GPS Campaigns - Equipment - Trimble 5700 Receiver Information
Programming for automatic logging of daily UTC sessions:
(Programming the 5700 correctly is critical for collecting the desired data. The process is not trivial, and a well understood sequence must be followed to ensure proper data collection.)

The recommended sequence from UNAVCO is:

1a. Create the configuration file in C-Tools v4.0. Earlier versions of C-Tools do not support Time Activation, which is necessary to program sessions.
-or-
1b. Download the UNAVCO default configuration file below, and proceed to step 4.
2. Save the file to the computer.
3. Close C-Tools.
4. Perform a hard reset of the receiver and format the compact flashcard by holding the receiver power button down for 30 seconds. CAUTION: Any data on the compact flashcard will be erased!
5. Open the saved configuration file in C-Tools.
6. Transmit the configuration file to the receiver.
7. Close C-Tools.
8. Test run the receiver to verify proper operation prior to actual fieldwork.

Configuration Toolbox v4.0 bug: When configuring the 5700 receiver to log data using C-Tools, the configuration file must be transmitted to the receiver BEFORE it is saved. Bug - if the configuration file is saved, then transmitted, the receiver will not automatically log data.

  • UNAVCO default configuration file: 24 hour survey sessions, 15 second data logging, 5 minute position logging, 5 degree elevation mask.


  • UNAVCO standard 5700 system


  • GPS Configurator 5700 v1.20 bug: All files will not show up when viewing files on the receiver. This is fixed in the latest version that accompanies the 5700 v1.22/5800 v1.00 release, available from Trimble.
