This chapter introduces the Trimble
®
R7 GPS
receiver. This receiver is designed for GPS
surveying applications. The receiver features
one-touch logging for ease of use, and five LEDs
that enable you to monitor the survey in progress
and the available battery capacity.
The receiver tracks GPS satellites on both the L1
and L2 frequencies to provide precise position
data for land survey applications. The receiver
records GPS data on an internal CompactFlash
card and makes all data available through serial
or USB ports.
You can use the Trimble R7 GPS receiver alone by
logging data internally, or as part of the GPS Total
Station
®
system, which logs GPS data from the
receiver to a Trimble controller running the
Trimble Survey Controller
™
or Trimble Survey
Pro
™
software.
