• Power Cycle Receiver: This command is the same as turning the TOPCON receiver off and then on.
  • Restore Factory Defaults: This command resets the TOPCON receiver to factory settings and the receiver stops acting as base or rover.  The baud rate of Port A will be set to 115,200.  Reset this to 9600 by turning the receiver off and then on while holding down the FN button.  Watch the REC light go from orange to green to red and then let up the FN button.  This method can be used if SurvCE cannot establish communications at any time.
  • Clear Non-Volatile Memory: This command does everything Restore Factory Defaults does and also clears the almanac data that tells it where to look for the satellites.  The receiver then downloads a new almanac from the satellites.
  • Send Command to Receiver: This command allows experienced users to type in commands using TOPCON GPS receiver commands to set or report internal settings.  (See the TOPCON operations manuals for a complete list of TOPCON GPS receiver commands).
  • Set Satellite Status: This feature allows the user to disable a satellite if necessary.
  • Initialize to Known Point: The Topcon GPS has a special feature to Initialize to a Known Point which can greatly speed up “move ups” from one base position to another.
