By default, each battery LED indicates the status of the external power source on the corresponding port. If no external source is detected, each LED indicates the status of an internal battery. The color of the LED indicates whether the power source is currently in use (green) or is on standby (yellow).
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 4 44.1 General Operation Logging internally The 5700 receiver logs GPS data internally on a CompactFlash card. You can then use the Trimble Data Transfer utility to transfer logged data files to your office computer. The transferred files are in Trimble DAT (.dat) format. C WARNING – The 5700 receiver allows for a maximum of 512 files on the CompactFlash card, regardless of the card’s capacity. The file names must be in 8.
4 Note – If power is lost, or the CompactFlash card is removed while logging, the file system is designed so that a maximum of ten seconds of data will be lost, regardless of the logging rate. To ensure that this behavior occurs, use the GPS Configurator software to perform a quick format of the CompactFlash card before logging data to the card for the first time. 44.
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 4 4.6 General Operation Formatting a CompactFlash Card C WARNING – Formatting a CompactFlash card while it is in the receiver deletes all the data files on the card and all the application files in the receiver. To format a CompactFlash card for use in a 5700 receiver, insert the card in the CompactFlash port, then hold down [P] for at least 30 seconds. After 15 seconds, the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, and any ephemeris file is deleted.
4 when power was lost. For example, if the receiver was logging data, the data file is not corrupted, and when power is restored the receiver resumes logging with the same settings as before. The power supply that comes with the 5700 receiver charges the internal batteries while they are still in the receiver. To do this, connect the power supply to the power/serial data cable, connect the cable to Port 2 on the receiver and then connect the power supply to an AC power source, as shown in Figure 4.2.
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 4 47.1 General Operation Batteries 5700 GPS receivers use rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries. 44 C WARNING – Do not damage the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.

CHAPTER 5 Configuration 5 In this chapter: 5.1 Q Introduction Q Configuring the Receiver in Real Time Q Configuring the Receiver Using Application Files Q Application Files Introduction The 5700 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be configured using external software such as the GPS Configurator, or Trimble Survey Controller software.
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 5 5.2 Configuration Configuring the Receiver in Real Time The GPS Configurator, and the Trimble Survey Controller software both support real-time configuration of the 5700 receiver. When you configure the receiver in real time, you use one of these software applications to specify which settings you want to change. When you apply the changes, the receiver settings change immediately.
• Serial Port Baud/Format • Reference Position • Logging Rate • SV Enable/Disable • Output Message • Antenna • Device Control • Static/Kinematic • Input Message • Timed Activation 5 5700 GPS Receiver Operation Configuration An application file does not have to contain all of these records. When you apply an application file, any option that is not included in the records in the file remains at its current setting.
5 Configuration 5700 GPS Receiver Operation For more information on the default receiver settings, see Default Settings, page 78. Although you cannot change or delete the default application file, you can use a power up application file to override any or all of the default settings. Current application file The current application file (Current.cfg) reflects the current receiver configuration.
5 In this file, you can specify that the receiver is reset to defaults before the power up settings are applied. This ensures that restarting the receiver always results in the same configuration. This method is useful for defining “default” settings for the receiver that differ from those in the default file, which cannot be changed. Alternatively, you can specify that the power up settings are applied immediately after the current application file’s settings have been applied.
5 Configuration 5700 GPS Receiver Operation Note – If the receiver is logging continuously, the current logging takes precedence over any timed application file stored in the receiver. Defining timed application files To send timed application files to a 5700 receiver, set up scheduled survey sessions in the GPS Configurator software.
54.3 5 Applying application files An application file’s settings do not affect the receiver’s configuration until you apply the application file. You can do this at the same time that you save the file. Alternatively, save the file on the computer or in the receiver, then open it later and apply its settings. Note – If the application file is a timed file, its settings do not take effect as soon as you apply the file, but at the time that the file specifies for its activation. 54.

CHAPTER 11 Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output 11 In this chapter: 11.1 Q Introduction Q Event Marker Input Q 1PPS Output Introduction The 5700 receiver can accept event marker input on Port 1 and Port 2, and can generate 1PPS output on Port 2. 11.2 Event Marker Input Event marker input is used to log a precise GPS time tag whenever an externally generated pulse, such as one generated at the time of the shutter closing from a photogrammetric camera, is received.
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 11 Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output The event is triggered when the source pulse voltage transitions between 1.0 V DC and 2.0 V DC in less than 100 nsec. Trimble recommends that you use TTL level inputs. You can configure the receiver to recognize either a positive (rising) or negative ( falling) voltage as the leading edge of a pulse. The accuracy of the associated time tag recorded for an event is determined by the GPS accuracy (typically less than 1 µsec.).
11 GPS Configurator sends the new configuration information to the 5700 receiver, and the receiver starts to accept event marker input. 7. Click OK to exit GPS Configurator. The software disconnects from the 5700 receiver. 11.1 1PPS Output The 5700 receiver can output a one pulse per second (1PPS) time strobe with an associated ASCII time tag output. The pulse is output through Port 2 of the 5700 receiver using the event marker/1PPS cable. 111.
5700 GPS Receiver Operation 11 Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output The pulse is approximately 8 µsec wide, with rise and fall times of about 100 nsec. Resolution is approximately 40 nsec, but several external factors limit accuracy to approximately ±1 µsec: 111.2 • Position errors, especially with user-entered reference. Each meter of error can result in 3 nsec of error in the 1PPS pulse. • Antenna cable length.
Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output 11 5700 GPS Receiver Operation A typical printout looks like this: UTC 93.12.21 20:21:16 56 UTC 93.12.21 20:21:17 56 UTC 93.12.21 20:21:18 56 If a and b are ??, the time is based on the receiver clock because the receiver is not tracking satellites. The receiver clock is less accurate than time readings extracted from satellite signals. 111.3 Enabling and configuring 1PPS output To enable or configure the 1PPS output function, you need GPS Configurator.
11 Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output 5700 GPS Receiver Operation GPS Configurator sends the new configuration information to the 5700 receiver, and the receiver starts to generate 1PPS output on Port 2. 8. Click OK to exit GPS Configurator. The software disconnects from the 5700 receiver.

APPENDIX C Troubleshooting In this chapter: Q LED conditions Q Receiver issues 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 17 9 C
C Troubleshooting An LED that is flashing quickly indicates a condition that may require attention, and an unlit LED indicates that no operation is occurring. Table C.1 describes some LED conditions, possible causes, and how to solve them. Table C.1 LED conditions Condition Possible cause Solution The SV Tracking LED is lit solidly and the Logging/Memory LED is flashing slowly. (5700 receiver only) The receiver is in Monitor mode, ready for new firmware to be loaded or new options to be added.
Troubleshooting C Table C.2 describes some possible receiver issues, possible causes, and how to solve them. Table C.2 Receiver issues Issue Possible cause Solution The receiver does not power up. External power is too low. Check the charge on the external battery, and check the fuse if applicable. Replace the battery if necessary. Internal power is too low. Check the charge on the internal batteries and replace if necessary. Ensure battery contacts are clean.
C Troubleshooting Table C.2 Receiver issues (Continued) Issue Possible cause Solution The receiver is not responding. Receiver needs soft reset. Power down the receiver and power back up. Receiver needs full reset. If you want to retain data files, remove the CompactFlash card first. Hold down [P] for 30 seconds. Port settings between reference receiver and radio are incorrect. Using the Trimble Survey Controller software, connect to the reference radio through the receiver.
Troubleshooting Receiver issues (Continued) Issue Possible cause Solution Roving receiver is not receiving radio. Reference receiver is not broadcasting. See page 182. Incorrect over air baud rates Connect to the roving receiver’s radio between reference and rover. and check to ensure it has the same setting as the reference receiver. Incorrect port settings between roving external radio and receiver.
