Stand alone Javad procedures using WINDOWS software
links to 3 pieces of windows software you have to have to pull data off the Javad GPS.
1. the Javad usb drivers have to be installed
http://www.javad.com/jgnss/products/receivers/delta.html - click downlooad and choose usb driver
2. the file that says setup is the javad netview software, this is used to connect the javad and download the data. - download this from the link below
http://javad.com/jgnss/products/software/netview.html - click download at the top left and download the setup file
3. teqc is a program used to conver raw javad files to rinex. - download that, its made to run in a dos command window
http://facility.unavco.org/software/teqc/teqc.html
Once all is installed, plug the usb cord into the javad and into the computer, if the USB drivers were installled it should pop up and say that it found and installed the javad (or "a device"). Next run the netview software. Click on connections and there is a drop down box that says tcp, choose USB, then there is a long drop down box on the right, drop it down and there should be a long text string listed that is the connection to the javad over usb, select that one. Now, the next part im not quite sure on, but there is a tab on the left where you can choose the receiver then there is button where you can click on download files. it should start the download, after you verify that you have the file you can delete it if you want. There should be enough room for about 60 total hours of gps data, so it might be best to leave the file on the javad and not delete it. next time you run it it will create a new file name, not overwrite the other.
to convert the javad .jps file to RINEX you need to use the dos command line program teqc.exe, instructions are below.
Download teqc here
http://www.unavco.org/software/data-processing/teqc/teqc.html
here is an example command line
teqc -javad jps +nav 3vt2ddd0.14n 3vt2mmdd.jps > 3vt2ddd0.14o
where
3vt2mmdd.jps is the javad raw file
the 3vt2 is the 4 letter name of the javad, 3vt2 is the name for one of mine here, I dont know the name of that one, it should be the first 4 letters of the filename, so anywhere above where you see 3vt2 replace it with your first 4 letters
the 14n and 14o will changed based on year, in 2016 would be 16n and 16o
mmdd is month and day
ddd is julian day of year for the start date of the file - for example, April 1st is day 091
This creates RINEX data.

JAVAD CONFIG
The configuration settings are in the last 5 lines, starting with "NVRAM settings".
Regarding the prefix, if you can log some data and look at the (raw, mostly binary) output file in a text viewer, the top several lines should look something like the following:
JP055RLOGF JPS DELTA Receiver Log File
MF009JP010109F
PM024rcv/ver/main="3.0.2 Jul,06,2009",@7C
PM027rcv/id="3VYB1HLS07PXK3VQOO30T2D7WH",@CE
PM01Ercv/ver/board="TRE_G2TH_5",@B6
In this example (for aircraft receiver 3vyb), that 4-character prefix is in the line that starts with PM02rcv/id="stuff".
Hopefully you'll see something similar with these new receivers. I suggest you use that as the prefix, to be consistent with the way we log the 4 original Javads. I prefer lower-case, to make all the typing a little easier.
Javad notes here:
old NON glonass javads can run 26 hours on LiFePO4 batteries!!
Sigma javad batteries must be purchased through Javad. They have a date code on them, for example 1402 shows it was made the second month of 2014.

current firmware version for 3vlz and 3vyu is
RE012 3.2.7 May,16,2011
board version for non glonass is
RE00B TRE_G2TH_5
USB driver on a linux:
rmmod usbserial (might give error msg, this OK)
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x1a46 product=0x0000
(this appears to work whether or not the Javad is plugged in via USB, meaning it can be done at boot-up)
to do so, modify /etc/rc.local as root with the above command
MEMORY:
Our Javads have 2 Gb of internal memory
at 2 Hz rate, raw Javad data consumes ~10 Mb/hr
at 10 Hz, the rate is ~50 Mb/hr
so at 2 Hz, 2000 Mb/10Mb/hr = 200 hr
at 10 Hz, 2000 Mb/50Mb/hr = 40 hr
to print total memory on Javad:
print,/par/dev/blk/a/size
to print free memory on Javad:
print,/par/dev/blk/a/free
to print firmware version on Javad:
print,/par/rcv/ver/main
to clear NVRAM:
with power off, push and hold FN, then push power for 6 secs, release power while still hold FN, wait until 4 led's blink yellow then release the FN button
NVRAM settings:
1. log file name should start with receiver ID number, ie, "3vt2"
2. log file data rate should be 0.1 sec
3. serial NMEA output should be set to GGA at 0.5 secs
4. serial baud rate should be set to 9600
If you ever see flashing lights green - yellow - red it means the OAF file has expired, you must load a new file on to the unit, this should only happen to a newly purchased unit.
