Logging to a Trimble controller
When the 5800 receiver is connected to a Trimble controller, you can
log GPS data from the receiver to the controller, or to a PC card
inserted in the controller. When you use a Trimble controller, you do
not use the receiver’s controls. Instead, you use the controller
functions to set logging options, specify filenames, and control when
logging occurs.
Data is stored in job files, which can be transferred to your office
computer using Trimble’s Data Transfer utility.
For more information on logging data from a receiver using a Trimble
controller refer to the user guide for your particular controller.

Resetting to Defaults

For more information, see Chapter 18, Default Settings.

Batteries and Power
The 5800 receiver can be powered either by its internal battery or by
an external power source connected to Port 1. Typically, one internal
1.8 ampere-hour battery provides approximately 5.5 hours of
operation during an RTK survey using the internal radio.
