Before setting out to collect data with the Asset Surveyor software and
your Trimble GPS receiver, check that you have all the necessary GPS
hardware, batteries, cables, and so on. It is very easy to forget a crucial
piece of equipment, and this can be frustrating or costly if you have
driven or flown to a remote site before setting up your system and
discovering the item is missing.
Your GPS receiver’s Operation Manual provides cabling diagrams for
the Trimble GPS systems of which the TSC1 datalogger is a
component.
– Set up your entire GIS/GPS data collection system and test it, to
make sure that everything is connected correctly, that your batteries are
charged, and that your TSC1 datalogger and GPS receiver are
communicating correctly, before you leave your office. After testing the
system, remember to turn off the GPS receiver and any other equipment
(such as radios) before proceeding to the start point of your survey.
Leaving equipment powered on is likely to waste battery life, especially if it
will be some time before you need to use the equipment.
