Receiver Setup

Step 3: Collect Data
See the remaining sections in this chapter for more information on
collecting data.
1. Turn on the receiver. The STAT (status) light (LED) initially
blinks red.
2. Once the receiver has locked on to one or more satellites, the
STAT light blinks green for GPS satellites and orange for
GLONASS satellites. A short red blink indicates that the receiver
has not solved a position. Four or more satellites provide optimal
positioning.
3. Once the short red blink is gone, the receiver has a position and
surveying can begin; wait for green and orange lights before
beginning data collection. This ensures that the receiver has the
correct date and time, and is locked on to enough satellites to
ensure good quality data.
The process of locking on to satellites normally takes less than
one minute. In a new area, under heavy tree canopy, or after
resetting the receiver, it may take several minutes.
4. To begin collecting data, press and hold the FUNCTION key
(for more than one second and less than five seconds).
5. Release the FUNCTION key when the REC (recording) LED
turns green. This indicates that a file has opened and data
collection has started. The REC LED blinks each time data is
saved to the internal memory.
6. When finished, press and hold the FUNCTION key until the
REC LED light goes out.
7. To turn off the receiver, press and hold the power key until all
lights go out, then release.
Use PC-CDU to configure data logging. See
“MINTER Configuration” on page 3-41 or refer to
the PC-CDU Reference Manual.
