Ashtech Radio Setup – Cable
No configuration options are available when the software is configured to cable.
Ashtech Radio Setup – Older Receivers
Currently, the only radio option available for non-ZMAX Thales/Ashtech receivers is a PDL radio. The Base/Rover
radio setup options will assume the radio is a PDL radio on these receivers, and try to configure them accordingly. All
the same settings (channel, digisquelch, over air link rate) should still be available, however.
 Hard Reset:
Shuts down the receiver and brings it up again with default settings. Resets all port baud rates to 9600
and resets the internal memory.
 Set Factory Defaults:
Resets the receiver and changes all parameters to the factory defaults. It is useful in
troubleshooting problems.
 Save Settings to Receiver:
Use this command is issued as part of the Configure Base and Configure Rover
operations. However, you can run this command at any time as an extra “confirmation” of your settings changes
(including settings changes within Receiver Utilities). This sends the $PASHS,SAV,Y command to the receiver.
 Beep Off:
This disables the Beep sound that emanates from the Receiver when it is turned on.
 Send Command to Receiver:
You can send what are known as “pash” commands, internal Thales/Ashtech codes,
to the receiver. This should be done only in consultation with your Thales dealer.
 Reset RTK Engine:
This resets the carrier phase ambiguities. This is a useful command if you are having
difficulty obtaining lock and want to start the process of fixing over again. Receiver settings are retained (so you
can think of it as a “soft reset”).
