Trimble R8 Operation
apply an application file that only specifies the elevation mask to use,
all other settings remain as they were before the application file was
applied.
You can store up to twenty different application files in the receiver.
You can apply an application file’s settings at the time it is transferred
to the receiver, or at any time afterwards.
154.1 Special application files
The Trimble R8 receiver has three special application files, which
control important aspects of the receiver’s configuration.
Default application file
The default application file (Default.cfg) contains the original receiver
configuration, and cannot be changed. This file configures the receiver
after it is reset. You can reset the receiver by holding down p for at
least 15 seconds, or by using the reset option in GPS Configurator.
For more information on the default receiver settings, see Default
Settings, page 159.
Although you cannot change or delete the default application file, you
can use a power up application file to override any or all of the default
settings.
Current application file
The current application file (Current.cfg) reflects the current receiver
configuration. Whenever you change the receiver’s configuration,
either in real time or by applying an application file, the current file
changes to match the new configuration.
You cannot delete the current file or change it directly, but every
change to the receiver’s current configuration is applied to the current
file as well.
