Common GPS Utilities
 Reset Receiver
: This command performs a soft reset of the GPS receiver. Soft resets will reinitialize the receiver
like a power cycle. Soft reset does not delete the memory.
 Factory Reset or Hard Reset:
This command will erase the memory of the receiver and restore the setting to a
factory settings.
 Power Off Receiver:
This will power down the receiver.
 Save Settings to Receiver:
Stores receiver settings to internal memory.
 Beep Off:
Turns off the receiver alarms.
 Radio Channel:
Change the channel radio channel of the GPS.
 Configure RTK Device:
Use this page to change your RTK data port settings. This can also be done during base
or rover configuration.
 Check RTK:
This tells the user why they aren’t in RTK fixed.
 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”).
 Bluetooth Settings:
The Bluetooth settings in FAST Survey’s Bluetooth Manager (discussed in Comm Setup) do
not actually change anything in the receiver itself. In order to make changes to the receiver ’s internal Bluetooth
settings, it is necessary to go into Receiver Utilities and click on Bluetooth Settings.
GPS Utility for GPS Simulation
If running GPS simulation, the starting point can be reset using the special GPS utility. Enter the new Lat/Lon for the
position.
