Overview
This 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 by logging data internally, or as part
of the GPS Total Station® 5700 system, which logs GPS data from the
5700 receiver to a Trimble controller running the Trimble Survey
Controller™ or Trimble Survey Pro™ software.

The 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 more information, see Physical
specifications, page 74.
C
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.

5. Connect an external power source to Port 2 on the receiver.
Note – External rover radios must have their own power source
because the internal Lithium-Ion batteries do not supply enough
voltage. Alternatively, supply external power to port 2 of the
5700 receiver, and enable power out on port 3.
Base radios must have their own power source because of their
high power consumption
Alternatively, you can apply external power directly to the radio,
if it supports it.
You can use a 10 Ah battery, a 6 Ah battery, or camcorder
batteries. The choice of power supply depends on the
application, and whether you are using the radio as a reference

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 the GPS Configurator software. For more
information, see The GPS Configurator Software, page 66.
4.7
Power Supply
The 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.
If 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

– Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the
instructions in the product documentation.
Charging the rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries
All battery types discharge over time when they are not being used.
Batteries also discharge faster in colder temperatures. If a Lithium-ion
battery is to be stored for long periods of time, make sure it is fully
charged before storing, and re-charged at least every three months.
To protect the batteries from deep discharge (5 volts or less), the
receiver is designed to switch batteries or cease drawing power when
the battery pack discharges to 5.9 volts.
A battery that has reached the deep discharge level cannot be
recharged and must be replaced. The following recommendations
provide optimal performance and extend the life of your batteries:
•
•
•
Fully charge all new batteries before use.
Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 volts.
Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use.
Batteries may be kept on charge indefinitely without damage to
the receiver or batteries.
The rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries are supplied partially charged.
Charge them completely before using for the first time. If a battery has
been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use.
The two internal batteries take approximately eight hours to charge.
They are charged individually, so each battery takes approximately 4
hours to charge.The internal batteries start charging whenever an
external power supply of greater than 15 V is detected.
Storing the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
•
Do not store batteries in the receiver or external charger unless
power is applied.

General Operation
•
If you must store the batteries, fully charge them before storing
and then recharge them at least every three months.
Disposing of the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
Discharge the Lithium-ion battery before disposing of it. When
disposing of the battery, be sure to do so in an environmentally
sensitive manner. Adhere to any local and national regulations
concerning battery disposal or recycling.
47.2
If the 5700 receiver is being powered by its internal batteries, it does not
supply power to the controller when they are connected. However, the
controller 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
controller and the 5700 receiver to a power supply, as shown in
Figure 4.3.

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 the Trimble Survey Controlle
softwarer, and you are using an external radio, the software automatically
enables power output on Port 3.

Firmware
A 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 the
WinFlash software. For more information, see The WinFlash Software,
page 67.
WARNING – Upgrading the firmware deletes all application files on the
5700 receiver.
C
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. Disconnect the CompactFlash card from your computer and
insert it into the receiver.
4. Turn the receiver off.
5. Hold down [D] and press [P].
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.

5.1
Introduction
The 5700 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be
configured using external software such as the GPS Configurator, 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 file
This chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods, and
describes the contents and use of application files.

Configuration
5.2
Configuring the Receiver in Real Time
The GPS Configurator, and the Trimble Survey Controller software
both 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 7, Software Utilities.
5.3
An 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 GPS Configurator software to perform all these tasks.
For more information on applying application files, see Chapter 7,
Software Utilities.
5.4
Application Files
An 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

An 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.
54.1
Special application files
The 5700 receiver has three special application files, which control
important aspects of the receiver’s configuration.
Default application file
The 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 [P] for at least
15 seconds, or by using the reset option in the GPS Configurator
software.
5700/5800 GPS Receiver User Guide 53
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
5
Configuration
For more information on the default receiver settings, see Default
Settings, page 78.
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.
Current application file
The 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 mask
These parameters are always reset to the factory default values
whenever the receiver is switched off.
Power Up application file
The 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.

Configuration
5
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.
By 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 the GPS Configurator software 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.
54.2
Timed application files
A 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 reapplied
If 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.

5
Configuration
Note – If the receiver is logging continuously, the current logging takes
precedence over any timed application file stored in the receiver.
Defining timed application files
To send timed application files to a 5700 receiver, set up scheduled
survey sessions in the GPS Configurator software. You can define
multiple sessions, each specifying:
•
basic logging parameters (data logging rate, position logging
rate, and elevation mask)
•
•
a starting time
a duration
When you apply the current settings in the GPS Configurator software,
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).
Sleep mode
Whenever you press [P] 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.

Configuration

54.3
Applying application files
An 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.
54.4
Storing application files
You can store application files that you create in the GPS Configurator
software 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
54.5
Naming application files
The 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.

6.3
Transferring Data
Transfer 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.
6.4
Transferring Files Directly from a
CompactFlash Card
All 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 (.T01) files you
select into the Trimble DAT file format.

Transferring Data
6
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.
To convert a .T01 file on your office computer into the DAT format:
1. On your office computer, open Windows Explorer and navigate
to the location of the .T01 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.

Default Settings
All 5700 receiver settings are stored in application files. 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,
For more information about application files, see Application Files,
page 52.

9.3
Examples
The following examples show how the 5700 receiver uses the default
settings and special application files in various situations.
93.1
Default behavior
The factory defaults are applied whenever you start the receiver. If a
Power Up file is present in the receiver, its settings are applied
immediately after the default settings, so you can use a Power Up file to
define your own set of defaults.

Power up settings
When you turn the receiver off, any changes that you have made to
logging settings are lost and these settings are returned to the factory
defaults. Other settings remain as defined in the Current file. The next
time you turn on the receiver, the receiver checks for a Power Up file
and, if one is present, applies the settings in this file.

93.3
Logging after power loss
If the receiver loses power unexpectedly, when power is restored the
receiver tries to return to the state it was in immediately before the
power loss. The receiver does not reset itself to defaults or apply any
Power Up settings. If the receiver was logging when power was lost
unexpectedly, it resumes logging when power is restored.

Default Settings
However, when you switch off the receiver using [P], the receiver
behaves as if you pressed [D] to stop logging before you pressed [P]. In
this case, when power is restored normally, logging does not begin until
you start it manually.

Application files
You can use application files to change the settings in the receiver.
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 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 receiver 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.

11.1Introduction
The 5700 receiver can accept event marker input on Port 1 and Port 2,
and can generate 1PPS output on Port 2.
11.2Event Marker Input
Event 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.

11
Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output
The event is triggered when the source pulse voltage transitions
between 1.0 V DC and 2.0 V DC 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.
112.1
Enabling and configuring event marker input
To enable or configure the event marker input function, you need either
GPS Configurator.
In real time
You can use GPS Configurator to configure a Trimble GPS receiver

11
Event Marker Input and 1PPS Output
The 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.
•
2 nsec to satellite signals, and a corresponding delay in the 1PPS
pulse.
111.2
ASCII time tag definition
Each time tag is output about 0.5 second before the corresponding
pulse, as shown in Figure 11.1. 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 ab
Where:
•
•
•
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.
The time is in UTC, not GPS time.
•
a is the position-fix type:
1 = 2D Position Fix for E,N only
2 = 3D Position Fix
3 = Single SV Clock-only fix
4 = Automatic Mode
5 = Reference Station Position
6 = Two-Dimensional with Fixed Clock
7 = Overdetermined solution for Clock-only
•
•
b is the number of satellites being tracked: 1 to 9, “:” (for 10), “;”
(for 11), or “<” (for 12).
Each time tag is terminated by a carriage return, line feed
sequence.

UTC 93.12.21 20:21:17 56
UTC 93.12.21 20:21:18 56
If a and b are ??, the time is based on the receiver clock because the
receiver is not tracking satellites. The receiver clock is less accurate
than time readings extracted from satellite signals.
111.3
Enabling and configuring 1PPS output
To enable or configure the 1PPS output function, you need GPS
Configurator.
In real time
You can use GPS Configurator to configure a Trimble GPS receiver

12.2Use and Care
The 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 more information, see Physical
specifications, page 140.
C
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.
12.3COCOM Limits
The 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.

12
Overview
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.

Logging internally
The 5800 receiver logs GPS data internally on 2 Mb of internal memory.
You can then use the Trimble Data Transfer utility to transfer logged
data files to the office computer. The transferred files are in Trimble
DAT (.dat) format.
WARNING – The 5800 allows for a maximum of 512 files on the internal
C
memory. The filenames must be in 8.3 format, otherwise files copied to
the internal memory may cause data corruption or loss of data when
logging.
Data is logged using the current logging settings configured in the
receiver. Data files logged internally are named automatically.
To begin internal logging, you must use a Trimble controller, or the GPS
Configurator utility. The 5800 receiver does not have an internal clock,
so you cannot conduct timed sessions.
Note – When the internal memory is full, the receiver stops logging data,
and the Logging/Memory LED switches off. Existing data files are not
overwritten.

General Operation 14
– Use the battery only in Trimble equipment that is specified to use it.
– Use the battery only for its intended use and according to the
instructions in the product documentation.
Charging the rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries
All battery types discharge over time when they are not being used.
Batteries also discharge faster in colder temperatures. If a Lithium-ion
battery is to be stored for long periods of time, make sure it is fully
charged before storing, and re-charged at least every three months.
To protect the batteries from deep discharge (5 volts or less), the
receiver is designed to switch batteries or cease drawing power when
the battery pack discharges to 5.9 volts.
A battery that has reached the deep discharge level cannot be
recharged and must be replaced. The following recommendations
provide optimal performance and extend the life of your batteries:
•
•
•
Fully charge all new batteries before use.
Do not allow the batteries to discharge below 5 volts.
Keep all batteries on continuous charge when not in use.
Batteries may be kept on charge indefinitely without damage to
the receiver or batteries.
The rechargeable Lithium-ion batteries are supplied partially charged.
Charge them completely before using for the first time. If a battery has
been stored for longer than six months, charge it before use.
The two internal batteries take approximately eight hours to charge.
They are charged individually, so each battery takes approximately 4
hours to charge.The internal batteries start charging whenever an
external power supply of greater than 15 V is detected.
Storing the rechargeable Lithium-ion battery
•
Do not store batteries in the receiver or external charger unless
power is applied.

Configuration
The 5800 receiver has no controls for changing settings. It can only be
configured using external software such as GPS Configurator,
WinFlash, or Trimble Survey Controller.
There are two ways to configure the 5800 receiver. You can:
•
•
configure the receiver in real time
apply the settings in an application file
This chapter provides a brief overview of each of these methods and
describes the contents and use of application files.
15.1Configuring the Receiver in Real Time
GPS Configurator and Trimble Survey Controller software both 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 16, Software Utilities.
15.2Configuring the Receiver Using Application
Files
An 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 GPS Configurator software to perform all these tasks.

Configuration 15
For more information on applying application files, see Chapter 16,
Software Utilities.
15.3Application Files
An 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
An 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 the receiver. You
can apply an application file’s settings at the time it is transferred to the
receiver, or at any time afterwards.

15
Configuration
153.1
Special application files
The 5800 receiver has three special application files, which control
important aspects of the receiver’s configuration.
The 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 [P] 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 143.
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.
Current application file
The 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 mask

Configuration 15
These parameters are always reset to the factory default values
whenever the receiver is switched off.
Power Up application file
The power up application file (Power_up.cfg) is used to set the receiver
to a specific configuration any time the unit is powered up.
You can specify that the receiver is reset to defaults before the power up
settings are applied. This ensures that restarting the receiver always
resets it to factory defaults prior to applying the power up application
file.
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.
By 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 GPS Configurator 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.
153.2
Applying application files
An 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.

Configuration
153.3
Storing application files
You can store application files that you create in GPS Configurator 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
153.4
Naming application files
The 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.

NMEA-0183 Output
This appendix describes the formats of the subset of NMEA-0183
messages that are available for output by the receivers. For a copy of the
NMEA-0183 Standard, go to the National Marine Electronics
Association website at www.nmea.org.
A.1
NMEA-0183 Outputs
When NMEA-0183 output is enabled, a subset of NMEA-0183 messages
can be output to external instruments and equipment connected to the
5700 or 5800 serial ports. These NMEA-0183 messages let external
devices use selected data collected or computed by the GPS receiver.
All messages conform to the NMEA-0183 version 2.30 format. All begin
with $ and end with a carriage return and a line feed. Data fields follow
comma (,) delimiters and are variable in length. Null fields still follow
comma (,) delimiters but contain no information.
An asterisk (*) delimiter and checksum value follow the last field of data
contained in an NMEA-0183 message. The checksum is the 8-bit
exclusive OR of all characters in the message, including the commas
between fields, but not including the $ and asterisk delimiters. The
hexadecimal result is converted to two ASCII characters (0–9, A–F).
The most significant character appears first.
Table A.1 summarizes the set of NMEA messages supported by the
5700 and 5800 receivers, and shows the page where detailed
information about each message can be found.

To enable or disable the output of individual NMEA messages, do one
of the following:
•
Create an application file in GPS Configurator that contains
NMEA output settings and then send the file to the receiver.
•
Add NMEA outputs in the Serial outputs tab of GPS Configurator
and then apply the settings.
