Using the GNSS Receiver 5
To set up an external correction source—such as a GeoBeacon receiver or a DGNSS
radio—in the Trimble GNSS field software:
1. In the Setup section of the GNSS software, tap
Real-time Settings. The Real-time Settings form
appears.
2. In the Choice 1 field, select External Source.
3. Tap the
Setup button next to the Choice 1
field.
4. In the Connection Method field, select Serial Port.
5. In the Port field, select the COM port to use. If you
are using:
– the USB to serial converter, select COM 1.
– a Bluetooth wireless connection, select the
COM port you configured for the Bluetooth connection in the COM Ports
tab of the Bluetooth manager.
6. Tap
Done.
To set up an external correction source for use with non-Trimble GNSS field software:
1. In the Trimble GPS Controller software, configure the GNSS receiver to use
real-time corrections on COM4. For more information, see the steps above.
Note – You must first install the GPS Controller software. See GPS Controller software,
page 62 for details.
2. In the GNSS Connector software, manually redirect the real-time correction
source to COM4 by tapping
Setup then select the real-time source from the
drop down list.
Note – You must first install the GNSS Connector software. See GNSS Connector software,
page 63 for details.
3. Configure your data collection software to monitor and use real-time
corrections as required.
Note – To receive real-time corrections, the GNSS Connector software must remain
running on the handheld.
Using Smart Settings
Note – Trimble recommends that you use accuracy-based logging (see Accuracy settings
and using accuracy-based logging, page 68) and Smart Settings to control the quality of the
GNSS positions logged and let the TerraSync software manage the logging of positions
based on your required accuracy.
