An external antenna can also be connected to bypass the internal GNSS antenna. There are two
SIM cards inside the box, one of them can be easily reached and changed via a small sealed door.
(Figure 1-1).

Figure 1-1. TRIUMPH-1 Receiver

TRIUMPH-1 can receive and processes multiple signal types (includ ing the latest GPS L2C, GPS
L5, GLONASS C/A L2, and Galileo signals) improving the accuracy and reliability of your
survey points and positions, especially under difficult jobsite conditions.

The GNSS component of TRIUMPH-1 receivers means you can access the GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellites of the United States, the Galileo (an upcoming global positioning

system maintained and operated by Galileo Industries,) and the GLONASS (Global Navigation
Satellite System) satellites of the Russian Federation, increasing the number of satellites your
receiver can detect, thus improving the accuracy of your measuring points, increasing
productivity, and reducing cost.

Several other features, including multipath mitigation and common tracking, provide under­canopy and low signal strength reception. The TRIUMPH-1 receiver provides the functionality,
accuracy, availability, and integrity needed for fast and easy data collection.

1.1. Principles of Operation

Surveying with the right GNSS receiver can provide users accurate and precise positioning, a
requirement for any surveying project. This section gives an overview of existing and proposed
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and receiver functions to help you understand and
apply basic operating principles, allowing you to get the most out of your receiver.

1.1.1. GNSS Overview

Currently, the following three global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) offer line-of-site radio
navigation and positioning, velocity, and time services on a global, all-weather scale to any user
equipped with a GNSS tracking receiver on or near the Earth’s surface:

• GPS – the Global Positioning System maintained and operated by the United States
Department of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit the US Naval
Observatory website (http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/) or the US Coast Guard website

(http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/).

• GLONASS – the Global Navigation Satellite System maintained and operated by the
Russian Federation Ministry of Defense. For information on the status of this system, visit
the Coordinational Scientific Information Center website (http://www.glonasscenter.ru/
frame_e.html).

• Galileo – an upcoming global positioning system maintained and operated by Galileo
Industries, a joint venture of several European space agencies/companies working closely
with the European Space Agency. Unlike GPS and GLONASS, this is a civil endeavor
and is currently in the development and validation stage. For information on the status of
this system, visit the Galileo Industries website (http://www.galileo-industries.net).

Despite numerous technical differences in the implementation of these systems, satellite
positioning systems have three essential components:

Introduction

Principles of Operation

Calculating Absolute Positions

17www.javad.com

• Space – GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo satellites orbit approximately 12,000 nautical miles
above Earth and are equipped with a clock and radio. These satellites broadcast ranging
signals and various digital information (ephemerides, almanacs, time&frequency
corrections, etc.).

• Control – Ground stations located around the Earth that monitor the satellites and upload
data, including clock corrections and new ephemerides (satellite positions as a function of
time), to ensure the satellites transmit data properly.

• User – The community and military that use GNSS receivers to calculate positions.

1.1.2. Calculating Absolute Positions

When calculating an absolute position, a stationary or moving receiver determines its three­dimensional position with respect to the origin of an Earth-Center Earth-Fixed coordinate system.
To calculate this position, the receiver measures the distance (called pseudoranges) between it and
at least four satellites. The measured pseudoranges are corrected for clock differences (receiver
and satellites) and signal propagation delays due to atmospheric effects. The positions of the
satellites are computed from the ephemeris data transmitted to the receiver in navigation
messages. When using a single satellite system, the minimum number of satellites needed to
compute a position is four. In a mixed satellite scenario (GPS, GLONASS, Galileo), the receiver
must lock onto fiv e or more satellites to account for the dif ferent time scales used in these systems
and to obtain an absolute position.

1.1.3. Calculating Differential Positions

DGPS, or Differential GPS, is a relative positioning technique where the measurements from two
or more remote receivers are combined and processed using sophisticated algorithms to calculate
the receivers’ relative coordinates with high accuracy.

DGPS accommodates various implementation techniques that can be classified according to the
following criteria:

• The type of GNSS measurements used, either code-phase differential measurements or
carrier-phase differential measurements

• If real-time or post-mission results required Real-time applications can be further divided
according to the source of differential data and communication link used.

With DGPS in its most traditional approach, one receiver is placed at a known, surveyed location
and is referred to as the reference receiver or base station. Another receiver is placed at an
unknown location and is referred to as the remote receiver or rover. The reference station collects
the code-phase and carrier-phase measurements from each GNSS satellite in view.

Introduction

Principles of Operation
Essential Components for Quality Surveying

18 www.javad.com

• For real-time applications, these measurements and the reference station coordinates are
then built up to the industry standard RTCM – or various proprietary standards established
for transmitting differential data – and broadcast to the remote receiver(s) using a data
communication link. The remote receiver applies the transmitted measurement
information to its observed measurements of the same satellites.

• For post-mission applications, the simultaneous measurements from reference and rover
stations are normally recorded to the receiver’s internal memory (not sent over
communication link). Later, the data are downloaded to computer, combined, and
processed.

Using this technique, the spatially correlated errors – such as satellite orbital errors, ionospheric
errors, and tropospheric errors – can be significantly reduced, thus improving the position
solution accuracy.

A number of differential positioning implementations exist, including post-processing surveying,
real-time kinematic surveying, maritime radio beacons, geostationary satellites, and satellite
based augmentation systems (WAAS, EGNOS, MSAS). The real-time kinematic (RTK) method
is the most precise method of real-time surveying. RTK requires at least two receivers collecting
navigation data and communication data link between the receivers. One of the receivers is
usually at a known location (Base) and the other is at an unknown location (Rover). The Base
receiver collects carrier phase measurements, generates RTK corrections, and sends this data to
the Rover receiver. The Rover processes this transmitted data with its own carrier phase
observations to compute its relative position with high accuracy, achieving an RT K accuracy of
up to 1 cm horizontal and 1.5 cm vertical.

1.1.4. Essential Components for Quality Surveying

Achieving quality position results requires the following elements:

• Accuracy – The accuracy of a position primarily depends upon the satellite geometry
(Geometric Dilution of Precision, or GDOP) and the measurement (ranging) errors.

– Differential positioning (DGPS and RTK) strongly mitigates atmospheric and orbital
errors, and counteracts Selective Availability (SA) signals the US Department of Defense
transmits with GPS signals.

– The more satellites in view, the stronger the signal, the lower the DOP number, the
higher positioning accuracy.

• Availability – The availability of satellites affects the calculation of valid positions. The
more visible satellites available, the more valid and accurate the position. Natural and
man-made objects can block, interrupt, and distort signals, lowering the number of
available satellites and adversely affecting signal reception.

Introduction

TRIUMPH-1 Receiver

19www.javad.com

• Integrity – Fault tolerance allows a position to have greater integrity, increasing accuracy.
Several factors combine to provide fault tolerance, including:

– Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) detects faulty GNSS satellites and
removes them from the position calculation.

– Five or more visible satellites for only GPS or only GLONASS; six or more satellites for
mixed scenarios.

– Satellite Based Augmentation Systems (WAAS, EGNOS, etc.) creates and transmit,
along with DGPS corrections, data integrity information (for example, satellite health
warnings).

– Current ephemerides and almanacs.

38 www.javad.com

2.7.1. Establishing a Wireless Connection

The TRIUMPH-1 receiver contains Bluetooth® wireless technology that allows file transfer and
synchronization between the receiver and any other ex ternal device that supports Bluetooth

®

wireless technology; for example, an IPAQ, or a computer with USB-to-Bluetooth® adapter or
PCMCA-to-Bluetooth® adapter installed.

Note: Changing the receiver’s Port D default settings will affect the Bluetooth® link. The default

settings for Port D are 115200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, and no handshaking.

TRIUMPH-1 and external device connection procedure varies slightly depending on the type of
external device used. In general, the connection procedure is as follows:

Note: Refer to your Bluetooth

®

2.9. Collecting Almanacs and Ephemerides

Each satellite broadcasts a navigation message that includes the ephemeris parameters of the
satellite, the almanac, and various other information. The ephemeris parameters describe the
orbital motion of the satellite and are used to predict its location/trajectory. Th e almanac gives the
approximate orbit for the transmitting satellite and all other satellites in the same system only.

• GPS and GLONASS satellites broadcast ephemeris data cyclically, with a period of 30
seconds.

• GPS satellites broadcast almanac data cyclically with a period of 12.5 minutes;
GLONASS satellites broadcast almanac data cyclically with a period of 2.5 minutes.

If the receiver has an almanac, you can considerably reduce the time needed to search for and lock
on to satellite signals. The receiver regularly updates the almanac and ephemerides and stores the
most recent versions in its Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM).

1. Set up the receiver in a location with a clear view of the sky.

2. Turn on the receiver.

3. Wait for about 15 minutes while the receiver collects complete almanac and ephemeris
data from the satellites.

You will need to collect or update the almanac and ephemerides under the following
circumstances:

• If the receiver has been off for a long time.

• If the last known receiver position, stored in the NVRAM, is different from the present
position by several hundred kilometers.

• After loading a new OAF.

CONFIGURATION

Both Base and Rover receivers must be configured according to the desired survey method.

• In applications where real-time positioning results are required, the Base receiv er provides
the correction information needed to properly calculate the location of the Rover receiver.
A Base station is normally set up over a known point and collects GPS/GLONASS data
from satellites. As the receiver picks up satellite data, it measures the carrier and code
phases to accurately compute and verify its location. Then, the receiver transmits this
information via radio (UHF or GSM) to the Rover receiver.

• The Rover receiver applies correction information from the Base station to its current
location to accurately calculate one or more points. Rovers are mobile GNSS receivers on
a survey pole or bipod that compares the information from the Base station to the data it
logs from satellites and applies correction algorithms to accurately calculate a new point.

• In applications intended for post-processing, the receivers typically log code phase and/or
carrier phase measurements separately from common satellites and during the same time
interval. This data is then processed using post-processing software (for example, Justin).

When configuring receivers for RTK surveying, use the following list to ensure the receivers are
properly set up:

• Perform pre-survey preparation as described in Chapter 2.

• Configure one receiver as an RTK Base station and the other receiver as an RTK Rover.
See “Configuring the Receiver” on page 56.

• Configure the communication data link for transmitting and receiving corrections.

• For a modem, see “Configuring the Internal UHF modem” on page 47.

• For a GSM module, see “Configuring the GSM module for Point-to-Point radio link” on
page 48 and “Configuring the GSM module for Internet access” on page 50.

• Set up the Base receiver over a known point to begin collecting static observ ation data and
transmitting corrections. Set up the Rover receiver to begin collecting RTK data. See
“Receiver Setup” on page 71 for more information.

When configuring receivers for post-processing surveying, use the following list to ensure the
receivers are properly set up:

• Perform pre-survey functions as described in Chapter 2.

TriVU configuration and function is outside the scope of this manual. For more information on
any of the procedures in this section or on TriVU, refer to the TriVU Software Manual avail a b le
on the JAVAD GNSS website.

TriVU configures the various parts of the receiver, saving the settings in the receiver’s memory.
These settings will be reflected when you use the MinPad.

Once you have established a connection between the receiver and the computer, you will be able
to:

• configure the receiver and its components

• send commands to the receiver

• download files from the receiver’s memory

• load a new OAF and other configuration files to a receiver

Recording Interval parameter

This parameter specifies the message output interval into the log file when the MinPad FN key
(pressed for1-5 seconds) activates data logging. This setting is used not only when logging a
single log file, but also when logging receiver data in AFRM mode. Values are 1-86400 seconds.

The default value is one second.

Elevation Mask for Log File parameter

This parameter specifies the minimum elevation angle for the satellites whose data will be put in
the receiver files logged when pressing FN.

The default value is five degrees.

File Name Prefix parameter

This parameter specifies what prefix will be added to the names of the receiver files created when
pressing FN. The prefix can be up to 20 characters long.

The default value is log.
Log file names have the following structure:

Configuration

MinPad Configuration

Configuring the External UHF Modem

69www.javad.com

<prefix><month><day><sequential alphabet letter>

The file name depends on both the file creation time (month and day) and additional letter
suffixes to avoid confusion between files created on the same day.

Always Append to the File parameter

If you want the new recei ver data to be appended to an existing log file, enter the desired filename
in this parameter. The setting can be up to 20 characters long.

Files Creation Mode parameter

This parameter has two possible operation modes:

• Log file - If the log file radio button has been selected, pressing the FN key will result in
closing the current log file. If data logging is off, pressing FN will open a new log file.

• AFRM - If AFRM radio button has been selected, pressing FN will enable this mode. If
AFRM has been enabled, pressing FN will disable this mode.

Automatic File Rotation Mode (AFRM) parameters

JAVAD GNSS receivers are capable of automatically rotating log files. During a “file rotation”
event, the receiver closes the current file and opens a new one according to a user-defined
schedule. The Period and Phase parameters specify this schedule. File rotation launches the
moment the receiver time module Period is equal to Phase. More precisely, a new log file opens
immediately before the scheduled epoch causing data tagged with this epoch to be recorded to the
new log file.

When opening a new log file, the receiver enables the default set of messages outputted with the
default output period. Both the default set of messages and the default output period are
programmable.

• Period - specifies the time duration of each log file created in AFRM mode.

• Values are 60 to 86400 seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds.

• Phase - specifies the “phase” (constant time shift) of creating multiple log files in AFRM
mode.

• Values are 0 to 86400 seconds. The default value is zero seconds.

• Files (total) - a counter that specifies how many multiple log files must be created in
AFRM until this mode automatically turns off. This counter decrements on every file
rotation until it value becomes zero, then file rotation automatically stops. The counter
initializes with AFRM.

Configuration

MinPad Configuration
Configuring the External UHF Modem

70 www.javad.com

Note that a log file opens immediately after turning AFRM on. This startup file is not considered
a file rotation event; the AFRM counter will not decrement.

Values are 0 to [231-1]. The default value is 0 (zero). Zero means that an unlimited number of log
files will be created.

• Files (remain) - specifies the number of files left for the receiver to create in AFRM.

• Values are 0 to [231-1]. The default value is zero.

• Automatically remove old files - when no free memory is available to log data,
automatically removes the earliest log file. If this parameter is enabled, your receiver will
erase the file with the earliest file creation time/date. AFRM must be enabled to use this
FIFO (First-In, First-Out) feature.

• The default value is off (disabled).

SETUP AND SURVEY

After configuring the receivers for surveying, each receiver needs to be setup up and the
receiver’s height measured and the survey can begin. The MinPad provides quick access for
logging data, changing receiver modes, and viewing general data logging and satellite
information during a survey.

4.1. Receiver Setup

A typical GPS survey system consists of a Base station set up over a known point and a Rover
receiver set up to be a mobile data collector. After setting up the Base and Rover receivers, the
antenna height must be measured.

Before collecting data, make sure the Base and Rover receivers contain a current almanac and
current ephemeris data (see “Collecting Almanacs and Ephemerides” on page 41).

4.1.1. Set up Receiver

The Base station must be set up, logging data, and transmitting data before setting up the Rover
receiver. Receiver setup for either post-process or RTK surveys is the same.

To set up the Base receiver:

1. Install a tripod or RTK Caddy over a known control point.

2. Attach the TRIUMPH-1 receiver to the tripod or RTK Caddy.

3. Carefully level the tripod and tighten the screws.

4. Attach any other accessories as needed.

To set up the Rover receiver:

1. Attach the TRIUMPH-1 receiver to the to the bipod/range pole. Make sure the receiver
locks into place.

Setup and Survey

Receiver Setup
Measure Antenna Height

72 www.javad.com

4.1.2. Measure Antenna Height

The location of the antenna relative to the point being measured is v ery important for both surve ys
in which the elevation of the points is important and in surveys for horizontal location only.
Horizontal surveys are often larger in area than can reliably fit on a flat plane, therefore the
antenna adjustment must be done in three dimensions and then projected onto a two dimensional
plane.

The receiver calculates the coordinates of the antenna’s phase center. To determine the
coordinates of the station marker, the user must specify the following:

• Measured height of the antenna above the station marker

• Method of measuring the antenna height

• Model of the antenna used

Antennas have two types of measurements:

• Vertical – measured from the marker to the antenna reference point (ARP) located on the
bottom of the receiver at the base of the mounting threads.

• Slant – measured from the marker to the lower edge of the antenna slant height measure
mark (SHMM) located on both end panels of the receiver.

The point to which surveying with GNSS measures is called the Phase Center of the antenna. This
is analogous to the point at which a distance meter measures in a prism. A user must enter the
prism offset to compensate for this point not being at a physical surface of the prism. For a GNSS
antenna, the offset is entered depending on the type of measurement taken.

• For vertical, the offset is simply added to the measured vertical height to produce a “true”
vertical height.

• For slant height, the vertical height must f irst be calculated using the radius of the antenna,
then the offset can be added.

The offsets are different because of the difference in location between the slant measuring point
and the vertical measuring point.

1. Measure the antenna height above the control point or marker, either the slant height or the
vertical height (Figure).

Setup and Survey

2. Record the antenna height, point name, and start time in the field notes.

4.1.3. External Antenna Setup

The TRIUMPH-1 receiver can also be used with an external antenna. Follow the steps below to
connect an external antenna to TRIUMPH-1 and measure its offset.

1. Attach the antenna to a tripod or bipod and center it over the point at which data will be
collected.

2. Measure the antenna height, as described in “Measure Antenna Height” on page 72.

3. Record the antenna height, point name, and start time in the field notes.

4. Attach the flexible RF cable from the external antenna to the antenna connector on the
bottom panel of the receiver.

The TRIUMPH-1 antenna default is set to

Auto

, allowing the receiver to detect automatically the
available antenna (whether internal or external). If you have changed this setting, or the receiver does
not detect the external antenna, use the procedure described on page 59 to set the External Antenna
detection option.

4.1.4. External UHF Modem Setup

1. Connect the external modem to the receiver’s serial port B using serial cable.

2. Attach power cable to modem to power it.

4.1.5. Collect Data

See the remaining sections in this chapter for more information on collecting data.

1. Turn on the receiver.

2. Once the receiver has locked on to eight or more satellites the SAT light will green.

3. A red color of POS LED indicates that the receiver has not solved a position. Four or more
satellites provide optimal positioning.

4. Once the red POS LED is green, the receiver has a position and surveying can begin; wait
for green light before beginning data collection. This ensures that the receiver has the
correct date and time, and is locked on to enough satellites to ensure good quality data.

The process of locking on to satellites normally takes less than one minute. In a new area,
under heavy tree canopy, or after resetting the receiver, it may take several minutes.

5. To begin collecting data, press and hold the FN key (for more than one second and less
than five seconds).

6. Release the FN key when the REC (recording) LED turns green. This indicates that a file
has opened and data collection has started. The REC LED blinks each time data is saved to
the internal memory.

7. When finished, press and hold the FN key until the REC LED light goes out.

8. To turn off the receiver, press and hold the power key until all lights go out, then release.

4.2. MinPad Operation

The MinPad is the receiver’s minimum interface used to display and control data input and output
(Figure 4-1).

Figure 4-1. TRIUMPH-1 MinPad

See “MinPad” on page 20 for a full description of the MinPad.
To turn on/off the receiver, press the On/Off button (Figure 4-1).

• When turning on, press the On/Off button until the MinPad’s LEDs briefly flash.

• When turning off, press the On/Off button until the LEDs go out, then release.

To start/stop logging data, press the FN button for 1–5 seconds (Figure 4-1).

• During data recording, the REC LED is green. Use TriVU to set the recording time
interval. See “Recording Interval parameter” on page 68 for details.

• The REC LED blinks green each time data is written to the memory.

• If the REC LED is red, the receiver has run out of memory, has a hardware problem, or
contains an improper OAF (see “Option Authorization File (OAF)” on page 24 for more
information).

Use TriVU to enable the desired FN key mode in the receiver, either “LED blink mode switch”
for static surveys or “Occupation mode switch” for kinematic surveys. See “Data Recording
Auto-start parameter” on page 70 for details.

Each time you turn off or on data recording, either a new file opens or data appends to a particular
file. See “Always Append to the File parameter” on page 69 and “Files Creation Mode parameter”
on page 69 for information on setting these functions.

Static Surveying for Base Stations
Collect Data

76 www.javad.com

4.3. Static Surveying for Base Stations

Static surveying is the classic survey method, well suited for all kinds of baselines (short,
medium, long). At least two receiver antennas, plumbed over survey marks, simultaneously
collect raw data at each end of a baseline during a certain period of time. These two receivers
track four or more common satellites, have a common data logging rate (5–30 seconds), and the
same elevation mask angles. The length of the observation sessions can vary from a few minutes
to several hours. The optimal observation session length depends on the surveyor’s experience as
well as the following factors:

• The length of the baseline measured

• The number of satellites in view

• The satellite geometry (DOP)

• The antenna’s location

• The ionospheric activity level

• The types of receivers used

• The accuracy requirements

• The necessity of resolving carrier phase ambiguities

Generally, single-frequency receivers are used for baselines whose lengths do not exceed 15
kilometers (9.32 miles). For baselines of 15 kilometers or greater, use dual-frequency receivers.

Dual-frequency receivers have two major benefits. First, dual frequency receivers can estimate
and remove almost all ionospheric effect from the code and carrier phase measurements,
providing much greater accuracy than single-frequency receivers over long baselines or during
ionospheric storms. Secondly, dual-frequency receivers need far less observation time to reach
the desired accuracy requirement.

After the survey completes, data the receivers collect can be downloaded onto a computer and
processed using post-processing software (for example, JAVAD GNSS Justin).

4.4. Kinematic (Stop & Go) Surveying for Rover Stations

In a kinematic, stop and go survey, the stationary receiver (Base s tation) is set up at a known point
such as a survey monument, or an unknown point. The receiver continually tracks satellites and
logs raw data into its memory. The Rover receiver is set up at an unknown point and collects data
in static mode for 2 to 10 minutes. When finished, assign the Rover to kinematic status and move
to the next survey point. At this point, and each subsequent point, the receiver is changed to static

mode to collect data. So, while moving, the Rover is in kinematic mode, and while collecting
data, the Rover is in static mode.

1. Set up the Rover at an unknown point and press power. Allow the Rover to collect static
data for two to ten minutes. The REC LED will be yellow.

2. Check the SAT light for satellites tracked.

3. When finished, press the FN button for less than 1 second to assign the Rover to
kinematic.

4. Move the Rover to the next location (survey point), and press the FN button for less than a
second to collect the data in static mode for two to ten minutes.

5. Repeat steps five and six until all points have been surveyed. The occupation time for the
points depends on the same factors as for the static survey method.

6. When finished, press the FN button for one to five seconds to stop logging data. Turn off
the Rover if needed. This method of GNSS survey allows the operator to reduce the point
occupation time, thus permitting field crews to survey many more points compared to the
other methods available.

4.5. Real Time Kinematic Surveying

With RTK surveying, as with kinematic surveying described above, one receiver serves as the
reference station and conducts observations with its antenna affixed to a stationary tripod or some
other device. The other receiver functions as a rover and conducts observations (using an antenna)
affixed to a mobile pole and moved to observation points.

Unlike post-processed kinematic surveys, RTK surveys utilize a communications link between
the Base and Rover. Using a radio modem link, the Base receiver transmits its measurement and
location data to the Rover receiver. The Rover, based on the transmitted data and its own
observation data, immediately conducts a baseline analysis and outputs the results. For specific
settings used in RTK surveys, see “Configuring the Internal/External UHF Modem/GSM
Module” on page 44 and “Configuring the Receiver” on page 56.

Usually, the receiver will start to output the coordinates of the antenna’s phase center along with
the solution type within 10–30 seconds. However , UHF radios and GSM phones may take as long
as 60 seconds to synchronize.

The geodetic coordinates displayed on the Location tab are always computed in WGS84 and have
four solution types.

• Standalone – where the receiver computes 3D coordinates in autonomous mode without
using differential corrections.

Setup and Survey

Real Time Kinematic Surveying
Collect Data

78 www.javad.com

• Code differential – where the Rover receiver computes the current relative coordinate in
differential mode using only pseudo ranges.

• RTK float – where the Rover receiver computes the current relative coordinates in
differential mode using both pseudo ranges and phases; however, with a float solution, the
phase ambiguity is not a fixed integer number and the “float” estimate is used instead.

• RTK fixed – where the Rover receiver computes current relative coordinates, with
ambiguity fixing, in differential mode. The LQ field reflects the status of the received
differential messages and contains the following information:

• Data link quality in percentage

• Time (in seconds) elapsed since the last received message

• Total number of received correct messages (dependent on the message type received)

• Total number of received corrupt messages (dependent on the message type received)

If the receiver is not (for some reason) receiving differential corrections, or if none of the ports
has been configured to receive differential corrections, the LQ field will either be empty or it will
look like this: 100%(999,0000,0000).

RECEIVER AND FILE
MAINTENANCE

If post-processing the data after completing a survey, the data in the receiver’s memory will need
to be downloaded to a computer.

Downloading and deleting files will also prepare the receiver’s memory for the next survey.
Occasionally, the receiver’s NVRAM may need to be cleared to eliminate communication or
tracking problems.

As project expectations expand, the receiver’s OAF may need to be updated to provide expanded
operation and functionality. The receiver requires firmware to properly operate and provide
appropriate functionality. As JAVAD GNSS releases firmware updates, loading these updates
into the receiver will ensure that the receiver operates at its full potential.

5.1. Downloading Files to a Computer

When your measuring finishes, you can download your measuring files to a computer for storage,
post-processing, or backup. Also, the TRIUMPH-1 memory holds a finite amount of files and
information, so downloading the files to a computer ensures that no files are lost.

You should download files as soon as possible after collecting data at the jobsite. TriVU provides
a File Manager to download files to your computer and delete files from the receiver TRIUMPH-

5.4. Managing Receiver Memory

When using the TRIUMPH-1 receiver in static or dynamic applications, you may need to know
the amount of memory the receiver's log file occupies. The specific memory size depends on the
type of data being recorded. Use the formulas below to compute the approximate size of the
receiver's log files.

• SS – the estimated size of one epoch of raw data in the receiver's log file (expressed in

bytes).

• N – the number of observed satellites per epoch.
When recording only L1 data: SS = 183 + 22*N
When recording L1 and L2 data: SS = 230 + 44*N

5.5. Clearing the NVRAM

The receiver’s Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) holds data required for satellite
tracking, such as almanac and ephemeris data, and receiver position. The NVRAM also keeps the
current receiver's settings, such as active antenna input, elevation masks and recording interval,
and information about the receiver's internal file system.

Even though clearing the NVRAM is not a common (nor normally a recommended) operation,
there are times when clearing the NVRAM can eliminate communication or tracking problems.
Clearing the NVRAM in your TRIUMPH-1 can be interpreted as a “soft boot” in your computer.

After clearing the NVRAM, your receiver will require some time to collect new ephemerides and
almanacs (around 15 minutes). Clearing the NVRAM of your receiver will not delete any files
already recorded in your TRIUMPH-1’s memory. However, it will reset your receiver settings to
factory default values. In addition, the NVRAM k eeps information a bout the receiver file system.

Note that after clearing the NVRAM, the receiver’s SAT LED will flash yellow for a few seconds
indicating that the receiver is scanning and checking the file system.

5.5.1. Using MinPad to Clear NVRAM

1. Press the power key to turn off the receiver.

2. Press and hold the FN key .

3. Press and hold the power key for about 4 to 8 seconds. Release the power key while
continuing to hold the FN key.

5.6. Changing Receiver Modes

The receiver has the following two modes:

• Normal Mode – the standard surveying mode.

• Sleep Mode – used to stop recording data, but keeps the receiver powered on “standby”.

5.6.1. Sleep Mode

In sleep mode, the power board and Bluetooth module will continue to draw power from the
batteries, causing the batteries to drain over time. Sleep mode is the normal “off” state of the
receiver.

1. Connect your receiver and computer, as described in “Connecting the Receiver and a
Computer” on page 37.

2. Turn on your receiver.

3. Start TriVu File Manual Mode (see TriVu Software Manual mode for detailed
information about Manual Mode):

4. To put receiver into Sleep Mode send set,/par/sleep,on command. If a character
is received on one of the serial ports while the receiver is in sleep mode, power will be
immediately switched on. Also, the wake-up time option is available for this parameter.

For example, the command set,/par/sleep,on:2d23h3m55s instructs the
receiver to go into sleep mode and then wake up on next Monday (2d) at 23h3m55s GPS
time.

See GREIS for detailed information about sleep mode.
