1.2 The GPS Receiver
The GPS Receiver is the instrument that processes the GPS signals received by the GPS Antenna.
There are six different models of GPS receiver in System 500. The model number is printed on the PC card lid.
See the detailed descriptions of each of these receivers given down below.
SR510 — Tracks the L1 C/A code and uses it to reconstruct the carrier phase. Data can be stored for postprocessing in SKI-Pro. Baselines can be calculated with a precision of up to about 5-10mm +2ppm.
With a radio modem attached the receiver can be used for real-time measurements accepting RTCM code corrections. Coordinates can be calculated with a precision of up to about 0.5m.
SR520 — Tracks the L1 C/A code and L2 P-code to reconstruct the carrier phase. When Anti-Spoofing (A-S) is activated, the receiver switches to a patented P-code aided tracking technique that provides full L2 carrier measurements and L2 pseudoranges. Data can be stored for post-processing. Baselines can be calculated with a precision of up to about 3-10mm +1ppm.
With a radio modem attached the receiver can be used for real-time measurements accepting RTCM code corrections. Coordinates can be calculated with a precision of up to about 0.5m.
SR530 — Tracks the L1 C/A code and L2 P-code to reconstruct the carrier phase. When Anti-Spoofing (A-S) is activated, the receiver switches to a patented P-code aided tracking technique that provides full L2 carrier
measurements and L2 pseudoranges. A radio modem attaches and the receiver can be used for RTK operations. Coordinates can be calculated with a precision of up to about 1cm
Data can also be stored for postprocessing. Baselines can be calculated with a precision of up to about 3-10mm +1ppm.
System 500 GPS Receivers can be operated with or without the TR500 Terminal (see section 1.3). The TR500 is used for field data acquisition and for configuring the receiver.
Details of using the Receiver without a Terminal are given in Chapter 3.

Technical Reference Manual-4.0.0en |
1.3 The TR500 Terminal
The TR500 Terminal provides a full user interface to all System 500 GPS Receivers.
It can be used to set parameters in the receiver and to steer the GPS measurement operation.
The TR500 can be used to set and store parameters in one GPS receiver and then removed and used to set parameters in another System 500 receiver. The receiver can then be used in the field without the TR500 attached. Note that whilst this is possible when measuring in any mode, for a Reference or Rover, it is recommended that the Receiver only be used without a TR500 at Reference stations or with Static/Rapid Static Rovers.
The TR500 is connected either |
TR500 mounted on the Receiver |
TR500 connected using the cable |
||
directly to the receiver or via a cable. |
||||
Data input is via a fully alphanumeric |
||||
QWERTY keyboard and an LCD |
||||
display of 32 x 12 characters which |
||||
may be illuminated. |

1. Introduction |
1.4 Data Storage
Data is stored on either an Internal Memory or PC Card. The PC Card is the preferred data storage medium. The Internal Memory is an option.
The PC Card is inserted into the slot on the front of the GPS Receiver. PC Cards are available from Leica with varying capacities. Note that whilst other PC Cards may be used, Leica recommend Leica PC cards only and cannot be held responsible for data loss or any other error that may occur whilst using a non-Leica card.
To insert the PC Card in the GPS Receiver, open the card slot door, with the Leica Logo uppermost and facing you, slide the card into the slot firmly until it clicks into position. Press the eject button at the side of the card to remove it.
The Internal Memory is available in |
|
8MB or 16MB capacities and resides |
|
in the Receiver. When data has to be |
|
downloaded to SKI-Pro, connection is |
|
made between port 2 on the Receiver |
|
and a serial port on the PC. |
|
The memory device is checked |
|
before starting a survey. If it is more |
|
than 80% full, an information mes- |
|
sage appears. |
|
Inserting the PC Card |
|
Follow the care instructions shown on |
|
the rear of the card. Keep the card |
|
dry, only use within the specified |
|
temperature range, do not bend the |
|
card and protect it from direct shock. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions |
|
could result in data loss and/or |
|
permanent damage to the card. |
|
The card can become very hot during |
|
use. Avoid touching the metal parts of |
|
the card after prolonged use. |
1. Introduction |
16 |
Technical Reference Manual-4.0.0en |
PC Card versus Internal Memory
The PC Card is the preferred data storage medium as it has the following advantages over internal memory:
•Faster download times. A PC Card download using a PC Card Reader or PCMCIA port is virtually instantaneous. Internal memory has to download through a serial connection and can take time.
•Flexibility / no downtime of GPS Receiver. A PC Card can be removed from a receiver when it is full and replaced with a spare. The Receiver does not
have to be taken back to the office for downloading.
Using an Internal Memory means however that the data has less chance of being misplaced or lost. This can happen when multiple PC Cards are used for the same project.
If you are not sure about which type of memory to use, try using a PC card but don’t remove it from the Receiver. You can still download as if it were Internal Memory through any port.
