9.5Device Manager

9.5Device Manager

The Device Manager provides a library of all devices available for Real-Time, Offset, and ASCII Input. The Device Manager allows for existing devices to be modified as well as New Devices to be created.

9.5.1Creating a New Device

1. From the Device List, select Menu and choose 1 New.

Tip: The Properties of the previously highlighted device will be copied, including the next sequential number of the Device name.

2.Edit the Device name, and edit the hardware port settings if necessary.

3.Select Menu and choose Save.

9.5.2Modifying an Existing Device

1.From the Device List, select Menu and choose 2 Properties.

2.Modify the Device name, and edit the hardware port settings if necessary.

3.Select Menu and choose Save.

9.6GPS

The GPS subgroup allows the user to specify tracking and logging parameters, define the antenna to be used and enter initial coordinates for first time tracking to a new region.

9.6.1Tracking

The tracking screen is comprised of three controls.

Max Accuracy / Max Track / Hyper Track radio button: Is a selection that is mostly dependant upon the GPS environment. Max Track and Hyper Track are Leica Geosystems innovations that allows for signals to be tracked at a lower strength threshold, which provides reception in dense foliage.

Tip: Max/Hyper Track does not allow for phase collection. High precision points should be collected in Max Accuracy.

Mask Angle: Is the angle above the horizon which determines the cutoff for tracking satellites.

Remember: Because a greater distance through the atmosphere must be penetrated for low elevation satellites, a default of 10 degrees is preset and recommended as a minimum!
