5.2 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.
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.
For more information on configuring the receiver in real time, see
Chapter 7, Software Utilities.
5.3 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. Use the GPS Configurator software to perform all these tasks.
For more information on applying application files, see Chapter 7,
Software Utilities.
5.4 Application Files
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
