Trimble R7 GPS Receiver Operation
When you apply the current settings in the GPS Configurator software,
each defined survey session is sent to the Trimble R7 receiver as a pair
of timed application files: the first includes the logging settings and
start time, and the second contains settings that stop logging at the end
time (which is calculated automatically from the duration you specify).
For more information on scheduled survey sessions, refer to the GPS
Configurator Help.
The receiver can store up to 20 application files, so you can define a
maximum of 10 scheduled survey sessions (10 pairs of start/stop timed
application files).
Sleep mode
Whenever you press [P] to turn off the Trimble R7 receiver, the receiver
checks for a timed application file that is due to be activated in the
future. If one exists, the receiver goes into Sleep mode instead of
turning off.
In Sleep mode, the yellow Logging/Memory LED flashes every three
seconds. The receiver wakes up five minutes before the scheduled
activation time, so that it is ready to begin logging at the scheduled
time.
53.3 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.
