GPS Receiver Connections

Before RTK or post processing data collection can take place, you

need to configure how the data collector will communicate with the

rover receiver and the base receiver or cellular phone.
Communication between these devices can be done with serial cables

(wired) and/or Bluetooth (wireless).
The Basic GPS module is ready to use out of the box if communicating
with the base and rover receiver using a serial cable. If you wish to

use the Bluetooth dongle for either the base or rover, you can use the

Bluetooth Setup Wizard to automatically discover and configure the
software. If you need to change back and forth between serial cables

and Bluetooth, you can use Job > Settings > Connection >

Change Settings… as described in the steps below.

Note: Only data collectors with built-in Bluetooth can communicate

with GPS receivers using Bluetooth. Data collectors with a
removable Socket Bluetooth adaptor can communicate with a cell
phone, but not with a receiver.
