 

1. Support of external/internal CDMA modem has been implemented.

 

2. The output of the state of the parameter "/par/frq/amp" for NET-G3 boards

has been implemented.

 

3. If the parameter "/par/frq/input" was set to "off", EGGDT and NET-G3 boards did not

correct the oscillator frequency offset upon turning the power on. This

problem has been resolved now.

 

4. The logic for locking SBAS satellites have been modified. Now all the

available SBAS satellites can be tracked.

 

5. New commands that allow specifying the timeouts for SBAS fast corrections in

manual mode have been added.

 

6. Performances of DGNSS (code differential) mode have been improved.

 

7. Corrections connected with identification of GLONASS satellites, in which

C/A L2 signal is available, have been implemented.

 

8. RTK mode: internal logic improvements (in particular, for G3-based

receivers).

 

9. [DL] message: the format has been corrected (a comma has been added to the

end of the group of parameters embraced with {...}).

 

10. The problem connected with AFRM mode (the receiver does not open a new file,

if a pre-defined amount of free memory remains) has been resolved.

Note: this problem was not resolved in the version 3.1p1.

 

11. The contents of [CC], [C1] and [C2] messages has been corrected for

G3-based receivers.

 

12. The logic of "coarse" RAIM has been modified.

port to "cdma":

 

set,/par/modem/c/mode,cdma

 

To close PPP connection the user has to set modem mode to "off":

 

set,/par/modem/c/mode,off

 

For CDMA modem, PPP connection works the same way as PPP connection

established through GPRS.

 

2.3 The speed parameter of PPP was changed to rewrite.

Description: PPP connection speed (baud rate).

 

Notes. If you change the speed parameter before set modem mode to

gprs, cdma or dialup, the firmware start searching

from the modem responce form the specified baud

rate. Was made to speed up the modem serch if the

real baud rate is known and the user don’t want wait

for automatical definition.

This command sets all the receiver parameters to their default values, and

makes a re-start of the receiver. Collected navigation data (satellite ephemerides and

almanac) will not be erased upon issuing this command.

 

This command can be considered as an analog of the command "init,/par/" except

that a receiver re-start occurs after the command "init,/setup/".

 

 

5. Obsolete parameters/commands/messages

 

5.1 init,/par/

 

It is not recommended to use this command since there are too many initializations,

which are done on-the-fly. Such initializations may affect the normal work of the receivers.

Instead, the command init,/setup/ should be used.

Notes:

 

To create PPP link through internal or external GSM modem connected to the

receiver serial port, the user should set modem mode of corrsponding modem

port to "gprs":

 

set,/par/modem/c/mode,gprs

 

To close PPP connection the user should set modem mode to "off":

 

set,/par/modem/c/mode,off

 

The firmware allows the user to set modem mode to "gprs" on all ports

independently. The firmware scans modem mode parameter for each port from

modem/a to modem/d and selects the first one with the value "gprs" to create

PPP link. Should the ’mode’ parameter of this modem port be set to "off", the

PPP connection for this port will be terminated and the firmware will repeat

search for modem mode equal to "gprs" value from port a to d.

 

Example:

 

%%set,/par/modem/c/pin,"0000" #set SIMCard PIN as modem parmeter

%%print,/par/modem/c/pin,on

RE019%%/par/modem/c/pin="0000"

 

%%set,/par/ppp/gprs/user,"mts"

%%set,/par/ppp/gprs/passwd,"mts"

Name: /par/ntrip/data

Access: r

Type: list { port, imode }

Description: The list of NTRIP data parameters.

Example:

 

Name: /par/ntrip/data/port

Access: rw

Type: enumerated

Values: any input port name

Default: /dev/ser/d

Description: NTRIP data port. The data received from NTRIP mountpoint

will be passed to the appropriate decoder as if they were

received from the specified port. The ’imode’ of the

specified port should be set by the user (using

/par/[port]/imode parameter) to match the data format of the

mountpoint.

 

Name: /par/ntrip/data/imode

Access: r

Type: enumerated

Values: refer to the /par/[port]/imode description

Default: refer to the /par/[port]/imode description

Description: current input mode of the receiver input port that is

selected as NTRIP data port.

 

Name: /par/ntrip/error

Access: r

Type: string[0..64]

Default: "No errors"

Description: Human readable description of the failure reason if any.

 

Before starting NTRIP connection the receiver should be configured to receive

corrections data. It’s recommended to use "extrap" RTK mode due to potentially

large delays on the Internet/GPRS.

 

NTRIP support requires access to an NTRIP server, so either Ethernet or

PPP/GPRS connection should be active for this feature to work.

 

The parameters below are mostly useful to provide a method for establishing

either GPRS or dialup connection to a provider of Internet services using

point-to-point protocol (PPP).

More Detailed Description

(refer to GRIL for even more details)

 

 

1. Messages.

 

1.1 BINEX record 00_00 improvements.

 

The following new fields have been implemented:

 

0x04, 0x0f, 0x17, 0x19, 0x1a, 0x1b, 0x1d, 0x1f.

 

The values for fields 0x04 and 0x0f could be specified using new parameters

’/par/binex/site’ and ’/par/binex/data_id’, respectively.

 

Capability to turn on/off the output of each of supported fields has been

implemented (refer to ’/par/binex/00_00’ parameter description below).

 

1.2 New BINEX messages.

 

The following BINEX messages have been implemented:

 

/msg/binex/7D_00 - BINEX record 0x7D-00

/msg/binex/7E_00 - BINEX record 0x7E-00

/msg/binex/7F_03 - BINEX record 0x7F-03

/msg/binex/7F_04 - BINEX record 0x7F-04

 

Meteorological data for BINEX record 0x7E-00 could be obtained by connecting

MET3-compatible sensor to a receiver port, setting the ’imode’ of the port to

’jps’ and enabling output of /msg/misc/MET3 to this port.

 

For example, to get data every minute (60 seconds) from MET3 sensor working at

9600 baud and connected to the serial port B, the following commands could be

used:

 

set,/par/dev/ser/b/rate,9600

set,/par/dev/ser/b/imode,jps

em,/dev/ser/b,/msg/misc/MET3:60

 

1.3 RTCM 3.0 GPS ephemeris and GLONASS ephemeris messages.

 

The following messages have been added:

 

/msg/rtcm3/1019 - GPS ephemeris

/msg/rtcm3/1020 - GLONASS ephemeris

 

These messages include GPS ephemeris and GLONASS ephemeris in accordance with

current RTCM documents. In order to enable the output of these messages

through, e.g., serial port C, use the following command:

 

em,/dev/ser/c,/msg/rtcm3/{1019,1020}

 

1.4 RTCM 3.0 proprietary text message.

 

The following message has been added:

 

/msg/rtcm3/4091t - proprietary text message

 

This message provides a possibility to transmit a text message from the base

to the rover receiver. It is a proprietary message, thus the receivers of

other developers cannot use this message. The command that enables the output

of this message is the following:

 

em,/dev/ser/c,/msg/rtcm3/4091t

 

2. Parameters.
