Configuring the Receiver Settings 6
Configuring the receiver to log data for postprocessing
The SPS GPS receivers do not come equipped with the Data Logging option. The
receivers can have this added either at the time of purchase, or at a later date as an
option. With the Data Logging option enabled, the receiver has available memory that
facilitates the collection of GPS observations over a period of time, and that can be
used with GPS postprocessing software such as the Trimble Geomatics Office
™
for the
computation of control networks and baselines.
Note – The SCS900 system does not support postprocessed applications. Trimble
recommends that you use either the front panel keypad and display, the Web User
Interface, or (SPS770, SPSx80 only) the GPS Configurator software to configure the receiver
for postprocessed measurement sessions.
Configuring the receiver in real time
The SPS770 and SPSx80 receivers can be configured in real time by the GPS
Configurator software.
When you configure the receiver in real time, you use the software to specify which
settings you want to change. When you apply the changes, the receiver settings change
immediately.
Any changes that you apply to the receiver are reflected in the current application file,
which is always present in the receiver. The current application file always records the
most recent configuration, so if you apply further changes (either in real time or using
an application file) the current file is updated and there is no record of the changes that
you applied originally.
Configuring the receiver using application files
An application file contains information for configuring a receiver. To configure a
receiver using an application file, you need to create the application file, transfer it to
the receiver and then apply the file’s settings. The GPS Configurator software does this
automatically when you work with configuration files.
Overview
An application file is organized into records. Each record stores configuration
information for a particular area of receiver operation. Application files can include the
following records:
• File Storage
• General Controls
• Serial Port Baud Rate/Format
• Reference Position
