Features and benefits

 
  • Improved GPS satellites acquisition during receiver initialization. The version 3.00.5 firmware addresses an issue in the initialization routine of the receiver that stopped the receiver from correctly acquiring all GPS satellites. This issue was characterized by lower than expected satellite counts visible in field software.
  •   Improved real-time precision estimates when using SBAS corrections. Changes were made to the calculation of current estimated accuracy (CEA) values when using SBAS satellite corrections. The changes improve both the accuracy and stability of the calculations of real-time precision estimates.
  •  Improved GNSS stability when tracking SBAS satellites. The version 3.00.5 firmware contains an update that resolves a stability issue affecting SBAS tracking. This issue was characterized by the receiver intermittently resetting when using SBAS satellite corrections.
  • Improved GNSS firmware update process. The version 3.00.5 firmware resolves an issue where the system report would not show the current version of the GNSS firmware until after the field software had been used to connect to the GNSS receiver. After installing version 3.00.5, the current GNSS firmware version will show up in the System Information application immediately following the completion of the firmware update process.
