imble R7 Operation
The 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 Trimble R7, 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.

Applying application files
An application file’s settings do not affect the receiver’s configuration
until you apply the application file. You can do this at the same time
that you save the file. Alternatively, save the file on the computer or in
the receiver, then open it later and apply its settings.
Note – If the application file is a timed file, its settings do not take
effect as soon as you apply the file, but at the time that the file specifies
for its activation.
54.4
Storing application files
You can store application files that you create in GPS Configurator on
the receiver and on the computer. For example, each file can represent
a different user sharing the same receiver, or a particular mode of
operation or survey style. Saving application files on your computer as
well as in your receiver is optional, but it is useful because:
• it gives you a permanent copy of the settings you have sent to a
receiver, for audit or your own reference.
