1. PC-CDU software

1.1. PC-CDU’s purposes and functions

PC-CDU is a windows application for controlling radio navigation receivers developed and manufac-

tured by the Topcon Positioning Systems company.

The most current version of PC-CDU MS (as of 2.1.10, April 1, 2002) provides the following func-

tions:

• Connects a PC to a TPS receiver via the computer’s serial or parallel ports (

Direct Con-

nection Mode

• Configures a TPS receiver as an “Internet Server”. To do this, the user must run PC-

CDU in

Internet Server Mode

• Connects a PC to a TPS receiver that has been configured and is being run in

Server

Mode

via the Internet. In this case the user must run his/her PC-CDU in

Internet Client

Mode

• Keeps track of the total number and the status of all visible satellites.

• Displays the receiver’s current position and time in real time.

• Controls the recording of raw data measurements into the receiver’s internal memory.

• Downloads collected raw data measurements (log files) from the receiver’s internal

memory onto the computer’s disk drives.

• Records, in real time, the receiver’s raw data measurements on the computer’s disk in

JPS and RINEX formats (using the executable file jps2rin.exe).

• Displays, in real time, the graph of the receiver’s current position and the satellite sky

plot.

• Allows displaying and programming the receiver’s main settings (such as

Data Re-

cording Interval

Position Computation Mode

, etc.).

• Allows display of the current receiver options and loading of

Option Authorization Files
