The DL-V3 provides additional USB and Ethernet ports and  
Bluetooth® functionality. The USB drivers, along with installation  
instructions, are available in the USB Drivers directory of the CD  
provided. An installation program for NovAtel’s PC Utilities,  
including the CDU (Control and Display Unit) user interface, and  
the OEMV Software Development Kit are also on the CD.  
4. Install the PC Utilities by advancing through the steps  
SETTING UP YOUR DL-V3  
provided in the NovAtel PC Utilities setup program.  
Complete the steps below to connect and power your DL-V3.  
1. Mount a GNSS antenna on a secure, stable structure with  
an unobstructed view of the sky from horizon to horizon.  
There are LEDs on the front of the DL-V3 that show status  
information on power, receiver status, COMs (COM1, COM2 and  
AUX), COM3 (Bluetooth or Ethernet), satellite tracking, flash  
card memory, positioning mode, and occupation time. See the  
DL-V3 LEDs section of this guide.  
5. Line up the red mark on the power cable connector with the  
red mark on the receiver’s INPUT 9-28 V connector and  
insert the power cable.  
2. Ensure a CF card is in the slot behind the door on the front  
face of the DL-V3. Open, or secure, the door by turning the  
latch.  
BOX CONTENTS  
Once the CF card is installed, ensure that it is  
properly formatted by issuing the DISK  
FORMATcommand or by selecting Tools | DL  
Explorer | CF Card Status in CDU. See also the  
CDU sections of this guide.  
In addition to this Quick Start Guide, the following is provided

2. Before using Bluetooth or Ethernet, use a serial COM or USB  
connection to communicate with the receiver. This will give you the  
ability to configure the PC/laptop and DL-V3 before Ethernet or  
Bluetooth use. Refer to the DL-V3 User Manual on our website at:  
1.If an alternative power source is preferred, the automobile power adapter can  
be cut off from the power cable. The exposed wires (red and orange for posi-  
tive, brown and black for negative) can then be tied to a supply capable of at  
least 5 W.

DETERMINING WHEN THE POSITION IS VALID  
UPLOADING A LOG GROUP  
When the receiver has a valid position, the Solution Status field  
in CDU’s Position window shows Computed.  
Once enabled, the Position Type field shown in CDU’s Position  
window should change from Single to WAAS and you may see  
SBAS satellites in the Constellation window. An example is  
shown on the next page.  
Once a log group has been created, it can be uploaded to the  
DL-V3. The steps below provide details on uploading a group.  
1. Launch CDU and open, or create, a DL-V3 configuration.  
See the Establishing Receiver Communication section on  
the first page of this guide.  
1. In the DL Explorer window, select the Group Management  
button.  
2. Select DL Explorer in the Tools menu  
and then select the Edit DL Groups...  
button.  
ENTERING COMMANDS  
The DL-V3 uses a comprehensive command interface.  
Commands can be sent to the receiver using the Console  
window in CDU, which is opened from the View menu. Enter  
commands in the text box at the bottom of the Console window.

3. In the Logs tab, select the log to add from the Name drop-  
down list.  
3. Select the UpLoad button to copy the group.  
4. Select the log format using the Format drop-down list. You  
can only use ASCII or Binary format to log to file.  
The following information is important when entering commands:  
5. Select the trigger for the log using the Trigger drop-down list.  
Commands can be entered in three formats:  
 
To confirm you are tracking an L-band signal, log the L-band  
status information by entering: log lbandstat. For example,  
if you are receiving CDGPS, the fifth field after the header  
should be 00c2:

command as shown in the examples below:  
RT-2 (OEMV-2 and OEMV-3) and RT-20 (OEMV-1, OEMV-1G,  
OEMV-2 and OEMV-3), all with AdVance RTK, are real-time  
kinematic software products developed by NovAtel. Optimal  
RTK performance is achieved when both the base and rovers  
are NovAtel products. However, AdVance RTK will operate with  
equipment from other manufacturers when using RTCM  
messaging.  
OEMV-based output is compatible with post-processing  
software from the Waypoint Products Group, NovAtel Inc. For  
details, visit our website at:

or,  
otherwise it is left at the default AUTOMATIC.  
MOUNTING BRACKET  
Refer to the OEMV Family Firmware Reference Manual for more  
on individual L-band, GLONASS or SBAS commands and logs.  
A mounting kit is provided with the DL-V3 enclosure enabling  
you to mount the receiver to a surface. The mounting kit is not  
designed for use in high-dynamics/vibration environments. Refer  
also to its accompanying instruction sheet.  
RT-2 and RT-20 are supported by GPS-only and  
GPS+GLONASS OEMV-based models. Also, RT-20 with  
GPS+GLONASS provides faster convergence.  
REAL-TIME KINEMATIC (RTK) POSITIONING  
Corrections can be transmitted from a base station to a rover  
station to improve position accuracy. The base station is the  
GNSS receiver which is acting as the stationary reference. It has  
a known position and transmits correction messages to the rover  
station. The rover station is the GNSS receiver which does not  
know its exact position and can receive correction messages  
from a base station to calculate differential GNSS positions.  
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS  
ENABLING L-BAND  
1. Refer to the GPGST log’s usage box in the OEMV Firmware  
If you have any questions or comments regarding your DL-V3,  
please contact NovAtel using one of these methods:  
Reference Manual for a definition of RMS and other statistics.  
L-band equipped receivers allow you to achieve sub-meter  
accuracy. To use this positioning mode, you must enable L-band  
tracking to the Canada-Wide Differential GPS (CDGPS) or  
OmniSTAR signal. A subscription to OmniSTAR is required to  
use the OmniSTAR VBS, XP or HP service (visit http://  
www.omnistar.com with your receiver serial number ready). The  
CDGPS signal is free and available without subscription over  
North America (visit http://www.cdgps.com).  
2. For more base/rover configurations, search the key words  
“rover base” on our Knowledge Database at:  
Phone: 1-800-NOVATEL (U.S. & Canada)  
+1-403-295-4900 (International)  
In most cases, provide a data link between the base station and  
rover station (two NovAtel receivers) in order to receive  
corrections. SBAS and L-band corrections can be accomplished  
with one receiver and are exceptions to the base/rover concept.  
Generally a link capable of data throughput at a rate of 9600 bits  
per second, and less than 4.0 s latency, is recommended.  
EXTERNAL OSCILLATOR  
Fax:  
+1-403-295-4901  
For certain applications requiring greater precision than what is  
possible using the on-board 20 MHz, voltage-controlled,  
temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (VCTCXO), you  
may wish to connect the DL-V3 to an external, high-stability  
oscillator. The external oscillator can be either 5 MHz or 10 MHz.  
The ASSIGNLBAND command allows you to set OmniSTAR or  
CDGPS base station communication parameters. It should  
include a relevant frequency and data rate. The frequency  
assignment can be made in Hz or KHz. For example:  
Quick Start Guide:  
DL-V3:  
Once your base and rover are set up, you can configure them for  
RTCA, RTCM, RTCMV3, CMR+ or CMR corrections. Below is  
an RTCM example (replace the latitude, longitude and height  
coordinates shown with those of your base):

powered down during this procedure.
