versions of the PC software and receiver firmware.

The CD accompanying this manual contains the Windows applications CDU (Control and Display 
Unit) and Convert. They are installed via a standard Install Shield set-up application. Also included on 
the CD is sample source code, to aid development of software for interfacing with the receiver, and 
product documentation.

These applications utilize a database in their operations so the necessary components of the Borland 
Database Engine (BDE) are installed as well as the necessary database tables and an alias for the 
database. The install set-up application does all this automatically so you have only to select where 
you would like the applications installed on your PC. It is strongly recommended that you close all 
applications before installing CDU and Convert. You must close any applications that may be using 
the BDE before installing. The install set-up modifies the BDE configuration so that it can recognize 
the new CDU and Convert.

The software operates from your PC’s hard drive. You will need to install the software from the CD 
supplied by NovAtel or from our Web site:

1.

Start Microsoft Windows.

2.

Place the NovAtel CD in your CD-ROM drive. If the setup utility is not automatically accessible, 
follow these steps:

a.

Select Run from the Start menu.

b.

Select the Browse button.

c.

Locate Setup.exe on the CD drive and select Open.

d.

Select OK to run the setup utility.

3.

Advance through the steps provided by the setup utility.

When the installation is complete, click on a program icon to launch the application.
