Handheld Computer - GPS Receiver

Handheld computers may be used to 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 in the backpack configuration is
accomplished with a cable. One end of the serial cable connects to the handheld
computer and the other side 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 (serial A is recommended).
The handheld can be connected to the receiver at any time during the equipment
setup and data collection process.
FAST Terminal
The FAST Terminal (Figure 3.33) is offered as an option with the Z-Max system for
RTK surveys. It is lightweight, durable and weather resistant for use in outdoor
environments. The FAST Terminal allows both wireless and cable connections
between the Z-Max Receiver Module and the PC. When using a cable connection, the
FAST Terminal should be connected to serial port A on the GPS Receiver Module
(labeled SERIAL A).
