GSR1700 CSX Operations Manual
Chapter 4: System Setup
Setting up the GSR1700 CSX is a straightforward process,
whether you are in the field or the office. This chapter
summarizes typical receiver operations, as well as system setup
for both field and office operations.
4.1
Setup Overview
The following list outlines the general sequence of operations
when using the receiver:
1.
Supply power to the receiver, using a charged internal
battery or a connection to an external power supply. See
Chapter 5,
, page 44, for more details
about supplying power.
2.
Press the power button. The receiver will turn on, acquire
and track satellites, and issue a “Receiver Ready” message or
sound when it completes the initialization. Typically, the
receiver will then operate based on the POWERUP
configuration. See Section 6.3,
, page 50, for more information about
POWERUP configurations.
3.
If you plan to use a data collector to configure the receiver or
control the survey, connect it to the receiver. A data collector
is not always necessary (for example, if you are using the
receiver in a static survey).
