You can also create a file, called an application file or appfile, (*. cfg), which contains all the receiver settings necessary for a particular job or application. Application files can be stored on both the receiver and computer. Multiple files can be maintained to represent multiple users sharing a device and/or multiple modes of operation. You can also save files to audit the operating settings of a receiver. For applications requiring real-time positions in any coordinate system other than WGS-84, you need the Configuration Toolbox software to define and transfer the necessary coordinate system and transformation parameters. A maximum of ten files can be stored in the receiver. This includes the files default. cfg and current. cfg, which always reside in the receiver. Note ­ If you use the SCS900 Site Controller software in the field, you do not need to use the Configuration Toolbox software to set up the transformation parameters. This is done through the Site Calibration process in the SCS900 software. Installing the Configuration Toolbox software You can install the Configuration Toolbox software from the Trimble SPS GPS Receiver CD that is shipped with your receiver, or download it from the Trimble website. The Configuration Toolbox software requires one serial port dedicated to receiver communications. 50 SPS882 Smart GPS Antenna User Guide Configuring the Receiver Settings 6 Installing new versions of the Configuration Toolbox software updates the Coordinate System Library. If you have calibrated sites stored on your computer, save them as receiver configuration files. This ensures that the coordinate system information for particular sites are not overwritten. Installing new versions of the Configuration Toolbox software into a directory containing a previous version overwrites the older program and data files. By default, application files located in the root installation folder, C:\TOOLBOX, are moved to the APPFILE\ subfolder. The installation program creates the subfolders shown in Table 6. 1 within the installation folder. Table 6. 1 Subfolder bin\ appfiles\ Subfolders within the installation folder Description Contains the Configuration Toolbox executable file (ctoolbox. exe) and dynamic link libraries (*. dll). This is the preferred directory for storing application files. Existing application files from earlier versions of Configuration Toolbox are moved here during the installation. Contains the Coordinate System Editor executable file (cseditor. exe), dynamic link libraries (*. dll), and help files. Contains the geodetic database files used by the Configuration Toolbox software and the Coordinate System Editor software. cseditor\ geolib\ Configuring the receiver using the Configuration Toolbox software 1.

[. . . ] Carrier phase corrections are available on Version 2, or on the newer Version 3 RTCM protocol, which is available on certain Trimble dual-frequency receivers. The Version 3 RTCM protocol is more compact but is not as widely supported as Version 2. A real-time differential GPS method that uses carrier phase measurements for greater accuracy. SBAS is based on differential GPS, but applies to wide area (WAAS/EGNOS and MSAS) networks of reference stations. [. . . ]
