Saving a Receiver
Configuration
Saving the whole configuration of a receiver may be done 
using the $PASHS,PAR,SAV command. The configuration is 
saved as a PAR file, which is a binary file, and not an ASCII 
file that would list all the $PASH commands relevant to the 
receiver configuration.
The file naming convention used is the following:
PM_
Typically, the configuration will be saved on a USB key so that 
later on you may possibly upload this configuration to another 
of your receivers.
Connect the USB key as shown at the beginning of this 
section before running the command from your data collector 
or command terminal.
The configuration can alternately be saved to the internal 
memory if necessary. For more information on the save 
command, please refer to PAR,SAV: Saving the Receiver 
Configuration To a PAR File on page
211.
Asking a Rover to Use the Same Local Coordinate System as the Base
In some applications, you may want your rover to deliver its 
position in the same local coordinate as the one in which the 
reference position of the base used is expressed.
This can be done by selecting the same local coordinate 
system in the job open on rover side, but there is no guarantee 
that the coordinate system you select in your job uses exactly 
the same transformation parameters as the one used at the 
base. 
There is another more efficient and automatic process that 
guarantees that the same coordinate transformation is used 
on both sides, which is to ask the base to generate RTCM 
messages 1021, 1022, 1023 and 1025 and enable the rover 
to receive, decode and use them.
Using these messages, you can be certain that the rover will 
use exactly the same local coordinate system as the base, 
without any errors or discrepancies.
Implementing this function in the rover is simply made by 
using the appropriate $PASHS,LCS command (see LCS: 
Enabling/Disabling Use of Local Coordinate System on 
page
192).
Once the function is enabled in the rover, and provided the 
base generates these RTCM messages and the rover actually
