5700 GPS Receiver Oper

ation

In this file, you can specify that the receiver is reset to defaults before
the power up settings are applied. This ensures that restarting the
receiver always results in the same configuration. This method is useful
for defining “default” settings for the receiver that differ from those in
the default file, which cannot be changed.

Alternatively, you can specify that the power up settings are applied
immediately after the current application file’s settings have been
applied. Restarting the receiver results in a configuration that uses your
default settings for the options you define in the power up file, but the
current settings for all other options.

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 GPS Configurator 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.
