When the Application is in Receiver Managing mode, it will attempt

to detect the device connected to the port.



Disconnecting Auto Detection

P/N 7010-0980 2-5

When detecting a receiver, the detecting a receiver dialog box

(Figure 2-5 on page 2-5) displays. An ActiveSync animated icon and

a Cancel button displays. Additional parameters display when using

serial transport, i.e., baud rate and flow control as shown in

Figure 2-5 on page 2-5.

Figure 2-5. Detecting a Receiver

Press the Cancel button to terminate the process.

The Application always remembers the last successful port settings.

When you try to establish a new connection, the Application first triesto use the last selected settings. The connection is established right

away if you are connecting to the same device.

Disconnecting Auto Detection

When in Receiver Managing or Modem Managing mode, the

Application periodically checks if the device is still connected byobtaining the receiver ID. If connection to the device is lost, an error

message displays (Figure 2-6).

Figure 2-6. Error Message – Connection to Receiver is Lost

The Application then closes the established connection and makes the

tool area inactive. The Application will not try to reconnect to the

transport, then initialize a new connection by selecting

Device Connect from the main menu.

TIP

Disconnection auto detection does not work when

in:

- Simple Terminal mode while using any tool,

- Receiver Managing mode while using the

Terminal or Firmware Upload tool,

- Modem Managing mode while using any tool.

NOTICE

When using a Bluetooth connection the OS can

notify the Application that the connection has

physically been broken (e.g., the remote device was

switched off, or it was moved too far from the

controller). In that case, GRX Utility also closes the

established connection irrespective of the current

application mode or active tool.



P/N 7010-0980

Chapter 3

3-1

Simple TerminalIn Simple Terminal mode, GRX Utility does not:

• detect a device

• adjust port settings

• send any data to the port

This mode is intended for advanced users. Everything is decided by

the user in this pure manual mode.

Simple Manual mode can be used for the following:

• when you want to connect to a device that GRX Utility doesn’t

support.

• when you need to export firmware files to an inoperative receiverthat cannot even be detected (e.g., if the previous firmware

update has not been completed, and the receiver cannot be

detected in Receiver Managing mode).

If you choose Simple Terminal mode, you will see the following

icons on the desktop (Figure 3-1):

Firmware

P/N 7010-0980 3-5

• Simple Mode – if the Simple Mode item is selected, the terminal

works in a similar way as HyperTerminal. Every time you press a

key the key code is immediately sent to the connected device.If not selecting the Simple Mode, you have to compose a

command in the edit box, then press either the Send button or

Enter, and only after that the entered text (ended with carriage

return and line feed) will be sent to the connected device.

• ASCII/HEX – toggles text/HEX mode.

• Text Size – sets the size of the text (Largest, Larger, Normal,

Smaller, Smallest).

• Bytes in a Row – selects the number of bytes in a row, and

whether you want to display the left hand (data) pane and the

right hand (character) pane. This option applies to HEX mode

only.

FirmwareNormally firmware updating is performed in Receiver Managing

mode. However, if a receiver becomes inoperative, e.g., the previous

receiver firmware updating was not successful; only the Simple

Terminal mode will be available for use.

The firmware updating process in Simple Terminal mode is similar to

that described in Chapter 4, “Receiver Managing” on page 4-1. Thereis only one difference: when in Simple Terminal mode, only the

Power ON capture method is available.

GRX Utility allows uploading firmware files to the GRX receiver

(GMSX board), internal modem and power board.

NOTICE

Port settings depend on the OS. Usually the OS for

the PC remembers the previous port state, so if the

port baud rate was changed, the assigned value willbe kept. CE.NET and Windows Mobile will usually

reset port settings by default. I.e., the next time you

open a serial port, you should adjust port settings

again.

for firmware uploads to connect to the receiver via

included serial cable. Resetting the Receiver may

break the Bluetooth connection and interrupt the

firmware uploading process; as a result of this

interruption, the receiver may become inoperative.

NOTICE

Be extremely attentive when selecting firmware

updating parameters, especially when updating

modem firmware. Some modem models don’t

allow terminating of the firmware updating process.

So if you choose incorrect parameter combinations,

or interrupt the firmware updating process, it maydamage your equipment. If this happens, and you

cannot update firmware using even the Power On

capture, you will need to have the hardware

serviced.

Tools

The Tools icon opens the Send Command dialog box that allows you

to reset the receiver and to clear the NVRAM.

Figure 4-11. Send Command

• Reset Receiver – leaves all files intact. Resetting the receiver is

similar to a hot resetting of the computer, but without goingthrough a power cycle.

After a receiver reset operation, the receiver requires a few

seconds to a few minutes to begin tracking satellites and logging

data.

• Clear NVRAM – this command will not delete any files from the

receiver memory. It will reset the receiver parameters to factory

default values (such as active antenna input, elevation mask and

recording interval, and information about the receiver’s internal

file system).

After clearing the NVRAM, the receiver will require some time

to collect new ephemerides and almanacs (around 15 minutes).

Clearing the NVRAM can be interpreted as a “cold reset” of your

computer.

• Enable Solutions – selects the type of solution to use for Rover

receivers.

– Standalone: for a Rover receiver run in differential mode,reports the current standalone position if a DGPS (or RTK)

position is unavailable in the current epoch.

– Code Differential (DGPS): for a Rover receiver run in RTK

Float or RTK Fixed mode unable to obtain an RTK solution

at the current epoch, outputs the current code differential

position. If enabled and Code Differential solution cannot be

obtained, enable Standalone to have the receiver output

single-point positions for the unavailable differential

positions. This mode requires the Base (Reference) receiver

to broadcast Code Differential (not RTK) messages and the

Rover receiver to receive these messages. If either of these

requirements is not met, enabling Code Differential will have

no effect.
