Spectra Precision ProFlex 800 Reference Manual - Manual (Page 4)

How To Use this Documentation
Please read this section to understand the or-
ganization of this manual. This will help you
navigate more easily through the pages and
find more quickly the information you are
looking for.
The manual is divided into six volumes:
• Receiver Description (Chapter 1)
• Web Server (Chapters 2-3)
• Backpack Land Surveying (Chapter 4)
• CORS station (Chapter 5)
• The Integrator’s Corner (Chapters 6-11)
• Appendix (Chapters 12-13)
Note that these six volumes only appear in
the PDF version of the manual as bookmarks
created at the highest level in the PDF file.
On the other hand, the table of contents only
shows a succession of numbered chapters
without any reference to these volumes.
Therefore, the different chapters come as fol-
lows.
***
Chapter 1 provides a full description of the
ProFlex 800 (front panel display screens, con-
nectors, accessories, batteries, etc.). Addi-
tional sections cover the following topics:
Specifications, Firmware Options, U-Link ra-
dios, Port Pinouts, 1PPS Output and Event
Marker Input.
***
Chapters 2 and 3 are about the ProFlex 800
Web Server, an embedded web application al-
lowing users to control and monitor the re-
ceiver over the Internet. Chapter 2 provides
step-by-step instructions for several typical
applications. Chapter 3 is an illustrated col-
lection of the ProFlex 800 Web Server on-line
help files.
***
Chapter 4 focuses on how to set up a base
and a rover, including radio setups and net-
work connections, for RTK operation. This
chapter also addresses the following topics:
Direct IP Connection To Your Own Base
Through RTDS Software and Using an Exter-
nal CDMA Cell Phone for Network Connec-
tions.
***
Chapter 5 deals exclusively with the ProFlex
800 CORS extension. The content is virtually
the same as the corresponding Getting Start-
ed Guide, except for the list of items and
hardware description which here are ad-
dressed in Chapter 1.
***
Chapters 6 to 11 give in-depth information on
the receiver. They are more particularly in-
tended for integrators and technical experts.
This is the biggest part in this manual.
Chapter 6 explains how to install the ProFlex
800 when used on board a machine or a ves-
sel and provides typical scripts (based on
$PASH commands) to configure the receiver
as a base or a rover.
Chapters 7 lists the connection facilities of-
fered by the Ethernet port.
Chapter 8 is about the $PASH proprietary
commands, introducing the two categories of
commands, and telling you how to apply
them. Chapter 8 also describes the conven-
tions used in their description and provides
an alphabetical list, combining set and query
commands in a single table.
Chapters 9 to 11 provide a full description of
respectively the set commands, the query
commands and the data output formats.
***
Chapters 12 and 13 are grouped together to
constitute the Appendix of the manual.
Chapter 12 is a collection of first-level main-
tenance instructions you may have to refer to,
should you encounter any problems with your
equipment. This chapter also includes the
list of alarms the receiver may generate.
Chapter 13 is designed as a memo gathering
various typical procedures you may some-
times have to run.
