SF-3050 User Guide – Rev B
Chapter 5 ...............................Configuration
The SF-3050 has a rich interface and detailed control
language, allowing each unit to be individually
programmed to a specific application.
There are essentially 3 methods available to
configure and control the SF-3050:
 StarUtil-3000 – This program is a NavCom
developed utility designed to configure and view
many (but not all) of the SF-3050 functions. In
addition to its setup capabilities, StarUtil-3000 can
capture and log data, upload new software and
licenses to the internal processor, and query and
display various receiver performance functions.
Though it is developed as an Engineering tool, it
has its own place in the commercial market as
well. The program is provided on the SF-3050
Product USB Flash Drive.
 3 rd
party controller – Some manufacturers have
already integrated NavCom’s control features in
their bundled hardware and software solution kits
in a variety of applications including GIS,
Machine Control, Aerial Photogrammetry, Land &
Oceanographic Survey, Agriculture, and Military
products. Information on these applications is
available from the NavCom web site and
customer service.
 User Program – User’s may develop unique
operating programs to control the SF-3050
(potentially in conjunction with other devices or
utilities). To facilitate this effort, NavCom
provides the Sapphire Technical Reference
Manual (TRM). Information on this tool is
available from the NavCom web site and
customer service.
