Introduction
The 5700 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be
configured using external software such as the GPS Configurator
software, the Configuration Toolbox™ software, or the Trimble
Survey Controller software.
There are two ways to configure the 5700 receiver:
• Configuring the receiver in real time
• Applying the settings in an application file
This chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods, and
detailed information about the contents and use of application files.
4.2
Configuring the Receiver in Real Time
The GPS Configurator software, the Configuration Toolbox software,
and the Trimble Survey Controller software all support real-time
configuration of the 5700 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 6, Software Utilities.
