5. Configuring the Receiver
The receiver has numerous
parameters and functions which can
be configured by the user.
Different Configuration Sets are used
for different measuring techniques.
Several default Configuration Sets
are programmed into the receiver
before delivery. These default files
should cover the majority of
applications.
However, you also have the
opportunity to define your own
Configuration Sets. You may define
several Configuration Sets to cover
every type of operation that you are
likely to carry out. This can be done
using the TR500 Terminal.
There are two methods for defining
the Configuration. You can select
Configure from the Main Menu or
press the CONFIG key.
Selecting Configure from the Main
Menu enables a sequential
configuration.
Parameters can either
be defined one after each other or
explicitly selected from a list. These
parameters are saved permanently in
the Configuration Set and will be used
as defaults each time the
Configuration Set is used.
Pressing the CONFIG key enters a
menu from which you can choose the
parameter you wish to define. Certain
infrequently used parameters are only
available through the CONFIG key
and are not contained in the
sequential configuration.
It is recommended that the CONFIG
key is only used when you are already
measuring and realize that you need
to change a parameter temporarily
(for the duration of the current
survey), or need to configure a
parameter not contained in the
sequential configuration.
When Configure is selected from the
Main Menu there are two
configuration levels available,
Standard and Advanced. Standard
is recommended for most users.
Advanced enables definition of
parameters required for specialized
applications.
To start defining a Configuration Set,
attach the Terminal to the Receiver
directly or connect it using a Lemo
cable.
Switch on the Receiver and Terminal
by pressing the ON/OFF key.
