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. Before new firmware can be loaded, a Trimble Protected Plan must be purchased from Trimble and the receiver must be updated.

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.

QZSS – The receiver can track the QZSS satellite constellation. QZSS frequencies available are L1-C/A, L1C, L2C, L5, and L6.

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 – The receiver can track Trimble CenterPoint® RTx signals. A CenterPoint RTX subscription is required to perform RTX surveying. For more information, see positioningservices.trimble.com/en/rtx. The table displays the date of expiry of your subscription. A date in the past means that there is not a valid subscription.

NOTE – Receivers activated after 1 April 2024 includes a ready-to-use one year Centerpoint RTX subscription added at Trimble Installation Manager activation. At the end of the 12-month period, you can renew the CenterPoint RTX subscription at the listed price. For more information and instructions on how to configure Trimble RTX with your Trimble software, go to positioningservices.trimble.com/en/rtx-on-point.

xFill – Trimble xFill RTK extension services are installed and available to the user at no charge. Available for free from 5 to 20 minutes depending on your industry, and for extended periods with our premium service. For more information, see positioningservices.trimble.com/en/xfill. The table displays the date of expiry of your subscription. A date in the past means that there is not a valid subscription.

To use this service, you must have Trimble field software.

OmniSTAR HP/XP/G2/G4/G2+/G4+ – The receiver can track OmniSTAR OmniSTAR multi-frequency services (HP,XP, G2, G4, G2+, and G4+) signals. The table displays the date of expiry of your subscription. A date in the past means that there is not a valid subscription.

OmniSTAR VBS – The receiver can track OmniSTAR VBS signals. The table displays the date of expiry of your subscription. A date in the past means that there is not a valid subscription.

QZSS CLAS – The receiver can track the Galileo High Accuracy Service.

NOTE – QZSS CLAS is supported. QZSS CLAS provides centimeter-level nationwide positioning PPP-RTK correction service for Japan. Compact SSR correction format broadcast at 2,000 bps on the QZSS L6D signal. QZSS CLAS supports multi-GNSS including GPS, Galileo, and QZSS. Use firmware version 6.26 or later and enable QZSS L6D on the Tracking screen.

QZSS CLAS

≤ 12 cm

Vertical accuracy

≤ 24 cm

Galileo HAS – The receiver can track the Galileo High Accuracy Service.

NOTE – Galileo HAS is supported from firmware version 6.28. Galileo HAS has reached service level 1, which means “reduced coverage and performance with respect to the Full Service”. For example, the phase biases are still missing in the correction stream. Currently, Trimble cannot guarantee the convergence time specification at least until phase biases are provided. For more information, refer to https://www.gsc-europa.eu/galileo/services/galileo-high-accuracy-service-has.

Maximum Measurement Rate

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

Communication

The available wireless communications installed on the receiver.

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

Internal Radio – The internal UHF or VHF radio is installed. Also shown is the current radio bandwidth and country code.

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.

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

  • Data Logging – The receiver can log raw GNSS data to internal memory. Also displayed is the total available memory in the receiver.

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

  • High Accuracy NMEA – The receiver can output high accuracy (any position type other than Autonomous and SBAS) positions in NMEA messages to non-Trimble applications.

  • 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.
