P/N 7010-0713 4-1 HiPerXT_om.book Page 2 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Operation Using the MINTER The MINTER (Figure 4-1) is Topcon’s Minimum INTERface used to display and control data input and output, and is the same for all HiPer family receivers. Power Button Reset STAT (status LED) REC (recording LED) FN (function/recording button) BATT (battery LED) RX (modem status LED) Figure 4-1. MINTER Power Key Pressing the power key turns the receiver on and off. Status LED • When the receiver is on and no satellites are tracked, the STAT LED will blink red. • When satellites are tracked, the STAT LED will produce one blink for each tracked satellite (green for GPS, orange for GLONASS). 4-2 HiPer XT Operator’s Manual HiPerXT_om.book Page 3 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Using the MINTER Reset Key Pressing and holding the reset key for about one second causes: • a hard reset of the receiver. • the receiver to leave Zero Power Mode and return to Normal Mode. NOTICE NOTICE Only use this procedure if the receiver does not respond to commands or does not charge the internal batteries (is in Zero Power Mode). FN Key and Record LED Table 4-1 on page 4-5 summarizes FN key functions and REC LED statuses. 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 postprocessing 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. P/N 7010-0713 4-3 HiPerXT_om.book Page 4 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Operation Each 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. 4-4 HiPer XT Operator’s Manual HiPerXT_om.book Page 5 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Using the MINTER Table 4-1.

The pattern of blinks of the BATT LED also indicates the source of power. • Solid light – an external power supply is used and the batteries are not being charged. • Blinking once a second – the batteries are being charged. • Blinking once every five seconds – the HiPer XT uses the internal batteries for power. • Not blinking – the receiver is in Zero Power Mode or the internal batteries are completely discharged and no external power is connected. NOTICE NOTICE When the internal batteries have completely discharged and no external power is connected, the receiver will go into Zero Power Mode to prevent the batteries from over discharging. P/N 7010-0713 4-7 HiPerXT_om.book Page 8 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Operation Modem LED The color of the TX/RX modem LED indicates if the modem has power, is receiving signals, or is turned off. For the UHF modem: • No light – modem is turned off • Solid Red – the modem is in transmitter mode; the modem is transmitting data. • Red flashes plus Green flashes – the modem is in command mode. 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.). 4-8 HiPer XT Operator’s Manual HiPerXT_om.book Page 9 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Using the MINTER Information Modes The receiver has two information modes: Normal and Extended Information Mode (EIM). Normal In 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 410). 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.

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*N When recording L1 and L2 data: SS = 230 + 44*N Clearing the NVRAM The 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. P/N 7010-0713 4-17 HiPerXT_om.book Page 18 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Operation In 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 NVRAM 1. 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. Wait until the STAT and REC LEDs are green 5. Wait until the STAT and REC LEDs blink orange. 6. Release the FN key while the STAT and REC LEDs blink orange. Using PC-CDU to Clear NVRAM 1. Connect your receiver and computer. See “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer” on page 2-10 for this procedure. 2. Click Tools Clear NVRAM (Figure 4-11). The REC LED flashes green and red; the STAT LED flashes red. Figure 4-11. Clear NVRAM with PC-CDU The receiver automatically disconnects when finished. Changing Receiver Modes The HiPer XT receiver has four modes, two information modes and two power modes: 4-18 HiPer XT Operator’s Manual HiPerXT_om.book Page 19 Monday, April 25, 2005 5:21 PM Changing Receiver Modes • Normal Mode • Extended Information Mode • Sleep Mode • Zero Power Mode See “Information Modes” on page 4-9 for a description of Normal Mode and Extended Information Mode. Sleep Mode In sleep mode, the power board and Bluetooth module will continue to draw power from the batteries, causing the batteries to drain over time.

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.
