    “Firmware update options”. Contact Refraction Technology to determine the applicability and advantages of such an upgrade. In addition to the CPU control code in the 130-01 DAS, the 130-01 DAS requires that you download specific parameter information to instruct it exactly how and when to record data and perform other system functions.
  • Page 28 01 DAS units do not require hardware adjustments for normal operations. You may use a 130-01 DAS unit as a stand-alone recorder, or you may use a network of many 130-01 DAS units deployed over a survey site. During field operations, the 130-01 DAS can store data either in its own internal RAM or Compact Flash.

  • Page 29: Power Considerations

    This section describes current draw, power load, and general power supply considerations for 130-01 DAS units, peripherals, and subsystems. All 130-01 DAS units operate on nominal 12-volt power (10 to 15 VDC). This range allows a 130-01 DAS unit to be powered from an ordinary lead acid battery that can be charged from either a solar or AC power source.

  • Page 30: Port Settings & Modem Communications

    1.7.1 Control (Serial) Port Each 130-01 unit provides two bi-directional, asynchronous serial ports. The first of these ports is accessible at the Serial connector on the 130-01 DAS unit's faceplate. This port has the following primary functions and characteristics:...

    Due to the large variability of CF cards available on the world market and the resulting problems with compatibility due to memory layout, signal structuring and power requirements, Refraction Technology cannot guarantee a CF card will work in a REF TEK data recorder unless it is sold through REF TEK itself. REF TEK ensures compatibility through communications with CF manufacturers and rigorous in-house testing.

  • Page 95: To Test The 130 Das Memory

    This Section explains the how the Memory Test (MT) command is handled in the REF TEK 130-01 DAS. 4.10.2 Memory test process The Memory Test Command causes the REF TEK 130-01 to perform a memory test on data and buffer memory. Since the test overwrites any existing data, the DAS performs several actions prior to starting the actual test.

  • Page 107 The DAS internal clock or 1 Hz is compared to the 130-GPS 1 Hz periodically and the difference is noted. In this case: 223 mS 357:09:44:53 GPS: POSITION: N23:18:20.04 E101:23:29.58 +01610M The DAS prints the 130-GPS position information given by this 130-GPS after lock. Refraction Technology, Inc.
  • Page 108 130-01 Operations 305:02:37:56 SIRF: JERK The DAS compares the 130-GPS time to its internal oscillator time at the first GPS lock since 130 power-up or reset. If a change is required to equal the 130-GPS time, enables the timing algorithm that makes the change, Time Jerk. It gives the time it was enabled and will jerk the DAS internal clock with the next IPPS or 1 Hz rise from the 130-GPS.
