StarUtil-3000 User Guide – Rev A
Chapter 5 .......................................................................... Software Options
This chapter provides instructions to upload Software Options to enable the robust functionality
of the SF-3050 in the initial configuration purchased by the user, or as a performance upgrade.
The SF-3050 is designed with a long-term performance upgrade path to meet changing needs
via software upgrades. Increased functionality does not typically require the costly purchase of
additional hardware.

The SF-3050 software-enabled features, bundled or purchased individually,
cover a wide variety of applications. Refer to the SF-3050 GNSS Products User
Guide for descriptions of the software options in each bundle: SF-3050G,

For the initial setup of the SF-3050, Software Options must be loaded before the
StarFire License (if purchased).
