5700 GPS Receiver Operation
This chapter introduces the 5700 receiver, which is designed for GPS
surveying applications. The receiver features one-touch logging for ease
of use, and five LEDs that let you monitor the survey in progress and
the available battery capacity.
The 5700 receiver tracks GPS satellites on both the L1 and L2
frequencies to provide precise position data for land survey
applications. The receiver records GPS data on an internal
CompactFlash card and makes all data available through serial or USB
ports.
You can use the 5700 receiver alone by logging data internally, or as part
of the GPS Total Station
®
5700 system, which logs GPS data from the
5700 receiver to a Trimble controller running the Trimble Survey
Controller™ or Trimble Survey Pro™ software.
