CHAPTER11OverviewIn this chapter:IntroductionFeaturesUse and careCOCOM limits

1 Overview16 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation1.1 IntroductionThis chapter introduces the 5700 receiver, which is designed for GPS surveying applications. The receiver features one-touch logging for ease of use, and five LEDs that let you monitor the survey in progress and the available battery capacity.The 5700 receiver tracks GPS satellites on both the L1 and L2 frequencies to provide precise position data for land survey applications. The receiver records GPS data on an internal CompactFlash card and makes all data available through serial or USB ports.You can use the 5700 receiver alone, logging data internally, or as part of the GPS Total Station® 5700 system, which logs GPS data from the 5700 receiver to a Trimble data collector running the Trimble Survey Controller™ or Trimble Survey Pro™ software.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 17Overview 15700 Operation1.2 FeaturesThe receiver provides the following features:•Centimeter-accuracy real-time positioning with RTK/OTF data, and up to 10 Hz position updates•Submeter-accuracy real-time positioning using pseudorange corrections•Extended RTK (eRTK)•Adaptive dual-frequency RTK engine•WAAS capability•Automatic OTF (on-the-fly) initialization while moving•1PPS (One Pulse Per Second) output•Dual event-marker input•USB port for data transfer•Type I CompactFlash card for data storage•Internal charging of batteries (no external battery charger required)•Three RS-232 serial ports for:–NMEA output–RTCM SC-104 input and output–Trimble Format (CMR) input and output•Two TNC ports for connecting to a GPS or radio antenna

1 Overview18 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation1.3 Use and CareThe 5700 receiver is designed to withstand the rough treatment that typically occurs in the field. However, the receiver is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.Warning – Operating or storing the 5700 receiver outside the specified temperature range can damage it. For details, see Physical specifications, page 90.High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the receiver electronics from functioning correctly. Avoid using the receiver within 400 meters of powerful radar, television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those used in cellphones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with 5700 receiver operations.For more information, see the Trimble technical note Using Radio Communication Systems with GPS Surveying Receivers.1.4 COCOM LimitsThe U.S. Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GPS products contain performance limitations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten the security of the United States. The following limitations are implemented on the 5700 receiver.Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 53General Operation 35700 Operation3.5 Logging DataYou can log data to the CompactFlash card in the 5700 receiver, or alternatively to the survey device.3.5.1 Logging InternallyThe 5700 receiver logs GPS data internally on a CompactFlash card. You can then use the Trimble Data Transfer utility to transfer logged data files to your office computer. The transferred files are in Trimble DAT (.dat) format. Data is logged using the current logging settings configured in the receiver. Data files logged internally are named automatically. To begin internal logging, press . The Logging/Memory LED lights up.To stop logging, hold down  for at least two seconds. The Logging/Memory LED turns off.Note – When the CompactFlash card is full, the receiver stops logging data, and the Logging/Memory LED switches off. Existing data files are not overwritten.Approximate storage requirements for different logging rates are shown in Table 3.2. The values shown are for a one-hour logging session with six satellites visible. Table 3.2 Storage requirementsLogging rate Memory required10 Hz 2,588 KB1 Hz 335 KB5 seconds 87 KB15 seconds 37 KB

3 General Operation54 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 OperationNote – If power is lost, or the CompactFlash card is removed while logging, the file system is designed so that a maximum of ten seconds of data will be lost, regardless of the logging rate. To ensure that this behavior occurs, use GPS Configurator to perform a quick format of the CompactFlash card before logging data to the card for the first time.3.5.2 Logging to Trimble Survey ControllerWhen the 5700 receiver is connected to a data collector running Trimble Survey Controller, you can log GPS data from the receiver to the data collector, or to a PC card inserted in the data collector. When you use Trimble Survey Controller, you do not use the receiver’s controls. Instead, you use Trimble Survey Controller functions to set logging options, specify filenames, and control when logging occurs.Data is stored in job files, which can be transferred to your office computer using Trimble’s Data Transfer utility.For more information on logging data from a receiver using Trimble Survey Controller, refer to the Trimble Survey Controller User Guide.3.6 Resetting to DefaultsTo reset the 5700 receiver to its factory default settings, hold down  for at least 15 seconds.Warning – Make sure that you do not hold down  for more than 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, any application files stored in the receiver are deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.Resetting the receiver to its factory defaults also deletes any ephemeris file in the receiver.For more information, see Chapter 8, Default Settings.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 55General Operation 35700 Operation3.7 Formatting a CompactFlash CardTo format a CompactFlash card for use in a 5700 receiver, insert the card in the CompactFlash port, then hold down  for at least 30 seconds. After 15 seconds, the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, and any ephemeris file is deleted. After 30 seconds, any files stored on the card are deleted and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.Warning – Formatting a CompactFlash card while it is in the receiver deletes all the data files on the card and all the application files in the receiver.Note – When you use  to format the CompactFlash card, a quick format is performed. A quick format reformats the card for use with the 5700 receiver and deletes all data on the card. A full format checks the card for errors or bad sectors, and is only necessary if the card is corrupted. To perform a full format, use GPS Configurator. For more information, see GPS Configurator Software, page 78.3.8 Batteries and PowerThe 5700 receiver can be powered either by its two internal batteries or by an external power source connected to Port 2 or Port 3. The charge provided by the internal batteries depends on the type of survey and operating conditions. Typically, one battery provides about 3.5 hours of power during an RTK survey using the internal radio, and about 5 hours during a survey without the internal radio.The external power source is always used in preference to the internal batteries. When there is no external power source connected, or if the external power supply fails, the internal batteries are used. The internal batteries are drained in turn, and the receiver automatically switches to the full battery when the first battery is drained.

3 General Operation56 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 OperationIf no external power is supplied and both internal batteries are drained, none of the data that you have logged is lost. When internal or external power is restored, the receiver restarts in the same state as when power was lost. For example, if the receiver was logging data, the data file is not corrupted, and when power is restored the receiver resumes logging with the same settings as before.The power supply that is supplied with the 5700 receiver charges the receiver’s internal batteries while they are still in the receiver. To do this, connect the power supply to the power/serial data cable, connect the cable to Port 2 on the receiver, and connect the power supply to an AC power source, as shown in Figure 3.2 Figure 3.2 Charging the batteries23tPower/serial data cableTo AC power supply

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 57General Operation 35700 OperationThe two internal batteries take approximately eight hours to charge. They are charged individually, so each individual battery takes approximately 4 hours to charge.The internal batteries start charging whenever an external power supply of greater than 15 V is detected.Each 5700 receiver in your system is supplied with two internal lithium-ion battery packs. To charge both sets of batteries, connect both receivers to power supplies as shown in Figure 3.2.3.9 Battery charging and storageNote – All battery types will tend to discharge over time when they are not being used. Batteries will also discharge faster in colder temperatures. Any Lithium-Ion battery that is intended to be stored for long periods of time should be fully charged prior to storage and re-charged periodically, minimum of every 3 months.The 5700 system is designed to switch batteries or cease drawing power when the battery pack discharges to a certain voltage. This "cutoff" voltage protects the battery from deep discharge. The cutoff value is 5.9 volts, with the deep discharge voltage being 5 volts or less. A battery that has reached the deep discharge level cannot be recovered by 5700 internal charger or the Trimble external charger and will have to be replaced. The following recommendations will provide optimal performance and extend the life of your batteries.1. Fully charge all new batteries prior to use.2. Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 volts.3. Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use. Batteries may be kept on charge indefinitely without damage to the receiver or batteries.4. Batteries should not be stored in the receiver or external charger unless power is applied. 5. If you must store the batteries, charge fully prior to storage and periodically recharge all units in storage.

3 General Operation58 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation3.9.1 Operation with the TSC1/TSCe Data CollectorIf the 5700 receiver is being powered by its internal batteries, it does not supply power to the TSC1/TSCe data collector when they are connected. However, the TSC1/TSCe batteries and the 5700 receiver batteries can be charged at the same time from the same power supply. To charge both sets of batteries, use two standard power/serial data cables to connect the TSC1/TSCe data collector and the 5700 receiver to a power supply, as shown in Figure 3.3.Figure 3.3 Charging receiver and TSC1/TSCe batteries23tTo AC Power/serial data cablespower supply

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 59General Operation 35700 Operation3.9.2 Power OutputIf the receiver is being supplied with power from an external source, power is automatically output on Port 1. The output voltage is approximately 0.5 V less than the input voltage. Port 1 outputs a maximum voltage of 20 V, even if the input voltage is higher.You can use GPS Configurator or Trimble Survey Controller to enable power output on Port 3. Port 3 can be enabled for power output regardless of whether power is supplied internally or externally.On Port 3, the output voltage is approximately 0.5 V less than the input voltage. For example, if power is being supplied from the internal Lithium ion batteries, the maximum battery voltage is 8.4 V, so the maximum output voltage is 7.9 V.Note – When you start a survey using Trimble Survey Controller, and you are using an external radio, the software automatically enables power output on Port 3.3.9.3 FirmwareA receiver’s firmware is the program inside the receiver that makes the receiver run and controls the hardware. When you need to upgrade the firmware for your 5700 receiver, Trimble recommends that you use WinFLASH. For more information, see WinFLASH Software, page 83.Warning – Upgrading the firmware deletes all application files on the 5700 receiver.An alternative method of upgrading your firmware is to copy the .elf file directly to the CompactFlash card from your computer.To do this: 1. Connect the CompactFlash card to your desktop computer.2. Using Windows Explorer, copy the .elf file from your computer to the CompactFlash card.

3 General Operation60 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation3. Disconnect the CompactFlash card from your computer and insert it into the receiver.4. Turn the receiver off.5. Hold down  and press .The receiver starts up in Monitor mode, automatically detects the newer version of the firmware, and installs it. In Monitor mode, the red SV Tracking LED is lit solidly and the yellow Logging/Memory LED flashes slowly.The upgrade takes about two minutes. Once the upgrade procedure is complete, the receiver restarts automatically.

4 Configuration62 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation4.1 IntroductionThe 5700 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be configured using external software such as the GPS Configurator, Configuration Toolbox™, or Trimble Survey Controller software.There are two ways to configure the 5700 receiver:•Configuring the receiver in real time•Applying the settings in an application fileThis chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods, and describes the contents and use of application files.4.2 Configuring the Receiver in Real TimeThe GPS Configurator, Configuration Toolbox, and Trimble Survey Controller software all support real-time configuration of the 5700 receiver.When you configure the receiver in real time, you use one of these software applications to specify which settings you want to change. When you apply the changes, the receiver settings change immediately.Any changes that you apply to the receiver are reflected in the Current application file, which is always present in the receiver. The Current application file always records the most recent configuration, so if you apply further changes (either in real time or using an application file) the Current file is updated and there is no record of the changes that you applied originally.For more information on configuring the receiver in real time, see Chapter 6, Software Utilities.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 63Configuration 45700 Operation4.3 Configuring the Receiver Using Application FilesAn application file contains information for configuring a receiver. To configure a receiver using an application file, you need to create the application file, transfer it to the receiver, and then apply the file’s settings. Use the Configuration Toolbox software to perform all these tasks.For more information on applying application files, see Chapter 6, Software Utilities.4.4 Application FilesAn application file is organized into records. Each record stores configuration information for a particular area of receiver operation. Application files can include the following records:•File Storage•General Controls•Serial Port Baud/Format•Reference Position•Logging Rate•SV Enable/Disable•Output Message•Antenna•Device Control•Static/Kinematic•Input Message•Timed Activation

4 Configuration64 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 OperationAn application file does not have to contain all of these records. When you apply an application file, any option that is not included in the records in the file remains at its current setting. For example, if you apply an application file that only specifies the elevation mask to use, all other settings remain as they were before the application file was applied.You can store up to twenty different application files in battery-backed memory on the receiver. You can apply an application file’s settings at the time it is transferred to the receiver, or at any time afterwards.4.4.1 Special Application FilesThe 5700 receiver has three special application files, which control important aspects of the receiver’s configuration.Default application fileThe Default application file (Default.cfg) contains the original receiver configuration, and cannot be changed. This file configures the receiver after it is reset. You can reset the receiver by holding down  for at least 15 seconds, or by using the reset option in GPS Configurator.For more information on the default receiver settings, see Default Settings, page 95.Although you cannot change or delete the Default application file, you can use a Power Up application file to override any or all of the default settings.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 65Configuration 45700 OperationCurrent application fileThe Current application file (Current.cfg) reflects the current receiver configuration. Whenever you change the receiver’s configuration, either in real time or by applying an application file, the Current file changes to match the new configuration.You cannot delete the Current file or change it directly, but every change to the receiver’s current configuration is applied to the Current file as well.When you switch off the receiver then turn it on again, all the settings from the Current application file are applied, so you do not lose any changes that you have made. The only exceptions are the following logging parameters:•Logging rate•Position rate•Elevation maskThese parameters are always reset to the factory default values whenever the receiver is switched off.Power Up application fileThe Power Up application file (Power_up.cfg) is optional. If a Power Up file is present, its settings are applied whenever the receiver is powered up.In this file, you can specify that the receiver is reset to defaults before the Power Up settings are applied. This ensures that restarting the receiver always results in the same configuration. This method is useful for defining “default” settings for the receiver that differ from those in the Default file, which cannot be changed.Alternatively, you can specify that the Power Up settings are applied immediately after the Current application file’s settings have been applied. Restarting the receiver results in a configuration that uses your default settings for the options you define in the Power Up file, but the current settings for all other options.

4 Configuration66 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 OperationBy default, there is no Power Up application file on the receiver. If you want to use a Power Up application file, you need to create an application file in Configuration Toolbox and make sure that the As auto power up file option is selected in the File page. When you transfer this file to the receiver, it is transferred with the name Power_up.cfg, and becomes the new Power Up file.The Power Up file is the only special application file that you can overwrite or delete from the receiver.4.4.2 Timed Application FilesA timed application file contains a Timed Activation record which specifies when this file is to be applied. The main use of a timed application file is to automatically start or stop logging at a predefined time.The Timed Activation record specifies:•the UTC date and time when the application file is to be applied for the first time•the interval at which the file is to be reappliedIf you do not specify a repeat interval, the settings are applied only once, at the specified time. If the file specifies a repeat interval, the file’s settings are reapplied at the specified interval until the file is deactivated.Defining timed application filesTo send timed application files to a 5700 receiver, set up scheduled survey sessions in GPS Configurator. You can define multiple sessions, each specifying:•basic logging parameters (data logging rate, position logging rate, and elevation mask)•a starting time•a duration

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 67Configuration 45700 OperationWhen you apply the current settings in GPS Configurator, each defined survey session is sent to the 5700 receiver as a pair of timed application files: the first includes the logging settings and start time, and the second contains settings that stop logging at the end time (which is calculated automatically from the duration you specify).For more information on scheduled survey sessions, refer to the GPS Configurator Help.The 5700 receiver can store up to 20 application files, so you can define a maximum of 10 scheduled survey sessions (10 pairs of start/stop timed application files).Note – You cannot use Configuration Toolbox to define timed application files.Sleep modeWhenever you press  to turn off the 5700 receiver, it checks for a timed application file that is due to be activated in the future. If one exists, the receiver goes into Sleep mode instead of powering down.In Sleep mode, the yellow Logging/Memory LED flashes every three seconds. The receiver wakes up five minutes before the scheduled activation time, so that it is ready to begin logging at the scheduled time.

4 Configuration68 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation4.4.3 Applying Application FilesAn application file’s settings do not affect the receiver’s configuration until you apply the application file. You can do this at the same time that you save the file. Alternatively, save the file on the computer or in the receiver, then open it later and apply its settings.Note – If the application file is a timed file, its settings do not take effect as soon as you apply the file, but at the time that the file specifies for its activation.4.4.4 Storing Application FilesYou can store application files that you create in Configuration Toolbox on both your receiver and computer. Each file can, for example, represent a different user sharing the same receiver, or a particular mode of operation or survey style. Saving application files on your computer as well as in your receiver is optional, but it is useful because:•it gives you a permanent copy of the settings you have sent to a receiver, for audit or your own reference•you can use the same file to configure multiple receivers identically•you can use an existing application file as a template for creating other application files with similar settings4.4.5 Naming Application FilesThe filename that you use to store the application file in the computer and the name under which the file is stored in the receiver are always the same. This makes recognizing and keeping track of your application files easier. If you change the name of the file on the receiver, this changes the filename used to store the application file on your computer. Similarly, if you change the filename on the computer, the name of the file in the receiver will change.

If the receiver is unplugged or powered down, a warning message is displayed on the computer.USB cableUSB portUSB port

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 73Transferring Data 55700 Operation5.3 Transferring DataTransfer the data files to the computer using the Trimble Data Transfer utility. You can run this utility as a standalone program or from within Trimble Geomatics Office. For more information about the transfer process, refer to the Data Transfer Help.Note – When you connect to a 5700 receiver in the Data Transfer utility, you must use a GPS Receiver (5000 Series) device definition. If you use a GPS Receiver (4000 Series) device definition, the Data Transfer utility will be unable to establish communication with the 5700 receiver.When transfer is complete, the Data Transfer utility automatically converts the file to the DAT format. If you are using Data Transfer from within Trimble Geomatics Office, the Check-in dialog appears. For more information, refer to the Trimble Geomatics Office User Guide.Note – A file in DAT format is approximately six times the size of the corresponding file in the 5700 receiver’s internal format. Before transferring files, make sure that there is enough space on your computer.

5 Transferring Data74 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation5.4 Transferring Files Directly from a CompactFlash CardAll data is stored in a 5700 receiver on an internal CompactFlash card. There are two ways to transfer files between the receiver and your office computer:•Connect the receiver to the office computer and use the Data Transfer utility to transfer files.•Remove the CompactFlash card from the receiver and connect it directly to your office computer, where it functions like a normal disk drive. Use Windows Explorer to transfer files.When you use the Data Transfer utility to transfer data files from the CompactFlash card while it is still inserted in the 5700 receiver, the Data Transfer utility converts the raw receiver data (.T00) files you select into the Trimble DAT file format.However, if you connect the CompactFlash card to your computer and then copy or move files to your computer, it treats the card like any other disk drive, and transfers the files without converting them. You need to convert these raw receiver files to DAT format files before you can use them on your office computer.You can convert receiver data files by using a Windows Explorer extension which is installed on your computer when you install the Data Transfer utility. Note – Although this extension is only available if you have the Data Transfer utility installed, you do not have to run the Data Transfer utility to use it.

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 75Transferring Data 55700 OperationTo convert a .T00 file on your office computer into the DAT format:1. On your office computer, open Windows Explorer and navigate to the location of the .T00 file. 2. Right-click the file, and from the menu that appears select Convert to DAT format: The DAT File Conversion dialog appears while the file is converted. When the dialog disappears, the file conversion is complete.A new file with the same filename but a .dat extension appears in the same folder as the .T00 file.

5 Transferring Data76 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide5700 Operation5.5 Deleting Files in the ReceiverYou can delete files stored in the 5700 receiver at any time. Do one of the following:•Use the Data Transfer utility in Trimble Geomatics Office.•Use the TSC1/TSCe data collector.•Hold down the power button  for 30 seconds after the receiver has been powered on. (When you use this method, all data is deleted, and the CompactFlash card is reformatted.)•Use GPS Configurator.5.6 Supported File TypesTable 5.1 shows the file types that you can transfer to or from a 5700 receiver, and the software or utility that you must use to transfer each file type.Note – The 5700 receiver supports a maximum of 512 files on the CompactFlash card.

The Default application file, Default.cfg, is stored permanently in the receiver, and contains the factory default settings for the 5700 receiver. Whenever the receiver is reset to its factory defaults, the current settings (stored in the Current application file, Current.cfg) are reset to the values in the Default application file.You cannot modify the Default application file. However, if there is a Power Up application file (Power_Up.cfg) in the receiver, the settings in this file can be applied immediately after the Default application file, overriding the factory defaults.For more information about application files, see Application Files, page 63.

If the receiver was logging when power was lost unexpectedly, it resumes logging when power is restored.However, when you switch the 5700 receiver off using , the receiver behaves as if you pressed  to stop logging before you pressed . In this case, when power is restored normally, logging does not begin until you start it manually.8.4.4 Disabling LoggingYou can disable logging by setting the receiver’s data logging and position logging rates to Off.

Sending an application file to the receiver does not necessarily apply the file’s settings; you can apply a file’s settings at any time after sending it to the receiver. You can also define timed application files. A timed application file contains receiver settings, but also includes a date and time when it is automatically activated.If there is a timed application file on the 5700 receiver, the receiver automatically applies the file’s settings and begins logging (if logging settings are included in the file) at the specified time. If the 5700 is in Sleep mode, it wakes up five minutes before the start time of the timed application file, and then begins logging, if required, at the specified start time.When you send an application file to the receiver and …then the receiver settings are changed …you apply the file’s settings immediately as soon as you send the file to the receiveryou apply the file later as soon as you apply the fileit is a timed application file at the specified activation time

10 Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output110 5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide55700 Reference10.1IntroductionThe 5700 receiver can accept event marker input on Port 1 and Port 2, and can generate 1PPS output on Port 2.10.2Event Marker InputEvent marker input is used to log a precise GPS time tag whenever an externally generated pulse, such as one generated at the time of the shutter closing from a photogrammetric camera, is received. The event is triggered when the source pulse voltage transitions between 1.0 VDC and 2.0 VDC in less than 100 nsec. Trimble recommends that you use TTL level inputs. You can configure the receiver to recognize either a positive (rising) or negative (falling) voltage as the leading edge of a pulse. The accuracy of the associated time tag recorded for an event is determined by the GPS accuracy (typically less than 1 µsec.).The 5700 receiver records each event in the current data file. This record includes the port on which the event was received.10.2.1 Enabling and Configuring Event Marker InputTo enable or configure the event marker input function, you need either GPS Configurator or Configuration Toolbox.In real timeYou can use GPS Configurator to configure a Trimble GPS receiver connected to your office computer.

The pulse is output through Port 2 of the 5700 receiver using the event marker/1PPS cable. 10.3.1 1PPS Pulse DefinitionThe leading edge of the pulse coincides with the beginning of each UTC second, as shown in Figure 10.1. The pulse is driven by an RS-422 driver between nominal levels of 0 V and 4 V. The leading edge is positive, rising from 0 V to 4 V.Figure 10.1 Time tag relation to 1PPS wave form0V4VSecondsTime tag output here Time tag applies here

5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 115Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output 1055700 ReferenceThe pulse is approximately 8 µsec wide, with rise and fall times of about 100 nsec. Resolution is approximately 40 nsec, but several external factors limit accuracy to approximately ±1 µsec:•Position errors, especially with user-entered reference. Each meter of error can result in 3 nsec of error in the 1PPS pulse.•Antenna cable length. Each meter of cable adds a delay of about 2 nsec to satellite signals, and a corresponding delay in the 1PPS pulse.10.3.2 ASCII Time Tag DefinitionEach time tag is output about 0.5 second before the corresponding pulse, as shown in Figure 10.1. Time tags are in ASCII format on a user-selected serial port. The format of a time tag is:UTC yy.mm.dd hh:mm:ss abWhere:•UTC is fixed text.•yy.mm.dd is the year, month, and date.•hh:mm:ss is the hour (on a 24-hour clock), minute, and second.

CHAPTER1111 OverviewIn this chapter:IntroductionRegulations and SafetyUse and CareCOCOM Limits

11 Overview122 5800 GPS User Guide55800 Operation11.1 IntroductionThis chapter introduces the 5800 receiver which is designed for GPS surveying applications. The 5800 receiver incorporates a GPS antenna, receiver, internal radio, and battery in a rugged light-weight unit that is ideally suited as an all-on-the-pole RTK rover. Three LEDs allow you monitor the satellite tracking, radio reception and power. BluetoothTM technology provides cable-free communications between receiver and data collector. The 5800 receiver provides 24 total channels of L1/L2 satellite tracking, and supports logging of raw GPS observables to the handheld data collector for post-processed applications. The 5800 is available as a standalone Rover or as part of the GPS Total Station® 5700 system, offering maximum versatility in the system configuration to meet your specific requirements.11.2 Regulations and SafetyThe Bluetooth module inside your 5800 is a radio-modem transmitter and receiver.Regulations regarding the use of the radio-modems vary greatly from country to country. In some countries, the unit can be used without obtaining an end-user license. Other countries require end-user licensing. Consult your local communications governing agency for licensing information.Before operating a 5800, determine if authorization or a license to operate the unit is required in your country. It is the responsibility of the end user to obtain an operator’spermit or license for the 5800 radio-modem for the location or country of use.

5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 123Overview 1155800 OperationStatement according FCC part 15.19This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.Statement according FCC part 15.21Modifications not expressly approved by Trimble could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.Statement according FCC part 15.105This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:-- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

11 Overview124 5800 GPS User Guide55800 Operation11.2.1 Type ApprovalType approval, or acceptance, covers technical parameters of the equipment related to emissions that can cause interference. Type approval is granted to the manufacturer of the transmission equipment, independent from the operation or licensing of the units. Some countries have unique technical requirements for operation in particular radio-modem frequency bands. To comply with those requirements, Trimble may have modified your equipment to be granted Type approval. Unauthorized modification of the units voids the Type approval, the warranty, and the operational license of the equipment.11.2.2 SafetyExposure to Radio Frequency RadiationThe radiated output power of the internal Bluetooth wireless radio is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the wireless radio shall be used in such a manner that the 5800 is 2.5 cm or further from the human body. The internal wireless radio operates within guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, which reflect the consensus of the scientific community. Trimble therefore believes the internal wireless radio is safe for use by consumers. The level of energy emitted is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones. However, the use of wireless radios may be restricted in some situations or environments, such as aboard airplanes. If you are unsure of restrictions, you are encouraged to ask for authorization before turning on the wireless radio11.3 Features The receiver provides the following features:•Centimeter-accuracy, real-time positioning with RTK/OTF data, up to 10 Hz position updates

5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 125Overview 1155800 Operation•Submeter-accuracy, real-time positioning using pseudorange corrections•Adaptive dual-frequency RTK engine•WAAS capability•Automatic OTF (on-the-fly) initialization while moving•Single Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery•Cable-free Bluetooth communications with the Trimble ACU or TSCe with Bluecap module •Two RS-232 serial ports for:–NMEA output–RTCM SC-104 input–Trimble Format (CMR & CMR Plus) input•One TNC port for connecting to a radio antenna

11 Overview126 5800 GPS User Guide55800 Operation11.4 Use and CareThe 5800 receiver is designed to withstand the rough treatment that typically occurs in the field. However, the receiver is a high-precision electronic instrument and should be treated with reasonable care.Warning – Operating or storing the 5800 receiver outside the specified temperature range can damage it. For details, see Physical specifications, page 166.High-power signals from a nearby radio or radar transmitter can overwhelm the receiver circuits. This does not harm the instrument, but it can prevent the receiver electronics from functioning correctly. Avoid using the receiver within 400 meters of powerful radar, television, or other transmitters. Low-power transmitters such as those used in cellphones and two-way radios normally do not interfere with 5800 receiver operations.For more information, see the Trimble technical note Using Radio Communication Systems with GPS Surveying Receivers.11.5 COCOM LimitsThe U.S. Department of Commerce requires that all exportable GPS products contain performance limitations so that they cannot be used in a manner that could threaten the security of the United States. The following limitations are implemented on the 5800 receiver.Immediate access to satellite measurements and navigation results is disabled when the receiver’s velocity is computed to be greater than 1000 knots, or its altitude is computed to be above 18,000 meters. The receiver continuously resets until the COCOM situation is cleared.

5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 141General Operation 1355800 Operation13.5Logging DataAs the 5800 receiver does not contain internal memory, you can only log data to the data collector.13.5.1 Logging to Trimble Survey ControllerWhen the 5800 receiver is connected to a data collector running Trimble Survey Controller, you can log GPS data from the receiver to the data collector, or to a PC card inserted in the data collector. When you use Trimble Survey Controller, you do not use the receiver’s controls. Instead, you use Trimble Survey Controller functions to set logging options, specify filenames, and control when logging occurs.Data is stored in job files, which can be transferred to your office computer using Trimble’s Data Transfer utility.For more information on logging data from a receiver using Trimble Survey Controller, refer to the Trimble Survey Controller User Guide.13.6Resetting to DefaultsTo reset the 5800 receiver to its factory default settings, hold down  for at least 15 seconds.For more information, see Chapter 17, Default Settings.13.7Batteries and PowerThe 5800 receiver can be powered either by its internal battery or by an external power source connected to Port 1. Typically, one internal 1.8 ampere-hour battery provides approximately 5.5 hours of operation during an RTK survey using the internal radio.

13 General Operation142 5800 GPS Receiver User Guide55800 OperationIf an external power source is connected to Port 1 it is used in preference to the internal battery. When there is no external power source connected, or if the external power supply fails, the internal battery is used. The 5800 receiver is supplied with two rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, and a dual battery charger. The two batteries take approximately eight hours to fully charge. 13.7.1 Power OutputThe 5800 receiver does not supply power from either of its 2 ports.13.7.2 FirmwareA receiver’s firmware is the program inside the receiver that makes the receiver run and controls the hardware. You can upgrade the firmware for the 5800 receiver using the WinFLASH utility provided on the 5700/5800 CD.For more information, see WinFLASH Software, page 159.Warning – Upgrading the firmware deletes all application files on the 5800 receiver.

CHAPTER1414 ConfigurationIn this chapter:IntroductionConfiguring the receiver in real timeConfiguring the receiver using application filesApplication files

14 Configuration146 5700 GPS Receiver User Guide55800 Operation14.1IntroductionThe 5800 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be configured using external software such as GPS Configurator, Configuration Toolbox™, or Trimble Survey Controller.There are two ways to configure the 5800 receiver:•Configuring the receiver in real time•Applying the settings in an application fileThis chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods and describes the contents and use of application files.14.2Configuring the Receiver in Real TimeGPS Configurator, Configuration Toolbox, and Trimble Survey Controller all support real-time configuration of the 5800 receiver.When you configure the receiver in real time, you use one of these software applications to specify which settings you want to change. When you apply the changes, the receiver settings change immediately.Any changes that you apply to the receiver are reflected in the Current application file, which is always present in the receiver. The Current application file always records the most recent configuration, so if you apply further changes (either in real time or using an application file) the Current file is updated and there is no record of the changes that you applied originally.For more information on configuring the receiver in real time, see Chapter 15, Software Utilities.

5700 GPS Receiver User Guide 147Configuration 1455800 Operation14.3Configuring the Receiver Using Application FilesAn application file contains information for configuring a receiver. To configure a receiver using an application file, you need to create the application file, transfer it to the receiver, and then apply the file’s settings. Use the Configuration Toolbox software to perform all these tasks.For more information on applying application files, see Chapter 15, Software Utilities.14.4Application FilesAn application file is organized into records. Each record stores configuration information for a particular area of receiver operation. Application files can include the following records:•File Storage•General Controls•Serial Port Baud/Format•Reference Position•Logging Rate•SV Enable/Disable•Output Message•Antenna•Device Control•Static/Kinematic•Input Message

14 Configuration148 5700 GPS Receiver User Guide55800 OperationAn application file does not have to contain all of these records. When you apply an application file, any option that is not included in the records in the file remains at its current setting. For example, if you apply an application file that only specifies the elevation mask to use, all other settings remain as they were before the application file was applied.You can store up to twenty different application files in battery-backed memory on the receiver. You can apply an application file’s settings at the time it is transferred to the receiver, or at any time afterwards.14.4.1 Special Application FilesThe 5800 receiver has three special application files, which control important aspects of the receiver’s configuration.Default application fileThe Default application file (Default.cfg) contains the original receiver configuration, and cannot be changed. This file configures the receiver after it is reset. You can reset the receiver by holding down  for at least 15 seconds, or by using the reset option in GPS Configurator.For more information on the default receiver settings, see Default Settings, page 169.Although you cannot change or delete the Default application file, you can use a Power Up application file to override any or all of the default settings.

5700 GPS Receiver User Guide 149Configuration 1455800 OperationCurrent application fileThe Current application file (Current.cfg) reflects the current receiver configuration. Whenever you change the receiver’s configuration, either in real time or by applying an application file, the Current file changes to match the new configuration.You cannot delete the Current file or change it directly, but every change to the receiver’s current configuration is applied to the Current file as well.When you switch off the receiver then turn it on again, all the settings from the Current application file are applied, so you do not lose any changes that you have made. The only exceptions are the following logging parameters:•Logging rate•Position rate•Elevation maskThese parameters are always reset to the factory default values whenever the receiver is switched off.Power Up application fileThe Power Up application file (Power_up.cfg) is optional. If a Power Up file is present, its settings are applied whenever the receiver is powered up.In this file, you can specify that the receiver is reset to defaults before the Power Up settings are applied. This ensures that restarting the receiver always results in the same configuration. This method is useful for defining “default” settings for the receiver that differ from those in the Default file, which cannot be changed.Alternatively, you can specify that the Power Up settings are applied immediately after the Current application file’s settings have been applied. Restarting the receiver results in a configuration that uses your default settings for the options you define in the Power Up file, but the current settings for all other options.

14 Configuration150 5700 GPS Receiver User Guide55800 OperationBy default, there is no Power Up application file on the receiver. If you want to use a Power Up application file, you need to create an application file in Configuration Toolbox and make sure that the As auto power up file option is selected in the File page. When you transfer this file to the receiver, it is transferred with the name Power_up.cfg, and becomes the new Power Up file.The Power Up file is the only special application file that you can overwrite or delete from the receiver.14.4.2 Applying Application FilesAn application file’s settings do not affect the receiver’s configuration until you apply the application file. You can do this at the same time that you save the file. Alternatively, you can save the file on the computer or in the receiver, then open it later and apply its settings.14.4.3 Storing Application FilesYou can store application files that you create in Configuration Toolbox on both your receiver and computer. Each file can, for example, represent a different user sharing the same receiver, or a particular mode of operation or survey style. Saving application files on your computer as well as in your receiver is optional, but it is useful because:•it gives you a permanent copy of the settings you have sent to a receiver, for audit or your own reference•you can use the same file to configure multiple receivers identically•you can use an existing application file as a template for creating other application files with similar settings

5700 GPS Receiver User Guide 151Configuration 1455800 Operation14.4.4 Naming Application FilesThe filename that you use to store the application file in the computer and the name under which the file is stored in the receiver are always the same. This makes recognizing and keeping track of your application files easier. If you change the name of the file on the receiver, this changes the filename used to store the application file on your computer. Similarly, if you change the filename on the computer, the name of the file in the receiver will change.
