13.5Logging Data
As the 5800 receiver does not contain internal memory, you can only
log data to the data collector.
13.5.1 Logging to Trimble Survey Controller
When the 5800 receiver is connected to a data collector running
Trimble Survey Controller, you can log GPS data from the receiver to
the data collector, or to a PC card inserted in the data collector. When
you use Trimble Survey Controller, you do not use the receiver’s
controls. Instead, you use Trimble Survey Controller functions to set
logging options, specify filenames, and control when logging occurs.
Data is stored in job files, which can be transferred to your office
computer using Trimble’s Data Transfer utility.
For more information on logging data from a receiver using Trimble
Survey Controller, refer to the Trimble Survey Controller User Guide.
13.6Resetting to Defaults
To reset the 5800 receiver to its factory default settings, hold down
 for at least 15 seconds.
For more information, see Chapter 17, Default Settings.
13.7Batteries and Power
The 5800 receiver can be powered either by its internal battery or by
an external power source connected to Port 1. Typically, one internal
1.8 ampere-hour battery provides approximately 5.5 hours of
operation during an RTK survey using the internal radio.
