Configuring the Receiver
The Net-G3A is generally configured as a static Reference Station
that collects GNSS measurement information and logs the data
internally to a removable CF card, streams the data to a central
computer, and possibly connects directly to one or more radios (or
any combination of these configurations). Topcon's PC-CDU and
TopNET software are used to manage and configure the various
functions of the receiver. Configuration settings are saved to the
NVRAM of the GNSS receiver board and are reflected when using
the MINTER.
The full range of both PC-CDU and TopNET configuration and
operation are outside the scope of this manual. For more information
on any of the procedures in this section, or on PC-CDU or TopNET,
refer to the appropriate manual available from Topcon.
Once you have established a connection between the receiver and the
computer, you will be able to:
• configure the receiver and its components
• send commands to the receiver
• download files from the receiver’s memory
• load a new OAF and other configuration files to a receiver
The following is an example of a configuration for the Net-G3A as a
Reference Station supporting internal data logging and real-time
mobile unit support using a radio for transmission of GNSS
correction data. This configuration uses PC-CDU to apply the
appropriate parameters.
1. Connect the receiver and a computer using one of the methods
described in “Connecting the Receiver and a Computer” on
page 2-15.
Do not make other changes without consulting the
PC-CDU Reference Manual.
