Antennas used with receivers
Leica Geo Office The office software is called Leica Geo Office LGO.
The GX1230, GX1220, GX1200 PPS with PPS/Event option, GRX1200 and GRX1200 Pro receivers use the GPS P-code signal, which by U.S. policy is liable to be switched off without notice. Phase measurements on L2 are ensured as these receivers automatically switch to patented tracking techniques.

2.4.3 Power 2-14
2.4.1 Software Concept
Description All receivers use the same software concept. The software is divided into standard
and customised application programs.
Standard software components
Customised appli­cation programs
Languages
Description of the System GPS1200 2-10
System software: To manage and configure data and functions.
Includes the application program Survey to measure.
Application program software: To generate data in specific application programs.
Some application programs are already uploaded when purchasing the receiver. Some application programs can be uploaded through LGO. Some application programs have to be purchased and then activated through a specific licence key.
Customised application programs can be developed locally using the GeoC++ development environment. Information on the GeoC++ development environment is available on request from the Leica Geosystems representative.
Number of languages: Three languages can be stored on the receiver at one
time - English and two others. English cannot be deleted. One language is selected as active language.
Description of the System
Validity of a language: • For standard software: If a language is not available
Uploading software Software can be uploaded
• from LGO on a PC through a serial interface to the CompactFlash card in the receiver and from there to the System RAM.
• from a CompactFlash card to the System RAM.
•from Leica GPS Spider using the firmware upload tool through the available communication link, for example a serial, dial-up modem or network connection.
2-11GPS1200
for the system software, the English language is used instead. Application programs run in the language they where loaded.
• Customised application programs do always run in the language they were developed in.
2.4.2 Data Storage and Data Conversion
Description Data is stored within a job in a database on a memory device. This is either a
CompactFlash card or an internal memory.

receiver. Available capacity: 32 MB
Whilst other CompactFlash cards may be used, Leica recommends to only use Leica Compact­Flash cards and is not responsible for data loss or any other error that may occur whilst using a non-Leica card.
Description of the System
)
Data conversion Export
For GRX1200/GRX1200 Pro receivers: While in remote operation mode, stop point occupation and ring buffer logging before removing the CompactFlash card.
Data can be exported from a job in a wide range of ASCII formats. The format is defined in Leica Geo Office. Refer to the online help of LGO for information on creating format files.
Import
Data can be imported from ASCII, GSI8 or GSI16 format.
2-13GPS1200
Transfer raw data to LGO
)
Raw data can be transferred between the database on the CompactFlash card or the internal memory of the receiver and LGO in two ways:
• From the CompactFlash card or the internal memory directly through a serial interface to a project in LGO on a PC.
• From the CompactFlash card using for example an OMNI drive as supplied by Leica Geosystems to a project in LGO on a PC.
CompactFlash cards can directly be used in an OMNI drive as supplied by Leica Geosystems. Other PC card drives may require an adaptor.
2.4.3 Power
General Use the Leica Geosystems batteries, chargers and accessories or accessories
recommended by Leica Geosystems to ensure the correct functionality of the instru­ment.
Description Power for the receiver can be supplied either internally or externally. Up to two
external power supplies can be connected using a Y-cable. For the GRX1200/GRX1200 Pro one of the two external power supplies can be configured to be the primary which is always used when available.
Internal power supply: Two GEB221 batteries fit into the receiver. External power supply: GEB171 battery connected via a cable.
OR Car battery connected via a converter cable supplied by Leica Geosystems. OR
10.5-28 V DC power supply via a converter cable supplied by Leica Geosystems.
OR 110/240 V AC to 12 V DC power supply unit, supplied by Leica Geosystems.
