Operation
This chapter describes receiver operations other than those available through the front
panel.
Receiver Initialization
It is good practice to reset your receiver prior to operating it for the first time or when a
system malfunction occurs. A reset of the internal memory clears the memory and restores
the factory defaults. This reset does not affect data stored on the PCMCIA card. Send this
command to execute the initialization:
$PASHS,INI,5,5,5,5,1,0
For more information about this command, refer to Chapter 6, Command/Response
Formats.
Setting Receiver Parameters
All user parameters may be set or changed by sending commands to the receiver serial
port. Refer to Chapter 6, Command/Response Formats for more information about these
commands. In the Z-Surveyor and the Z-FX receivers, many parameters are accessible
through the front panel LED display. Refer to your individual receiver operations manual
for more information.
Saving Parameter Settings
Ordinarily, receiver parameters that have been changed will return to their default status
after a power cycle. The Z-Family of receivers allows you to save changed receiver
settings so they will be saved through a power cycle. Perform the following steps to save
receiver settings:
1. Send the receiver command: $PASHS,SAV,Y.
2. This command will save any parameters that have been modified from their
default values before the command is issued. For more information about this
command, refer to “SAV: Save User Parameters” on page 109.
