TerraFlex settings

To view the TerraFlex settings, tap and tap Settings.

Location Service

The Location Service tile shows the source of the location information used by the TerraFlex software.

Internal indicates the software is using the GNSS receiver inside the device. On supported Trimble devices, such as a Trimble TDC150 handheld, the internal receiver will be the integrated Trimble GNSS receiver or the Trimble Empower EM100 module.

To connect to an external Trimble GNSS receiver, tap the Location Service tile. See Connecting to a Trimble GNSS receiver.

Licenses

Tap the Licenses tile to open a page showing the TerraFlex license and Trimble Catalyst licenses.

It also shows the date your licenses were last updated. If they have been recently changed, tap the Refresh Licenses button to refresh the details shown in this screen.

If you have a Catalyst free, Catalyst 10, Catalyst 30, or Catalyst 60 license, a Catalyst On-demand section displays, enabling you to claim a Catalyst On-demand license directly in TerraFlex; see Claim a Catalyst On-demand license in TerraFlex for full details.

Antenna Settings

Tap the Antenna settings tile to enter information about the GNSS receiver antenna.

In the Antenna height field, enter the height of the antenna. The Antenna height value is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the antenna at the height it is used to measure positions. This could be when it is mounted on a pole, in a backpack when you are wearing it, or attached to a Catalyst or HPS2 handle that your device is attached to.

If the correct antenna type is not shown, tap the Antenna Type field and select the type of antenna you are using. Tap to save your changes.

In the Antenna Measurement Method field, select the method for the antenna setup you are using:

  • Bottom of antenna mount

  • Bottom of pole cap long

  • Bottom of Catalyst antenna handle

  • HPS2 (Bottom of HPS2 handle

  • Bottom of HPS2 w/ pole mount)

The Real-time configuration tile shows the real-time positioning source that is being used to improve the location accuracy of the connected Trimble GNSS receiver.

Depending on your system configuration, you may have more than one source available.
