[. . . ] Two ports are for outputting GPS data, and one port is for receiving real-time corrections into the receiver. The type of communication used for each port is described below: Port COM2 Function NMEA Description Outputs NMEA-0183 messages. NMEA is a standard GPS communication protocol used by many GPS applications. The handheld outputs the following NMEA messages: GGA, GLL, GSA, GSV, RMC, VTG, ZDA. TSIP (Trimble Standard Interface Protocol) is used by Trimble GPS applications, and is also supported by some other GPS applications. If you are using an external correction source connected to COM1 or a Bluetooth port, the corrections must be redirected to COM4. For more information, see Using real-time corrections from an external correction source, page 69. COM3 TSIP COM4 Real-time corrections Note ­ COM1 is a standard serial port that connects to external devices. For more information, see Connecting to other devices using the serial clip, page 109. GeoExplorer 3000 Series User Guide 63 5 Using the GPS Receiver Connecting to the COM port Details of how to configure different types of GPS field software to connect to the GPS COM port are as follows: GPS field software GPS Controller TerraSync ArcPad with the GPScorrect extension Configuration details Run GPS Controller. The software automatically activates the integrated GPS receiver on COM3. The software automatically activates the integrated GPS receiver on COM3. When the Trimble GPScorrect extension is installed, the extension automatically configures the ArcPad software to use the integrated GPS receiver on COM3 using the Trimble GPScorrect protocol. To configure a real-time DGPS source, or to view status information, run the GPScorrect extension. In ArcPad, tap the GPS drop-down menu and then select GPS Preferences from the drop-down menu. Tap the GPS button Configure the software to connect to GPS on COM2 and then use the Connect or Activate GPS command. Configure the software to connect to GPS on COM3 and then use the Connect or Activate GPS command. ArcPad 7 without the GPScorrect extension NMEA application TSIP application Using the GPS field software The GPS Controller software is pre-installed on all GeoExplorer 3000 series handhelds and enables you to check the current GPS status, or to configure the integrated GPS receiver. Depending on the GPS field software you have installed, the default GPS field software will be GPS Controller, TerraSync, or the Trimble GPScorrect extension for ESRI ArcPad software. Note ­ GPS Controller duplicates the status and setup features of TerraSync software and the Trimble GPScorrect extension for ESRI ArcPad software. If one of these applications is installed, it runs instead of GPS Controller when you tap the GPS softkey in the menu bar of the Today screen. For more information about these applications, refer to the documentation for the application. Depending on the GPS field software you have installed, you can use the software to configure settings such as GPS, real-time correction, and antenna settings. You may also be able to use the software to connect to a real-time correction source, configure logging settings, and collect features. For more information, refer to the rest of this chapter and the documentation for the GPS field software. 64 GeoExplorer 3000 Series User Guide Using the GPS Receiver 5 Starting the GPS field software Do one of the following: · · From the Today screen, tap the GPS softkey in the menu bar. [. . . ] In the GPS Controller software, configure the receiver to use real-time corrections from an External Source using the handheld's "Receiver Port". For more information, see Using real-time corrections from an external correction source, page 69. The port settings are incorrect. No GPS positions are available. Change the port settings to match those used by the external source. You cannot use real-time corrections until the GPS receiver is computing positions. [. . . ]
