ation
Note – If power is lost, or the CompactFlash card is removed while logging,
the file system is designed so that a maximum of ten seconds of data will
be lost, regardless of the logging rate. To ensure that this behavior occurs,
use the GPS Configurator software to perform a quick format of the
CompactFlash card before logging data to the card for the first time.
44.2
Logging to a Trimble controller
When the 5700 receiver is connected to a Trimble controller, you can
log GPS data from the receiver to the controller, or to a PC card inserted
in the controller. When you use a Trimble controller, you do not use the
receiver’s controls. Instead, you use the controller functions to set
logging options, specify filenames, and to control when logging occurs.
Data is stored in job files, which can be transferred to your office
computer using Trimble’s Data Transfer utility.
For more information on logging data from a receiver using a Trimble
controller refer, to the user guide for your particular controller.

Resetting to Defaults
C
WARNING – Make sure that you do not hold down [P] for more than 30
seconds. After 30 seconds, any application files stored in the receiver are
deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.
To reset the 5700 receiver to its factory default settings, hold down [P]
for at least 15 seconds.
Resetting the receiver to its factory defaults also deletes any ephemeris
file in the receiver.
For more information, see Chapter 9, Default Settings.
