Introduction
This chapter introduces the 5800 receiver which is designed for GPS
surveying applications. The 5800 receiver incorporates a GPS
antenna, receiver, internal radio, and battery in a rugged light-weight
unit that is ideally suited as an all-on-the-pole RTK rover. Three LEDs
allow you to monitor the satellite tracking, radio reception, data
logging status, and power. Bluetooth
technology provides cable-free
communications between receiver and controller. The 5800 receiver
provides 24 total channels of L1/L2 satellite tracking, and supports
logging of raw GPS observables to the handheld controller for post-
processed applications.
The 5800 is available as a standalone rover or as part of the GPS Total
Station® 5800 system, offering maximum versatility in the system
configuration to meet your specific requirements.
