Receiver Control Subscreen; Serial Port Setting - ashtech ZY-12 Information Supplement

Receiver Control Subscreen

Use the RECEIVER CONTROL subscreen (Figure 3.11) to control the operating
mode of the receiver and how data and positions are stored.
Z MODE allows you to control when Z tracking is implemented. Z tracking is a
method of providing full-wavelength dual-band P-Code data when anti-spoofing
(A/S) is present. This parameter can be toggled to A (automatic), Y(es), or N(o):
A - the receiver reverts to Z mode when A/S is detected (default)
Y - the receiver is set to Z mode at all times.
N - the receiver never goes into Z mode.
RANGER MODE controls how data and positions are stored:
0 - indicates geodetic mode. Stores phase data in B-files that can be post-
processed differentially using carrier phase or code phase.
1 - stores phase data in B-files that can be post-processed differentially using
code phase only. Mode 1 can store more than twice the number of positions
as mode 0.
2 - stores smoothed positions in C-files only. These positions can be
differentially corrected in real time; they can not be post-processed
differentially.

Serial Port Setting

Four RS-232 serial ports are available in the receiver. Two of the ports, A and C,
can be accessed through the 16-pin connector labeled PORT 1 on the rear panel.
The other two, B and D, can be accessed through PORT 2.
