C Pro XL System
C.1 Introduction
The GPS Pathfinder Pro XL system is based around a
high-performance GPS receiver employing Trimble’s Maxwell
Technology. The Pro XL GPS receivers have either 8 or 12 channels,
and provide differentially corrected C/A code positions accurate to
better than one meter on a second-by-second basis.
C.2 Turning the Receiver On
When the receiver and TSC1 datalogger are connected as shown in the
cabling diagram later in this section, there is no need to explicitly turn
on the GPS Pathfinder Pro XL receiver; when the TSC1 datalogger is
turned on the Asset Surveyor software immediately turns on the
Pro XL and starts communicating with it.
Note – The TSC1 datalogger draws power from the receiver’s battery
when the receiver is turned on.
C.3 Turning the Receiver Off
When you turn off the TSC1 datalogger, or explicitly disconnect the
GPS receiver, the Pro XL receiver is automatically turned off. It
ceases drawing current from the system battery when turned off.
C.4 Configuring the Receiver to Work with the Asset
Surveyor Software
No special configuration of the Pro XL receiver is required to get the
Asset Surveyor software and Pro XL receiver to communicate beyond
the usual GPS rover options that you need to configure in the Asset
Surveyor software. The following section describes the settings
required to obtain submeter accuracy from your Pro XL receiver.
