The default Position tab shows the latitude, longitude and
altitude of the current position, as computed by the
receiver, as well the number of satellites used and the
current PDOP value.
If SBAS is used, the screen also shows the position status
(DGPS) and the age of corrections.
The unit used to express the current altitude (meters or
feet) depends on the region (language and country) you
selected in Start, Settings, System, Regional Settings.
• The Satellites tab displays a polar diagram showing the
locations in the sky of the tracked satellites. Different
colors are used to display the numbers of the visible
satellites:
– Yellow characters: GPS satellites used
– Grey characters: Visible SBAS satellites. Also rejected
GPS satellites, because unhealthy or under the
elevation mask.
• The Signal tab shows the signal level for each of the
tracked satellites:
– Dark blue bars for all GPS satellites used
– Red bars for all SBAS satellites used
– Grey bars for all tracked, but not used, GPS satellites
GPS satellites are numbered from 1 to 32 and SBAS
satellites from 120 to 138.
Reset •Open the GNSS Toolbox and tap on Reset. A message then
asks you if you want to reset the receiver now. Use this
option only if you think the receiver is not working
properly.
Using this function results in a cold reset of the receiver.
Through a cold reset, all the GNSS settings, including
almanac data, are cleared making it necessary for you to
restore each of them manually. A few minutes are needed
after a cold reset before the receiver is back to work.
Using the Reset function is recommended when only the
GNSS Toolbox (and not other field software) is running on
the platform.
About This function provides the software version of GNSS Toolbox,
followed by the Ashtech legal line.
