- When logging RINEX ˝les, the receiver now uses RINEX v3.04 by default (instead of v2.11).
Improvements in version 4.12.1
- It is now possible to con˝gure the PPS pulses to be generated every 4 seconds.
- Decoding of Galileo I/NAV ephemerides in di°cult environment has been improved.
- The state of the PPS output signal is unde˝ned when the receiver boots.
- The spoo˝ng detector has been improved and identi˝es more types of spoofers.
- The handling of VRS correction data has been re˝ned to improve position accuracy.
- When using “setUMSDOnConnect,on” and the USB cable is disconnected, the internal disk is now automatically re-mounted and logging resumes.
- Handling of antenna phase center o˙set has been improved.
- Decoding of BeiDou ephemerides in di°cult environment has been improved.
- Antenna in-rush current limitation has been increased.
- A new command setIpKeepAlive has been added to allow the customer to enable and con˝gure TCP/IP keepalive functionality on the IP and IPS ports.
- The receiver now has full support of the QZSS J04.

- A second independent PPS output is now available.
- IP over USB is now available.
- QZSS support has been added to the positioning engine.
- The maximum number of satellites used in RTK positioning has been increased.
Improvements in version 4.10.0
- BeiDou Phase III signals (B1C and B2a) are now encoded in RTCM3 MSM according to the second amendment to the RTCM version 3.3 standard
- The NMEA talker ID for BeiDou has been changed from BD to GB in accordance with the NMEA version 4.11 standard.
- Login with Ed25519 SSH keys is now supported.
- An issue related to an invalid UTC time ˝eld at startup of the receiver in the NMEA interface has been resolved.
- Decoding of Galileo ephemerides at cold startup has been improved.
- Interoperability with VRS bases has been improved.
- TLS 1.3 is now supported.
Known Issues and Limitations
- When con˝guring the receiver to broadcast or multicast data (e.g. SBF, NMEA) over UDP, on the “Ethernet over USB” network interface, the data is transmitted twice. Unicast UDP and other network interfaces are not a˙ected by this.
- It is not possible to upgrade the receiver using mobile Safari on iOS devices.
- If more than one user simultaneously changes settings via the web interface, the resulting con˝guration of the receiver may not be consistent.
- The web server on the receiver has been tested with Chrome, Firefox and Microsoft Edge. If you experience any problems with your browser, please use a di˙erent client application.
- IPS connections may stay visible in the web interface after the client has been disconnected.
- The NTRIP server connection is sometimes not reliable when connected to a caster running “Professional Ntrip Broadcaster” (up to v2.0.22).
- Firewall on computers can delay accepting connection by up to 4 minutes. Before using IPR functionality ensure that the desired IP port is enabled on your computer.
- Moving base output is limited to 20 Hz.
- The generation rate of GBS and GRS NMEA sentence is limited to 1 Hz.
- When accessing the webUI over HTTPS, occasional CPU overloads can be detected.
