StarUtil 3000 Overview
StarUtil 3000 is a NavCom developed utility designed to configure and view many (but not all) of
the SF-3040 and SF-3050 functions. (Refer to the Sapphire Technical Reference Manual for the
complete set of commands and responses utilized by the SF-3040 and SF-3050 receivers.) In
addition to its setup capabilities via the upload of Firmware, Software Bundles and/or Options,
and a StarFire License, if purchased, StarUtil 3000 can upload and create User Profiles, capture
and log data, and query and display various receiver performance functions.
The SF-3040 and SF-3050 software-enabled features (bundled or purchased individually for the
SF-3050), cover a wide variety of applications. For the SF-3050, refer to the SF-3050 GNSS
Product User Guide for descriptions of the software options in each bundle: SF-3050A, SF3050G, SF-3050S, and SF-3050M.
