6.4 Updating using SoftLoad Commands
Use SoftLoad to update an OEM6 family receiver.
1. Open a connection to any port on the receiver (COM or USB port) with a user Application Program-
ming Interface (API).
2. Request the SOFTLOADSTATUSA log using the following command:
LOG SOFTLOADSTATUSA ONCHANGED.
3. Initialize SoftLoad with a SOFTLOADRESET command. This command stops all tracking on the
receiver to ensure sufficient memory is available for the loading process. A RXSTATUSEVENTA log
reports a SoftLoad In Progress status.
4. Open the *.SHEX firmware file.
Use SoftLoad if automated loading is required or the platform used to communicate with the
receiver if not supported by WinLoad.
Refer to Types of Firmware Files on page 47 for details on updating versus upgrading.
If using NovAtel Connect, close all windows before using the SOFTLOADSREC command
to avoid failure. Only the Console and ASCII Message windows may remain open.
