Using the GNSS Receiver 5
Starting the GNSS field software
Do one of the following:
• From the Home screen, tap the GeoXH (or GeoXT) item, then tap the GNSS
Application Launcher item to launch the default GNSS field application.
• Tap / Programs and then select the GNSS field software, for
example TerraSync.
When you first open any Trimble GNSS field software, the Skyplot section is displayed.
Viewing available GNSS satellites
Use the graphical Skyplot section or the Satellite Info
section in the installed Trimble GNSS field software to
view detailed GPS and GLONASS information.
Note – To receive signals from GNSS satellites, the
handheld must have a clear view of the sky. GNSS positions
may not always be available, particularly in or near
buildings, in vehicles, or under tree canopy.
Filled (black) boxes represent satellites that the receiver
is using to compute its current GNSS position. Unfilled
(white) boxes represent satellites that the receiver is
getting signals from but is not using because the signals
are too weak. In the example shown here, eight satellites are being tracked and seven of
these satellites are being used to compute GNSS positions.
Note – Numbers with no box represent satellites that are available, but that the TerraSync
software is not receiving signals from. Satellites that have an "R" prefix are GLONASS
satellites. GLONASS satellites appear only if the receiver has the Trimble Floodlight
satellite shadow reduction technology option activated. For more information, see
Activating the Floodlight technology and the NMEA output options.
Your current GNSS position is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
B
Tip – For detailed information on satellite positions and signal strengths, use the Satellite
information screen in the Status section.
Resetting the GNSS receiver
Trimble GNSS field applications all have options to reset the receiver to:
• delete the almanac
• delete information stored on the last known position
• restart the receiver
• reset the GNSS receiver to factory default settings
