G-858BP Backpack Mag
Operators Manual
Chapter 7: Base Station
In base station mode, the unit will not keep track of changes in position. This is most useful when
the unit is being used to collect data for diurnal correction of another, roving, unit’s data. This procedure is
accomplished in the post-processing of your data, using the MagMap2000 program. See Chapter 4 for
more details.
In addition, this mode supports a real-time transfer of data out of the RS-232. This is useful if you
are using another PC to collect and process the data. Of course, you may also store the data inside the G-
858BP, with or without real-time transfer.

Base Station Main Menu
Scroll to an empty file, or select the base station file you wish to append data to. The fields are as
follows:
Read Mode.
May be set to TIMED or TRIGGERED. In TIMED mode, data will be read at timed intervals, set by
the cycle time field in this menu. In trigger mode, data will be read and stored by pressing the MARK key.
Store Mode
May be set to STORE IN MEMORY ONLY, STORE AND TRANSFER TO PC, or TRANSFER
ONLY. Transferring data means sending it out the serial port as it is being collected. Storing means
storing the data in the on-board memory.
**NOTE: If the STORE IN MEMORY AND TRANSFER option is selected, then when the memory if
full, after 5 or 6 hours the magnetometer WILL STOP TRANSFERING DATA. For this reason, if long
term unattended base station use is considered, w
e strongly suggest you use the TRANSFER ONLY
setting.
Then the magnetometer will continue to take readings and transmit them as long as there is battery power.
Baud rate
This field is shown only if transferring to PC was selected in the above field.
