API and Developer’s Kit

The Application Programming Interface (API) from Hexagon | NovAtel is used to develop specialized applications using the Lua programming language to extend the functionality of OEM7 receivers from NovAtel. Our API includes a set of predefined functions for developing custom software to execute from and interface with the GNSS/GPS receiver platform.

Our developer’s kit includes a simple scripting language for users to easily create scripts that enable specialized operations running onboard their GNSS/GPS receiver. Users have complete control of their data and programming through the customization of output formats and the ability to write custom algorithms without an additional processor.

These increased functionalities of the API developer’s kit from NovAtel eliminate additional hardware, simplify system design, reduce development time and decrease time to market.

The next generation API is available as an optional feature on the OEM7 family of NovAtel receivers.
