18 Using GPS GeoExplorer Series Getting Started Guide
To use WAAS/EGNOS corrections:
1. In GPS Controller, open the
Real-time section and tap the
Setup button .
2. In the
Choice 1
field, select
Integrated WAAS. In the
Choice
2
field, specify whether to use
uncorrected positions, or to
stop using GPS positions, if
corrections are not available.
3. Tap OK.
Using real-time corrections from other sources
You can use corrections from an external correction source, such as a
Beacon-on-a-Belt (BoB) receiver, a DGPS radio, or a mobile phone. The
external correction source can be connected to a Bluetooth port or to the
optional serial clip (COM1). Use GPS Controller to set up and monitor the
real-time input source that you want to use.
The integrated GPS receiver only communicates through its GPS COM
ports (COM2, COM3, and COM4). Input from an external correction source
connected to COM1 or a Bluetooth port must be redirected to the real-time
GPS COM port (COM4). Trimble applications, such as GPS Controller,
handle the redirection automatically. If you are using any other application
to set up and monitor real-time sources, use GPS Connector to redirect the
input to COM4. For more information, see GPS Connector, page 19.
Note — If TerraSync or the GPScorrect
extension for ArcPad is installed,
configure real-time settings in that
application instead of in GPS Controller.
