Receiver Options

This page shows which functionality the Trimble receiver has enabled.

Select Receiver Status / Receiver Options.

 

Firmware Warranty Date – Indicates when the firmware support for the receiver will expire. Once the date shown has passed, the receiver will not install new firmware. Any firmware that is dated earlier than this may be installed on the receiver.

Precision Capability

Precision Capability – Defines the precision capabilities of the receiver in Base mode and Rover mode.

Base – RTK – The base receiver can transmit CMR/RTCM corrections.

Rover – Precise RTK – The rover receiver is capable of positioning at survey precisions (sub-centimeter).

Rover – Limited – The rover receiver is capable of positioning to the installed precision, e.g., 10/10 indicates it can position to 10 cm (RMS) horizontal and 10 cm (RMS) vertical. The actual precision depends on the correction source used.

Frequency

The total number of frequencies the receiver is capable of tracking. GNSS satellite constellations are capable of transmitting at three frequencies.

Single-Frequency Tracking – The receiver can track a single frequency.

Dual-Frequency Tracking – The receiver can track dual frequencies.

Triple-Frequency Tracking – The receiver can track triple frequencies.

Constellation

Lists the GNSS satellite constellations tracking capability installed/enabled on the receiver. To set the satellites bands to track, select Receiver Configuration / Tracking.

GPS – The receiver can track the GPS satellite constellation. GPS frequencies available are L1-C/A, L2E, L2C, and L5.

SBAS – The receiver can track all SBAS GNSS augmentation satellites. SBAS frequencies available are L1-C/A and L5.

GLONASS – The receiver can track the GLONASS satellite constellation. GLONASS frequencies available are L1-C/A, L1P, L2-C/A, and L3.

Galileo – The receiver can track the Galileo satellite constellation. GLONASS frequencies available are E1, E5-A, E5-B, E5-AltBOC, and E6.

BeiDou – The receiver can track the BeiDou satellite constellation. BeiDou frequencies available are B1, B1C, B2, B2A, B2B, and B3.

NavIC – The receiver can track the NavIC satellite constellation. NavIC frequencies available are L5-C/A and S1-C/A.

Correction Services

Commercial GNSS augmentation services available for use on the receiver. Most of these services require a paid subscription through Trimble Positioning Services.

CenterPoint RTX Fast – The receiver can track Trimble CenterPoint RTX correction services. A CenterPoint RTX subscription is required to perform RTX surveying or to use unlimited xFill services (see MSS Corrections menu). The table displays the date of expiry of your subscription. A date in the past represents there is not a valid subscription installed.

OmniSTAR – The receiver can track the listed OmniSTAR multi-frequency services (HP, XP, G2, G4, G2+, G4+) which can be used for positioning if the subscription is current.

OmniSTAR HP/XP – The receiver can track OmniSTAR HP and OmniSTAR XP signals.

OmniSTAR HP – The receiver can track the OmniSTAR HP, OmniSTAR XP, and OmniSTAR VBS signals.

OmniSTAR VBS – The receiver can track OmniSTAR VBS signals.

Maximum Measurement Rate

The maximum rate at which observable data (measurements) can be logged.

Communication

The available wireless communications installed on the receiver.

BeiDou – The receiver can track the BeiDou satellite constellation. BeiDou frequencies available are B1, B1C, B2, B2A, B2B, and B3.

Bluetooth – The receiver can use Bluetooth wireless technology for communications.

GSM/GPRS – The receiver can support a GSM/GPRS cellular modem.

Wi-Fi – Indicates the receiver supports Wi-Fi in access point (AP) mode and client modes.

Additional Features

If you have additional options installed, they are shown here. To purchase an option, please contact your Trimble dealer.

  • Inertial Navigation – Available if the GNSS receiver contains INS hardware.

  • Position Monitoring – Ability to set up emails to alert and monitor the reference station position so you can be alerted if the antenna falls over, is moved, etc.

  • Binary Outputs – Enables the receiver to output raw GPS and optional GLONASS data in a Trimble proprietary format for use with datalogging.

  • GNSS Subscription – Identifies if you have a GNSS subscription on your receiver.

  • Programmatic Interface – Allows a command and response interaction between a third-party application and the GNSS receiver to check the status and set configuration parameters.
