15. Which COM port to be used for external application?
3
rd
party applications need to be configured on COM port 2 in order to access the receiver GNSS
NMEA data.
16. How can I use the built-in e-Compass?
The built-in e-Compass can be calibrated and used e.g. through the Ashtech applications such as
ProMark Field or MobileMapper Field (this feature is not working at the moment when these FAQs
have been written) for such applications as automatic offset input or picture geotagging. There is
no standalone application provided to access the e-Compass indication.
17. Is it possible to power the device from an external battery?
Yes, this is possible and requires a specific power cable (not available at the moment when these
FAQs have been written). In that situation the battery icon displayed at the top of the Today
screen which indicates the status of the battery will display ‘powered by external source’ icon:
. Note, that the internal battery is not charging in this case.
18. Is it possible to power an external device with the receiver?
Yes, the power output is available on the POGO connector: 12V, 0.5A.
19. How many SBAS satellites can be tracked at the same time, 2 or 3
(or more)?
Maximum 2 SBAS satellites can be tracked simultaneously.
20. Why some configuration settings are duplicated in GNSS Toolbox
and ProMark Field software?
GNSS Toolbox is designed for 3
rd
party SW compatibility and use. It helps to configure the internal
GNSS before using the 3rtd party software. The ProMark Field application is virtually a self-
contained and autonomous application with almost all options and settings.
21. What if the SBAS settings in GNSS Toolbox and in another software
e.g. FAST Survey are different?
GNSS Toolbox always shows the current internal GNSS status. Thus if a 3rd party SW modifies the
SBAS settings it will be reflected in the GNSS Toolbox also.
22. GNSS Toolbox and FAST Survey both have options for GLONASS, how
do these options correlate?
GNSS tracking mode is completely depending on GNSS Toolbox settings. GLONASS option in Fast
Survey only makes sense when GPS/GLONASS L1 mode has been selected in GNSS Toolbox, and
