Configuring the Receiver Using
PC-CDU
The GR-5 can be configured in several ways for collecting data for
RTK or post-processing.
• A static Base station collects measurement information and saves
this data to its internal memory.
• An RTK Base station collects measurement information,
determines differential corrections, and transmits them to the
RTK Rover(s).
• A static Rover collects observation data from the same satellites
during the same time interval as the static Base station.
• An RTK Rover collects measurement information and accepts
corrections from the RTK Base station to compute its relative
position.
• A Rover acting as a repeater to re-transmit RTK Base station
measurements to other rover receivers, extending the range of a
GPS system.
To configure, manage files, or maintain the receiver, connect the
receiver and a computer using one of the following methods, and start
PC-CDU:
• use a Bluetooth-enabled external device (computer)
• use an RS232 cable
• use a USB cable and a computer with the TPS USB driver
installed (available on the TPS website)
PC-CDU is Personal Computer-Control Display Unit software used
to manage the various functions of the receiver. The full range of PC-
CDU configuration and function is outside the scope of this manual.
For more information on any of the procedures in this section or on
PC-CDU, refer to the PC-CDU User’s Manual available on the TPS
