Configuring the receiver to use specific settings when it is turned on

See also: Application Files

The power up application file (Power_up.cfg) is used to set the receiver to a specific configuration any time the unit is turned on.

In this file, you can select to reset the receiver to defaults before the power up settings are applied. This ensures that when you restart the receiver, it always resets to factory defaults before applying the power up application file.

Alternatively, you can specify that the power up settings are applied immediately after the current application file’s settings have been applied. Restarting the receiver results in a configuration that uses your default settings for the options you define in the power up file, but the current settings for all other options.

By default, there is no power_up application file on the receiver. To use a power up application file, you must create and save a power_up application file in the GPS Configurator software. If you save this file to disk, the file is called power_up.cfg. The extension .cfg is used, by convention, to identify application files on the office computer. When you transfer this file to the receiver, the file is saved on the receiver as power_up, and becomes the new power up file.
