Topcon PC-CDU - Receiver Configuration Window

34
At the top of the Manual mode window there is the command line box in which one
can type a (new) command line. Alternatively, one can press
to open the combo-box’s list and
select one of the previously used command lines. Note that there may be stored up to twenty (20)
command lines in the list. Once the desired command line is typed (or selected), press the Send
command button in the bottom-left corner of the Manual Mode window or just click the
Enter key on your keyboard. The receiver’s responses will be displayed in the
receiver replies
window located under the command line box.
Use the Stop all messages button to stop outputting any messages to the current terminal

.
With the Clear window button one can clear the
receiver replies window.
Press Exit to close the Manual Mode window.
The Disconnect button allows the user to disconnect the PC from the receiver. Note however
the difference between the Disconnect button you press in the Manual Mode window and
the same named item you select from the File menu. If you press Disconnect in the Manual
Mode window, PC-CDU will neither automatically disable RTS/CTS handshaking nor restore the re-
ceiver port’s original baud rate (regardless of whether the Restore the receiver’s original
baud rate on Disconnect option has been selected).
In other words, if one wants to restore the receiver port’s original baud rate, it can be achieved ei-
ther by selecting the Connect item from the File menu or through the Manual Mode win-
dow. In the second case, make sure that the command used to change the receiver port’s baud
rate is executed immediately before clicking the Disconnect button.
The Start logging button allows the user to copy to a text file all information that has been
displayed in the receiver replies window during the session.
With the Load Script button one can load into the receiver the desired script file.
Use Edit Script if editing of the script file is needed.
For more information about scripts, see Appendix A. PC-CDU Scripts.
4.2.4. ‘Receiver Configuration’ window
To go to the Receiver Configuration window, select Receiver from the
Configuration menu, or alternatively press the keys C
TRL+V.
If one selects the Receiver option from the Configuration menu while holding
down the Shift key, the Main window will remain open.
You will see a dialog window comprising eight tabs. Each tab has an Apply button. Pressing this
button instructs PC-CDU to accept the settings made in the tab without closing the window. Note
however that each Apply button serves only “its own” tab and cannot affect the other tabs’ set-
tings.

After the button is pressed, PC-CDU will send an appropriate dm command to the receiver.
