Introduction
Firmware Options
The pre-installed and optional firmware modules are listed in
the table below.
*: Pre-installed options, but by default will expire after three months of use.
Enabling a firmware option purchased separately from the
system relies on the use of the $PASHS,OPTION serial
command. For more information on how to enable an option,
refer to OPTION: Receiver Firmware Options on page 218.
IMPORTANT! After enabling firmware option [F] to enable
fast position output, the $PASHS,POP,20 command must be
run to make the fast output effective.
