StarUtil Overview
StarUtil is a NavCom developed utility designed to configure and view many (but not all) of the
GPS receiver functions. In addition to its setup capabilities, StarUtil can capture and log data,
upload new software and licenses to the internal processors, and query and display various
receiver performance functions. Though it is primarily an Engineering tool, it has its own place in
the commercial market as well.
This user guide provides information for two versions of StarUtil. Any differences between the
versions is noted.
