Introduction
The Trimble R8 receiver has no controls for changing settings. To
configure the receiver, use external software such as GPS
Configurator, WinFlash, or Trimble Survey Controller.
There are two ways to configure the receiver. You can:
• configure the receiver in real time
• apply the settings in an application file
This chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods and
describes the contents and use of application files.
15.2
Configuring the Receiver in Real Time
GPS Configurator and Trimble Survey Controller support real-time
configuration of the Trimble R8 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 16, Software Utilities.
