5700 Operation
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 GPS Configurator to perform a quick format of
the CompactFlash card before logging data to the card for the first
time.
3.5.2 Logging to Trimble Survey Controller
When the 5700 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.

 for at least 15 seconds.

Warning – Make sure that you do not hold down  for more than 30
seconds. After 30 seconds, any application files stored in the receiver are
deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.
Resetting the receiver to its factory defaults also deletes any ephemeris
file in the receiver.
For more information, see Chapter 8, Default Settings.
