Novatel OM-20000077 Manuel D’Utilisation

maintained close to GPS time to provide a ranging capability.

NovAtel SUPERSTAR II-based receivers are equipped with an SBAS feature. The ability to simultaneously 
track two SBAS satellites, and incorporate the SBAS corrections into the position, is available in these models.

These models can output the SBAS data in log format (refer to Message ID# 67, WAAS Data in the L1 GPS 
Firmware Reference Manual), and can incorporate these corrections to generate differential-quality position 
solutions. Standard SBAS data messages are analyzed based on RTCA standard DO-229B Change 1 Minimum 
Operational Performance Standards for GPS/WAAS airborne equipment.

A SBAS-capable receiver will permit anyone within the area of coverage to take advantage of its benefits. 

The command Message ID# 95, Track SV, enables the use of particular SBAS corrections in the position filter.
Two SBAS-specific messages:

are also available. In order to use these messages, first ensure that your receiver is capable of receiving SBAS
corrections. 

StarView allows you to deselect GPS and SBAS system satellites. Select Tool Settings | Deselect | SVs from the 
main menu. To track one SBAS satellite in particular, do the following: 

1. Select SBAS SVs

2. Select the SBAS satellite that you wish to track by deselecting all the others. This ensures that the 

receiver will search for a satellites that is known to be operating and thus a quick acquisition/re-
acquisition of the active SBAS satellite. 

3. By default, if you select SBAS SVs alone, the unit is only searching for satellite PRNs 120, 122 and
