Configuring the receiver to log data for postprocessing
The receivers do not come equipped with the Data Logging option. The receivers can
have this added either at the time of purchase, or at a later date as an option. With the
Data Logging option enabled, the receiver has available memory that facilitates the
collection of GPS observations over a period of time, and that can be used with GPS
postprocessing software such as the Trimble Geomatics Office
™ for the computation
of control networks and baselines.
Note – Version 2.30 and later of the SCS900 software supports the recording of raw GPS
data in the SPS receivers when the Data Logging option is installed in the receiver. For
information on how to initiate recording in the SPS receivers from SCS900, refer to the
SCS900 Precision GPS User Guide.
Configuring the receiver to use specific settings when it is
turned on
The power up application file (Power_up.cfg) is used to set the receiver to a specific
configuration any time the unit is powered up.
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 resets it to factory
defaults prior to applying the power up application file.
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. To use a power up
application file, you must create and save a power_up application file in the GPS
Configurator software. If you save this file to disk, the file is called power_up.cfg. The
extension .cfg is used, by convention, to identify application files on the office
computer. When you transfer this file to the receiver, the file is saved on the receiver as
power_up, and becomes the new power up file.
