1.2 Before Leaving the Office
Quick Setup 1
1. Install the GPS Pathfinder ® Office software on your office
computer (refer to the GPS Pathfinder Office Getting Started
Guide).
2. Using the GPS Pathfinder Office software, prepare any data
files or data dictionaries you require, and transfer them to the
TSC1 datalogger. If you want to update GPS or attribute
information on features stored in a GIS, import the data files
and data dictionary into the GPS Pathfinder Office software and
then transfer them to the TSC1 datalogger. You may also want
to transfer any waypoint and coordinate system files to the
datalogger.
3. Check that you have all the required equipment, and that it is
operational. Set up and connect your GPS system (the appendix
in this manual that discusses your GPS receiver lists the
equipment and shows you how to connect it).
4. If the GPS receiver has an On/Off switch, turn it on (the Series
4000, GPS Total Station ® 4700, GPS Total Station 4800, Site
Surveyor 4400, and 4600LS receivers have an On/Off
switch).
Start the Asset Surveyor software to check that it and the GPS
receiver are communicating correctly. If communication is
established, the GPS status line appears. If communication fails,
an error message appears on the screen.
5. Check all critical settings in the Asset Surveyor software. You
should also check non-critical and display settings, especially if
the system has been used by someone else recently. For more
information on how to configure the Asset Surveyor software,
refer to the TSC1 Asset Surveyor Software User Guide.
6. Turn everything off and pack it into carrying cases if you have
to travel a significant distance to the survey site. Pack spare sets
of batteries if you expect to operate the receiver for any length
of time.
