v1.96 - GPS Pathfinder Power Firmware(XRS_XR_Pwr_196.exe - 2843 KB)Download this executable to upgrade your GPS Pathfinder Power receiver to GPS firmware version 1.96.

New Features:

  • Support for OmniSTAR’s VBS2 broadcast formats. OmniSTAR is changing their broadcast data formats to a new format—VBS2. This new format will be used on all differential satellite broadcasts in the future, and the old VBS format will be switched off.
  • The new WAAS satellites (PRNs 135 and 138) are included in the GPS receiver’s default tracking list. This allows the satellites to be tracked when using the “Auto” tracking mode in Trimble field software.
  • Updated SBAS (WAAS and EGNOS) ephemeris information and tracking to improve initial fix and reacquisition times.
  • Support for Custom SBAS tracking mode in Trimble field software. This allows you to configure the receiver to track, or not to track, particular SBAS satellites. If you are planning on using the Custom SBAS tracking mode you need to download the latest SBAS.ini file.
