SF-2040 User Guide – Rev. F
Chapter 4 ...............................Configuration
The SF-2040 has a rich interface and detailed control
language, allowing each unit to be individually tailored
to a specific application.
There are essentially 3 methods available to
configure and control the SF-2040:
9 StarUtil – This program is a NavCom developed
utility designed to configure and view many (but
not all) of the SF-2040 functions. In addition to its
setup capabilities, StarUtil can capture and log
data, upload new software and licenses to the
three internal processors, 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 CD with the SF-2040.
9 3 rd
part 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.
9 User Program – User’s may develop unique
operating programs to control the SF-2040
(potentially in conjunction with other devices or
utilities). To facilitate this effort, NavCom has two
additional tools available: the Integrators Tool Kit
(ITK) and the Technical Reference Manual
(TRM). Information on these tools is available
from the NavCom web site and customer service.
