By default, there is no Power Up application file on the receiver. If
you want to use a Power Up application file, you need to create an
application file in the Configuration Toolbox software and make sure
that the As auto power up file option is selected in the File page. When
you transfer this file to the receiver, it is transferred with the name
Power_up.cfg, and becomes the new Power Up file.

The Power Up file is the only special application file that you can
overwrite or delete from the receiver.

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.

Defining timed application files

To send timed application files to a 5700 receiver, set up scheduled
survey sessions in the GPS Configurator software. You can define
multiple sessions, each specifying:

basic logging parameters (data logging rate, position logging
rate, and elevation mask)

a starting time

a duration
