Openlog string on startup

Hi,
I just bought an Openlog datalogger, and I using that to record RAW data form an NVS8C GPS module.
Openlog works amazing, but I have an issue with the GPS, he needs to be told on each startup to go in raw mode.
Would it be possible to make Openlog send a serial string on startup?
Is as simple as adding a serial.print and a delay at the start of the loop? (I'm new to programming :roll: )

Thanks

I don't see why that wouldn't work. Certainly can't hurt to try. It might take some experimenting to get the timing of the transmission correct relative to the power up of the Openlog and GPS. How long after power up does it take for the GPS to become ready to accept commands ?
