You can configure the Smart GPS antennas in a
variety of ways. This chapter describes the
different configuration methods, and explains
when and why each method is used.
The Smart GPS antenna has no controls for
changing settings. To configure these receivers:
• In real time, use external software such as
the HYDROpro
™
software, or the GPS
Configurator or WinFlash utility.
• In an application file, use the Configuration
Toolbox utility.
The SCS900 Site Controller software is likely to be
your main tool to set up and operate the receiver
on a daily basis. All necessary field configurations
are handled through the SCS900 software
running on a TSC2 or TCU controller. For more
information, refer to the Trimble SCS900 Site
Controller Software Getting Started Guide or the
Trimble SCS900 Site Controller Software Office
Guide.
The external software detailed in this chapter is
primarily used to update the receiver firmware
and to configure upgrades or radio channels.
