Timed application files
A timed application file contains a Timed Activation record which
specifies when this file is to be applied. The main use of a timed
application file is to automatically start or stop logging at a predefined
time.
The Timed Activation record specifies:
• the UTC date and time when the application file is to be applied
for the first time
• the interval at which the file is to be reapplied
If you do not specify a repeat interval, the settings are applied only
once, at the specified time. If the file specifies a repeat interval, the
file’s settings are reapplied at the specified interval until the file is
deactivated.
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 Trimble R7, set up scheduled
survey sessions in GPS Configurator. 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 GPS Configurator, each
defined survey session is sent to the Trimble R7 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.
