Handheld Computer - GPS Receiver

Handheld computers (Figure 3.23) may be used to configure and control the Z-Max
during RTK surveying operations. The use of a handheld computer with graphical
application software can add significant utility to the system and in some cases is
essential. Connection of the handheld computer is accomplished either wirelessly
using the Bluetooth protocol module, or with a cable. If the handheld is going to
interface with the receiver wirelessly, no physical connection is required. The
Bluetooth module in the receiver is on anytime the receiver is powered on. Just make
sure that the Bluetooth module is present in handheld terminal.
If you need to use a cable, the computer communication cable connects to the Z-Max
via one of the two serial ports on the back panel of the receiver. These two ports are
located on the rear panel of the receiver and are labeled SERIAL A and SERIAL B.
The handheld can be connected to the receiver at any time during the equipment
setup and data collection process.
