1.4 IconsDescriptionIcons show the current status information of the receiver.The icons provide information related to basic receiver functions.

Touch screen: Tapping the icon switches between the different GPS frequencies ifonly GPS is used and is configured in CONFIGURE SatelliteSettings. If more than two satellite systems are used, tapping the icon togglesbetween the satelite systems..IconDescriptionWhen a position status icon is displayed, the number of satellitescurrently used for the position computation are shown.If no position is currently available then the L1, L2 and L5values (GPS only), the Σ and G/ R values (GPS & GLONASS),the Σ and G/E values (GPS & Galileo) or the Σ and G/R/Evalues (GPS & GLONASS & Galileo) show how many satellitesare being tracked.The number of contributing satellites can differ fromthe number of visible satellites. This may be eitherbecause satellites cannot be viewed or theobservations to these satellites are considered to betoo noisy to be used in the position solution.The number of contributing GLONASS satellitescould be zero if five or more GPS satellites are usedfor the position computation. The processing algorithmautomatically selects the best possible set ofsatellite combinations for the position computation.A position computation with R = 0 is certainly withinthe specified reliability.Real-time deviceand real-timestatusDisplays the real-time device configured to be used and its status.Touch screen: Tapping the icon leads to STATUS Real-Time Input.Real-time mode: ReferenceAn arrow pointing up indicates a reference configuration, it does not indicate if thedevice is working.
