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 the GPS Configurator
software on both your receiver and computer. Each file can, for
example, 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
• you can use the same file to configure multiple receivers
identically
• you can use an existing application file as a template for creating
other application files with similar settings
54.5
Naming application files
The filename that you use to store the application file in the computer
and the name under which the file is stored in the receiver are always
the same. This makes recognizing and keeping track of your
application files easier. If you change the name of the file on the
receiver, this changes the filename used to store the application file on
your computer. Similarly, if you change the filename on the computer,
the name of the file in the receiver will change.
