See “FN Key Mode parameter” on page 2-23 for information on setting FN key modes.• Pressing the FN key for less than one second switches the receiver between different information modes (normal and extended information), or between static and dynamic post-processing modes, depending on the receiver's configuration. During the first second of pressing the FN key, the REC LED is orange.• Pressing and holding the FN key for more than one and less than five seconds will start/stop data recording. During data recording the REC LED is green. If the REC LED is red, the receiver has run out of memory, has a hardware problem, or contains an improper OAF (see “Option Authorization File (OAF)” on page 1-16 for more information on OAFs).• The REC LED blinks green each time data is written to the internal receiver’s memory. You set the data recording time interval using PC-CDU. See “Recording Interval parameter” on page 2-20 for information on setting this function. HiPerXT_om.book Page 3 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM
OperationHiPer XT Operator’s Manual4-4Each time you turn off or on data recording, either a new file opens or data appends to a particular file. See “Always Append to the File parameter” on page 2-21 and “Files Creation Mode parameter” on page 2-21 for information on setting this function.• Pressing and holding the FN key for more than five and less than eight seconds will turn the baud rate of serial port A to 9600. After about five seconds of pressing the FN key, the REC LED becomes red. Release the FN key while the REC LED is red (during the next three seconds). Pressing and holding the FN key for more than eight seconds has no impact.• After loading new firmware or clearing the receiver’s NVRAM, the receiver checks its internal file system. During this operation, the REC LED flashes orange, and the file system is not accessible for CDU (control display unit) applications or for data recording. This operation may require from fractions of a second to several minutes, depending on the circumstances and the amount of internal memory. HiPerXT_om.book Page 4 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM

This mode allows the operator to send/query commands to/from the modem.• Solid Green – the modem is in receiver mode.• Solid Orange (Red and Green) – the modem is receiving data.• Red flashes – a fault condition has been detected. Check the condition of the radio modem’s antenna to ensure it is undamaged, and is connected properly and securely. Also make sure that there are no conduction objects near the antenna location.For the GSM modem:• Solid Orange (Red and Green) – the modem is initializing.• Green flashes – the modem is on, registered on the network, and is waiting for incoming calls (Slave mode).• Solid Red – a connection has been established.• Green flashes – the modem is in direct control mode (Daisy Chain).• Orange flashes – an error has occurred (initialization error, wrong PIN code, etc.).HiPerXT_om.book Page 8 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM
Using the MINTERP/N 7010-0713 4-9Information ModesThe receiver has two information modes: Normal and Extended Information Mode (EIM).NormalIn normal mode, the STAT LED indicates the number of tracked satellites and the position’s computation status.Extended Information Mode (EIM)Extended Information Mode (EIM) is used for receiver testing purposes. In this mode, the receiver continues to work as usual, but the STAT LED indicates “extended” information using a delimiter.The Delimiter is a distinguishable double-blink that shows the overall status of tests performed in EIM. The LED color for delimiter is calculated from the colors of other LED blinks, and will be one of the following colors when the tests complete:• Orange – at least one blink is orange. • Red – no orange blink and at least one red blink. • Green – all other cases.The delimiter double-blink is followed by six LED blinks corresponding to six receiver tests, where each blink indicates the following information:Blink 1. Sufficient data for position computation.Blink 2. GPS S/N ratios are good (Table 4-2 on page 4-10).Blink 3. GLONASS S/N ratios are good (Table 4-2 on page 4-10).Blink 4. Oscillator’s frequency offset is less than three ppm.Blink 5. Oscillator's Allan Variance is better than 2.7e-10.Blink 6. Continuous tracking time is more than 15 minutes.HiPerXT_om.book Page 9 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM
OperationHiPer XT Operator’s Manual4-10 The color of the blink indicates that information for test is unavailable (orange), the receiver passed the test (green), or the receiver failed the test (red).1. To switch to EIM, press and quickly release (within one second) the FN key on the MINTER. 2. Watch for the delimiter double-blink. With good receiver, antenna, and observation conditions, all blinks should be green within 15 minutes of powering on.• Green – ok• Orange – wait• Red – some tests failed3. To switch back to normal mode, press the FN key. Downloading Files to a ComputerWhen your survey finishes, you can download survey files to a computer for storage, post-processing, or backup. Also, the receiver memory holds a finite amount of files and information, so downloading the files prevents files from being lost.You should download files as soon as possible after collecting data at the jobsite. PC-CDU provides a File Manager to download files to your computer and delete files from the receiver.1. Connect your receiver and computer. See “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer” on page 2-10 for this procedure.Table 4-2.

Managing Receiver MemoryP/N 7010-0713 4-17Managing Receiver MemoryWhen using the receiver in static or dynamic applications, you may need to know the amount of memory the receiver’s log file occupies. The specific memory size depends on the type of data being recorded. Use the formulas below to compute the approximate size of the receiver’s log files. These equations are based on the default set of messages.• SS – the estimated size of one epoch of raw data in the receiver’s log file (expressed in bytes).• N – the number of observed satellites per epoch.When recording only L1 data: SS = 183 + 22*NWhen recording L1 and L2 data: SS = 230 + 44*NClearing the NVRAMThe receiver’s Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) holds data required for satellite tracking, such as ephemeris data and receiver position. The NVRAM also keeps the current receiver’s settings, such as active antenna input, elevation masks and recording interval, and information about the receiver’s internal file system. Even though clearing the NVRAM is not a common (nor normally a recommended) operation, there are times when clearing the NVRAM can eliminate communication or tracking problems. Clearing the NVRAM in your receiver can be interpreted as a “soft boot” in your computer. After clearing the NVRAM, your receiver will require some time to collect new ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).Clearing the NVRAM of your receiver will not delete any files already recorded in your HiPer XT’s memory. However, it will reset your receiver to factory default values.HiPerXT_om.book Page 17 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM
OperationHiPer XT Operator’s Manual4-18In addition, the NVRAM keeps information about the receiver file system. Note that after clearing the NVRAM, the receiver's STAT LED will flash orange for a few seconds indicating that the receiver is scanning and checking the file system. Using MINTER to Clear NVRAM1. Press the power key to turn off the receiver.2. Press and hold the FN key.3. Press and hold the power key for about one second. Release the power key while continuing to hold the FN key.4.

P/N 7010-0713Appendix CC-1UHF Radio UsageNOTICENOTICEMany countries require a license for radio users (such as the United States). Be sure you comply with all local laws while operating a UHF radio.Surveying in RTK mode has made UHF the most popular choice for communications between Base and Rover receivers. Know the strengths and weaknesses of this technology to get the best use out of your receiver.The quality and strength of the UHF signals translates into range for UHF communications.1. The system’s range will greatly depend on the local conditions.Topography, local communications and even meteorological conditions play a major role in the possible range of RTK communications. If needed, use a scanner to find clear channels for communication.2. Your system’s range will increase by adjusting the antenna of your Base station in one of the following ways. • Ensure the Base radio has a fully charged battery.• Use directional antennas and/or repeaters to increase your system’s range. Directional antennas concentrate the signal power within a more narrow direction, significantly increasing the range of your system. • Check out the TPS accessory line for various items to raise your Base radio.HiPerXT_om.book Page 1 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM
