Activating a CenterPoint RTX Subscription
After you have purchased a CenterPoint RTX subscription,
Trimble Positioning Services will email you an activation
code.
Use the same procedure as the one used to install a firmware
option (see page 89; the available RTX subscriptions are
listed as firmware options). The only difference is that no
POPN is provided for this procedure. Just enter the code
provided by Trimble Positioning Services and specify the type
of subscription you purchased before you click Update.
Reading Receiver Warranty Expiration Date
SP Loader can be used to query the Spectra Precision
database for the warranty expiration date of your GNSS
receiver. (After a receiver warranty has expired, remember
receiver firmware upgrades are no longer free of charge.)
You don’t need to have your receiver connected to SP Loader
to read its warranty expiration date. Just enter its type and
serial number and SP Loader will return this information to
you, provided there is an active Internet connection on your
computer, and your receiver is known to the database.
•Run SP Loader on your computer.
• Click on Warranty
• Select the type of your receiver and enter its serial number
• Click on Compute. SP Loader returns the warranty
expiration date in a field underneath the Compute button.
Additionally, SP Loader generates a proprietary command
that you can run in your receiver if you want to be sure
your receiver has the correct warranty expiration date in
memory. Carefully write down this command
Use Terminal Window in Survey Pro, or GPS Utility > Send
Command in FAST Survey to apply this command to the
receiver.
NOTE: When upgrading the receiver firmware using a
computer with an Internet connection, be aware SP Loader
will at the same time automatically check the warranty
expiration date of your receiver. SP Loader will ask you if it
can update this date if it is found wrong.
