Troubleshooting
3. If the receiver still fails to track any satellites, a
component may be malfunctioning. Call your local dealer
or email technical support for assistance.
Receiver is Not Logging Data
Raw Data Logging Icon:
The Raw Data Logging icon on the front panel of the receiver
will be animated when data logging is in progress.
Examining the General Status screen, you determine that the
receiver is not logging data to memory. Follow the procedures
below to determine the cause of this problem.
Step 1. Has Data
Logging Been
Started?
At receiver power up, data logging is disabled in the receiver
(default setting). To start data logging, press the Log button
on the front panel. By default, raw data is written to the
receiver’s internal memory.
1. If the Raw Data Logging icon starts blinking (animated
icon), then the problem is solved. Warning! The Raw Data
Logging icon may blink throughout a logging session, but
if not a single satellite is received during this time, then
your raw data file will be empty.
2. If the problem is not yet resolved, go to step 2.
Step 2. Is the
Currently Selected
Memory Usable?
The receiver logs raw data to the internal memory
(recommended) or to a USB stick. With the default settings,
the selected memory is the internal memory. Changing the
storage medium can only be made using the field software
running your field terminal. You can determine which memory
is currently selected by reading the memory screens. The “*”
symbol indicates the currently selected storage medium.
If the USB stick is the currently selected memory, there is no
USB stick connected and you are using the receiver in
standalone mode (no field terminal used), then the receiver
won’t start data logging when you press the Log button.
1. If you are using the receiver alone and the currently
selected memory is the USB stick, do one of the following:
