Prerequisites
GPSDifferential™ for ArcPad® requires that you have ESRI's
ArcPad installed first on MobileMapper CX. The extension
supports ArcPad 7.1. Please refer to ArcPad documentation
for more information.
Installing GPSDifferential™ for ArcPad®
1. Insert the “GPSDifferential™ for ArcPad®” SD card into
MobileMapper CX.
2. Using Windows Explorer, browse the SD card and copy the
following files to the MobileMapper CX folders indicated
below:
• PostProc.apa to MyDevice/ESRI ArcPad 7.1/Applets
• PostProc.vbs to MyDevice/ESRI ArcPad 7.1/Applets
• PostProc.dll to MyDevice/ESRI ArcPad 7.1/Extensions
The first time you initiate the Start Logging GPS Raw Data
function when beginning a post-processing differential
job, you will be asked to input the activation code found
on a separate sheet. This sheet (P/N 631309-98) is part
of the supply.

Operating Requirements
No RTCM source, including MobileMapper Beacon, can be
used with MobileMapper CX when using the post-processing
extension.
The extension is designed in such a way that when you insert
an SD card into the MobileMapper CX unit, raw data will
automatically be logged on the SD card. In the absence of an
SD card, raw data will be logged in the MyDevice folder.
Recommendations
1. Data collected by MobileMapper CX and data drawn in
ArcPad should not be mixed in the same shapefile.
2. Data collected simultaneously by different MobileMapper
CX receivers should be post-processed separately in
MobileMapper Office.
3. If averaging is not used when collecting point data, it is
recommended to remain static on the point for 10 seconds, then create the point and then remain on the point
for a further 10 seconds.
4. ArcPad post-processing results saved in an MMJ job file in
MobileMapper Office cannot be uploaded to MobileMapper or ProMark3. The job’s feature library can however be
exported and uploaded to ProMark3 as an MMF file.

1. Start ArcPad.
2. In the ArcPad 7.1 tool bar, tap on the down arrow to the
right of the GPS icon and then select the GPS Preferences
option. Make the following settings:
• Protocol: NMEA 0183
• Port: COM2:GPS NMEA
• Baud: 57600
Tap OK to validate the settings and close the window.
3. Activate the GPS section:

4. In the ArcPad tool bar, tap on the down arrow to the right
of the Hammer/Wrench icon and select
Raw Data.
Notice that once the raw data logging is activated, the
command you have just selected is changed to Stop Log-
ging GPS Raw Data.
5. Enable ArcPad averaging:
The post-processing extension works with or without the
averaging being enabled in ArcPad. In fact, ArcPad aver
aging does not affect post-processing results.

However, to make sure the post-processing accuracy will
be achieved, it is important that you stay at the collected
point for at least 30 seconds to have adequate raw data
collected.
It is therefore recommended to enable the ArcPad averag-
ing option and select at least 30 positions for point and
vertex averaging. By doing this you will make sure that you
actually stay at the point for at least 30 seconds.
Remember the point is created at the end of the averaging
interval so it is a good idea to stay on the point for about
10 seconds after the averaging screen is closed.
To enable averaging:
• In the ArcPad 7.1 tool bar, tap on the down arrow to
the right of the GPS icon and then select the GPS Pref-
erences option.
• Tap the Capture tab and make the required settings
(see screen opposite).
Tap OK to validate your settings and close the window.
6. Please refer to the ArcPad User Manual to collect point,
line and polygon features.
7. When enough data has been collected, do the following to
stop data logging:
• In the ArcPad tool bar, tap on the down arrow to the
right of the Hammer/Wrench icon.
• Select Stop logging GPS Raw Data.

Post-Processing Shapefiles with Raw Data in MobileMapper Office
1. Install MobileMapper Office 3.40a.
2. Copy the collected shapefiles to the PC.
3. Copy the raw data files to the PC. The naming convention
for raw data files is:
yymmddnn.RAW
Where:
yy: Year (e.g. “05”)
mm: Month (e.g. “10”)
dd: Day (e.g. “14”)
nn: Index number that starts from “00” and is incre-
mented by “1” every time a new file is created the same
day.
RAW: Filename extension.
4. Start MobileMapper Office
5. In the File menu, select MobileMapper CX post processing.
