5700 GPS Receiver Operation
Note – If the receiver is logging continuously, the current logging takes
precedence over any timed application file stored in the receiver.
Defining timed application files
To send timed application files to a 5700 receiver, set up scheduled
survey sessions in the GPS Configurator software. You can define
multiple sessions, each specifying:
• basic logging parameters (data logging rate, position logging
rate, and elevation mask)
• a starting time
• a duration
When you apply the current settings in the GPS Configurator software,
each defined survey session is sent to the 5700 receiver as a pair of
timed application files: the first includes the logging settings and start
time, and the second contains settings that stop logging at the end time
(which is calculated automatically from the duration you specify).
For more information on scheduled survey sessions, refer to the GPS
Configurator Help.
The 5700 receiver can store up to 20 application files, so you can define
a maximum of 10 scheduled survey sessions (10 pairs of start/stop
timed application files).
Sleep mode
Whenever you press
[P] to turn off the 5700 receiver, it checks for a
timed application file that is due to be activated in the future. If one
exists, the receiver goes into Sleep mode instead of powering down.
In Sleep mode, the yellow Logging/Memory LED flashes every three
seconds. The receiver wakes up five minutes before the scheduled
activation time, so that it is ready to begin logging at the scheduled
time.
