When a dealer or user calls Trimble Positioning Services and places the order, the subscription will be sent to the receiver wirelessly via the CenterPoint RTX signal. As long as the receiver is powered on and is in view of and tracking the RTX satellite, this is the primary method for loading the RTX subscription.
The CenterPoint RTX subscription cannot be received wirelessly if the receiver is connected to the Siteworks or SCS900 software.
You must connect to the receiver’s Trimble web interface, and select OmniSTAR / Configuration menu (using a computer or mobile device), and then configure the receiver to track the RTX satellite:
Alternatively, an option code can be emailed to the dealer and loaded in the receiver via the web interface or WinFlash utility.
Once your CenterPoint RTX subscription has been installed on the receiver, the service can be used with a controller running the Siteworks or SCS900 software or as a standalone receiver. If using the Siteworks or SCS900 Site Controller software, in the Receiver Setup screen, select CenterPoint RTX as the correction method:
RTX setup can also be configured for a standalone receiver via the web interface on the receiver by selecting the OmniSTAR / Configuration menu and selecting RTX for the Internal OmniSTAR Demodulator:
When using the SCS900 software, CenterPoint RTX coordinates are computed and stored using the receiver’s settings which, by default, are in the ITRF2014 epoch 2005.0 reference frame. If using the SPS receiver without a controller running the SCS900 software, you can use the web interface Receiver Configuration / Position menu to select either the default Fixed Epoch (2005.0) or the Current Epoch as shown:
If changes to the RTX reference frame are made using the web interface, those changes are also applied when using the SCS900 software, as it uses the settings in the receiver for RTX reference frame.
The ITRF2014 datum is the current realization of the International Terrestrial Reference System (ITRS). This datum can be transformed to ITRF2014 epoch 2005.0 (fixed), or be used in the current epoch. The default setting is the Fixed Epoch and the receiver uses its approximate position and automatically determines which tectonic plate it is on. The Fixed Epoch allows you to select individual tectonic plates that have been closely modeled to the actual current location. However, there may be large differences due to natural events (such as earthquakes) or proximity to the perimeter of a tectonic plate.
